Some things I never dreamed I would do (and others I hoped I wouldn't)

1. Cleaning up the cockroach cemetery under my kitchen counters. And my washer. And my oven.
2. Swimming in the Persian/Arabian Gulf.
3. Being the only woman on a street full of 2000 plus men looking for a restaurant that seemingly disappeared.
4. Whilst looking more disheveled than I ever have in my life, accidentally wandering into a posh Indian restaurant instead after having traipsed across 20 minutes of sandy road. The kind of posh where the waiters put your napkin on your lap for you.
5. Accidentally drinking the bowl of hot water and lemon the waiter brought after our meal. Only to have him stop us and tell us that was to wash our hands in.
6. Witnessing a chimney fire from my rooftop.

It's always an adventure.
