Hi. I'm here today with Michelle Navotny. Thanks for coming.
Michelle says:

Chris - Official Dead Fenix Reporter says:
Michelle recently moved from here in Calgary all the way to the United Arab Emirates. First off for all those readers failing geography where is the UAE?
Michelle says:
the UAe is located on the Persian gulf next to Oman and very near to Syria it has 7 emirates
Chris - Official Dead Fenix Reporter says:
So why did you and your family move there?
Michelle says:
we had to move there because of my fathers job, he found a very good one here....
Chris - Official Dead Fenix Reporter says:
Cool. Oil industry right?
Michelle says:

Chris - Official Dead Fenix Reporter says:
Oh ok sounds neat. So what language do people speak over there?
Michelle says:
they speak Arabic and of course English
Chris - Official Dead Fenix Reporter says:
How has it been learning Arabic? I'm guessing it's a little different than English.
Michelle says:
its totally different not even close to English, it a difficult language but very interesting, I love it
Chris - Official Dead Fenix Reporter says:
cool. Now there's one question I'm sure all our readers want to know: how do you swear in Arabic?
Michelle says:

Chris - Official Dead Fenix Reporter says:
lol thank you. I'll have to remember that one now that my family has swear jars.
Michelle says:

Michelle says:

Chris - Official Dead Fenix Reporter says:
Lol, I guess its universal. So have you been going to school with the locals?
Michelle says:
yes I have, its suppose to be American but its local but the classes are suppose to be in English but sort of are not
Chris - Official Dead Fenix Reporter says:
Ok. So in the UAE woman wear burkas right? If so what kind of dress code do they have at school. I'm thinking if hair is off limits a midriff might be a big no-no.
Michelle says:
haha yeah we do have a strict dress code actually not all women wear burkas but they wear sheilas and abyas. In school we are supposed to wear a sheila but I don't and we can not show our arms is we r in high school, we have to wear long, I mean long skirts, we can show our feet... Our PE uniform consists of pants and they can't touch our ankles cuz that's the Islamic law
Chris - Official Dead Fenix Reporter says:
Wow. I guess that might make girls think twice before they whine about not being able to wear bras to school. Do they have school teams?
Michelle says:
hahaha no
Chris - Official Dead Fenix Reporter says:
Really?
Michelle says:
our school is boring but they have better school unfortunately I'm in the wrong one
Chris - Official Dead Fenix Reporter says:
Lol ok. So what are the kids like in the UAE? Are they just like people back in Canada or very different?
Michelle says:
very different they are very loud and never stay still they are full of energy
Chris - Official Dead Fenix Reporter says:
Hmm, would you say they're more immature than Canadians?
Michelle says:
yes totally extremely I get surprised some times
Chris - Official Dead Fenix Reporter says:
Lol, so have you made many friends?
Michelle says:
no not too many they wont be your friend unless you're local I have one friend from India and another from Scotland they are great
Chris - Official Dead Fenix Reporter says:
Awesome. Is it a racist culture?
Michelle says:
no its not suppose to but they are
