Welcome to our blogg.

We thought this would be a nice way to keep our friends and family updated about what we are up to! And for us to have some kind of diary, to save for the future when we move back home to Sweden. We choose to write in English so all our friend could read it=) (and it's also good practice for me)

About us

Dubai
We are a family of four, and one dog and six guinea pigs (and one cat that lives in Blentarp, Sweden) We moved to Dubai a year ago, Henrik is working here and Ingela is a housewife and both children are in school. Victoria is 7 years old and Cornelia is 5 years old. They are in grade 1 and 2. When they started school here, Victoria just started school in Sweden and didn't speak any English and Cornelia where still in kindergarten in Sweden and didn't speak any English either. Now a year later they speak English and writes and read English as well. They also learn Arabic in school. After some difficulties it seams like they enjoy school and our life here, and that feels very good. If they like it here it's easier for us to also relax and enjoy our stay here in Dubai. And now we have one more member of our family, a streetcat named Stripy, Findus, Nisse, Tiger and Findus=), and also one more guinea pig has died, so 5 guinea pigs left.

Getting started.


So this is our first try to do our blogg. It's not much to start with but hope it will be later on!!
At the moment we are taking care of Henrik, who has broken his right femur and left pelvis.
Me and Henrik were at SkiDubai on Monday the 8th and Henrik did a jump and fell badly, and we left the ski slope with ambulance. You know you should read throw all this insurance papers and also check up hospitals and so on, but time flies and when the ambulance personnel asked where we wanted to go, we where not prepared. But we have heard about The American Hospital (only deliveries though) so we told them to go there. It costed us 300 dhs (600 skr) and the other hospital they talked about was for free. But The American Hospital seems like a good choice. Henrik went trough surgery on Tuesday afternoon. He now has a 40 cm long nail in his right femur and the pelvis is supposed to heal by it self. He came home the 16th and the day before here was a physiotherapist at our home just to see how it would work having a wheelchair here.
Everything went well and now his home and everything is great.
Today he bought a new press bench, just to keep his upper body fit!
