Before coming to NYUAD, I had never even tried coffee.
That has definitely changed now.
My first venture into the world of coffee began at the Dubai Mall, the largest in the world. I had been wandering for a while, and, with my collegiate mindset, decided to stop at one of the numerous coffee shops. What I discovered was that while the taste of coffee isn't horrible, I really don't like lattes. Of any kind (back at home I had tried a chai latte, and even though I love chai, I disliked the latte).
Then the next day comes, and one of my unofficial roommates, Remi, (like stated in an earlier blog, we have a quad, so people visit us a lot :) ), made ice coffee (she has a blender). And that was really good.
Now add onto this the fact that I have an 8:30 class Monday to Thursday, and you get this:
Nescafe Mocha. I also tried the original, which wasn't as good, but Al Safa (the nearby supermarket- which has EVERYTHING, and is only 3 buildings away from the dorm, so it is awesomeness), has run out of the mocha. But I have enough for the first week :)
