"Before I die I want to_____ "- An Amazing Art Project by Candy Chang

From their site..."It’s easy to get caught up in the day-to-day and forget what really matters to you. When Candy lost someone she loved very much, she thought about death a lot. This helped clarify her life but she struggled to maintain perspective. She wanted a reminder and she wanted to know what was important to the people around her. So with help from old and new friends, she turned the side of an abandoned house in her neighborhood in New Orleans into a giant chalkboard and stenciled it with the sentence “Before I die I want to _______.” so anyone walking by can pick up a piece of chalk, reflect on their lives, and share their personal aspirations in public space."

More about the artist......Candy Chang is an artist who wants to make cities more emotional. She believes in the potential of sharing more in public space to improve our communities and ourselves. She is a TED Senior Fellow, a Tulane Urban Innovation Fellow, a World Economic Forum Young Global Leader, and was named a “Live Your Best Life” Local Hero by Oprah Magazine. By combining street art with urban planning, activism, and contemplation, she has been recognized for developing new strategies for the design of  cities.

Dhafra Sunset Cruise, Abu Dhabi

Sharing a few photos from a pleasant cruise trip we went on, last December. This is at Al Dhafra, Mina.The Dhafra Sunset Cruise is a 1 hour cruise around the Corniche Breakwaters. The sunset view was absolutely beautiful and the weather had just the perfect amount of wind. We were served with an assortment of appetizers and cocktails during this trip.I don't have any pics of the food (we finished it all before we thought of pictures), so you can see the menu here.

 Per Person charge is only Dhs 45 . And the Food was definitely the highlight of this trip. If you wish to know more details on booking See This Site.
