Getting a flat tire

Getting a flat tire is inconvenient; first you must not put on the brakes, you must park the car in a safe place, especially if there is no garage nearby to help out. Whether it happens in town or in a remote location; It’s important to know how to change a tire.

This is what must be done. First, the wheel nuts must be loosened. This should be done before the car is raised, using the jack. Next, the car is jacked up. Then the nuts are removed. After that the wheel is removed and the spare tire is put on. Then the nuts are tightened and the car is lowered. The nuts are tightened one last time for safety. Finally the tools are tidied away. You are now ready to drive on.

As you can see, changing a tire is a very simple and straightforward process, but you must follow the above steps in the correct order, particularly the first step of loosening the wheel nuts before you raise the vehicle.

Niah Caves

A Journey from Brunei to Sarawak

Thirty years ago, Hedley, with his wife Mary and daughter Katie visited the

Niah Caves in Sarawak, East Malaysia. They travelled by car,

ferry, and boat.

They set off from Bandar Seri Begawan, the capital of Brunei,

and drove to the border with Sarawak. They crossed two large rivers

by ferry, stopped in Miri for lunch and then continued to Niah, a

small river township. Then they hired a small boat and sailed

upriver to a government rest house, where they spent the night.

They ate with the small group of scientists who lived in the rest

house and shared the cold drinks they had brought with them in

a cool box. It was a remote spot, deep in the jungle. They slept

in bunk beds with no air conditioning. It was a novel experience.

The next morning, they walked along a jungle path for half an hour

until they reached the Niah caves. Inside the caves, which were very

high, they saw men who climbed up tall bamboo poles. The men wore

lights on their hats because it was so dark. At the top of the poles they

scraped off birds’ nests from the roof of the caves. The nests

were collected by their mates on the cave floor and packed into sacks.

These nests were later sold and made into bird’s nest soup, a

Chinese delicacy.   

That afternoon, they said goodbye to their new-found friends

in the rest house and set off on the long drive home.

 It was quite an adventure and one they would never forget.

Celebrating National Day

This weekend I celebrated National Day in Dubai. I went with my family for two nights, and I wasn’t prepared for this journey.

          We left Abu Dhabi on Thursday morning and drove to Dubai. The duration to arrive was one hour, and I was booked into Dusit Hotel on Shaikh Zayed St. The place of the hotel was very nice and we were on the 13^th floor with a Burj Khalifa view. After we arrived we went to the Mall of Dubai and we went to Sea World park in the mall, but we didn’t complete our round because my son was afraid and crying all the time. Then we took our dinner and we went to the hotel. The day after, we left the hotel at 12:30pm to go to the Mall of Emirates and at 5:30pm we went to Global Village. We enjoyed it there. We visited most of the villages and their was crowded.

The vacation was really interesting and distinctive because of the events and parties of the National Day and the weather was fine. Saturday we left Dubai, going back to Abu Dhabi, and we enjoyed the National day in Dubai.
