RE: A day in the life of A Filipino Family Living in the UAE #2: Cassiel's first Movie Experience!

in ASEAN HIVE COMMUNITY3 years ago

A few of my nephews have been talking about this new Spiderman movie, I didn't realize it was already out. Wow!! A PCR test just for the movie theater, I hope you don't have to pay for the test. I have to take a PCR test to fly back to Cambodia, and I have to rent a car, drive 4 hours from my home, pay $150 for the test, then stay two nights in a hotel awaiting the results.

The inconvenience of this with the hotel, fuel and food costs is an extra $600, the world has gone crazy.

Sort:  

I think the movie came out earlier here in the UAE. December 15.
Everything here requires a PCR test, malls, grocery stores, liquor stores and all stores you can think of. It has been the UAE’s effort to really minimize this covid to nothingness. Haha. Anyway, it is free in my company and we have to do it every two weeks!

The Philippines also have this hotel quarantine rule, only difference is that the PH government will pay for the hotel as long as we are an Overseas Filipino Worker. We haven’t gone home but that is the update from the embassy. 600$ is 600$, that is a lot!
