Training!!

OK seriously where do I start ..... ONe thing you dont get a lot of here in Dubai training for cabin crew is SLEEP but its FUN as well as hard !!

They have really spent money on the training here . You do a company induction day where you sit and learn about the arabic culture and drink arabic coffee with dates. A Medical day where they introduce you to the medical clinic let you meet the doctors you get a few jabs too nothing to worry about . Then the welfare department come in and give you a lecture on looking after yourself in Dubai and how to be safe . They give you a couple of the horror stories to set you in sted for living here. At the same time you've been spending quite a lot of time with your new batch mates and i'm really lucky to have some of the funniest people in mine its a real laugh just keep laughing even when you exhausted which is all the time.

Grooming!! WOW so you learn how to manicure your nails ( BOYS INCLUDED) how to cleanse tone and moisturise , make up and hair its just an excuse to completely pamper yourself , try out all the chanel products and look beautiful afterwards . Its the first time you will wear your uniform today and the first time you learn how to wear the hat !!! I've got loads of pictures but i cant get them on right now so i promise i will get them uploaded as soon as i can !!

After all this fluffy fun stuff you hit Safety and Emergency training which is hard but fun too you get to go in the simulator and pretend to be cabin crew in an unanticipated emergency landing , demaning thin air to OPEN SEAT BELTS LEAVE EVERYTHING COME THIS WAY hehe. Then they chuck you in a freezing cold swimming poolwith inflated life jackets where you freeze yourself waiting for each individual person to climb into the huge raft (which would usually mean you've just ditched into water ) The exams you really have to study for theres a lot to know but when you've done the exams for safety and emergency procedures your half way there.

Thats as far as i've gotten so far , big exam tomorrow , gotta know where all the emergency equipment goes on the whole plane and theres 3 different kinds of Airbus ..... then onto the b777 different kettle of fish .... confusing you already ? exactly how i feel .

To end on a really good note... i've heard that our graduation party will be at the crowne plaza hotel night club and its a free bar !!!! and its only 10 minutes walk from my house so its gonna be hectic. i'm really feeling the training and so are the rest of them and we just cant wait to be done and have a party !!! ooooh and fly ...

Special mention to my new friends Dee tony atchara yuki lesley emma erica susie bec radika jonny jean and chady who have really helped in making the first 2 weeks funny as **** ;-)
