Till death do them part: husband!Harry Styles oneshot

TW: reader gets constant scares of her and Harry’s life together being short, apart from that all pure fluff and him making her feel better. A cutesy honeymoon shot. 💜

Y/n’s wedding day with Harry was the best day in her life. It felt cliché. It felt basic. But it was the truth. Their vows were taken under the moonlight rather than at daytime in a beautiful rose garden with close family and friends and then the next day they had a proper wedding reception and she got two dresses for fun. But it wasn’t the dresses, or the roses, even the cake that they had both picked after hours of tasting to decide on a flavor it was him. Mr Harry Edward Styles was the highlight of the day. She snuck glances at him anytime she could to catch him smiling as wide as she was, reminding her how he painfully loved her just as much as she loved him.

They honeymooned in the Middle East going from UAE, to Turkey to even some parts of Saudi Arabia. The traditional places to go would be Rome, Paris, Athens maybe. But both y/n and Harry loved Mediterranean and middle eastern food and they deeply respected and admired the culture of the area so they thought it was a perfect place to see together for the first time.

Their honeymoon had basically ended now but Harry really wanted to take her to Cornwall. He loved it there and vividly remembered walking through the beautiful streets of the quaint towns and imagining what it would be like to come here with someone he deeply adored and now he had found her. And his dream had come true. Her hand was in his as he led her along the streets, pointing out his favorite sights from time to time. She had to admit; Cornwall was beautiful and she didn’t regret a single part about coming here.

But she did regret trying to cram all that in for a week and a half. They were both exhausted you could see it on their faces. Luckily, fewer people recognized them in the Middle East but fans still existed and the odd one wanted to chat or have a picture. They were happy to do that but it got very tiring after a while and now that they were back in England it was even worse. It didn’t help that you couldn’t look your best in a raincoat with your socks wet and your drenched hair sticking to your face and when it wasn’t pouring it was so windy that at certain points she was sure she would actually be carried away by the strong Cornish winds.

“Harry?” She softly asked, “can we take a break?”

His eyes softened as he looked over to his wife understandingly. His gaze flickered down to his watch. “Yeah baby if you want to. We’ve got a good hour to kill before the ferry takes us back. You wanna grab lunch?”

“Yes! Are there any restaurants around here?”, she eagerly asked

He smiled slightly and stepped out of the path of people strolling. Leaning against one of the buildings, he pulled out his phone and quickly google searched a few things. “Well there’s a restaurant like half an hour away from here but then we’d miss the ferry and have to spend another hour here…or if you want we could just keep walking and then when we get back to our air bnb we can see the options and have a proper big meal.” He suggested. She pondered for a second.

“I’m not sure…what do you think?”

“Your choice baby honey but I think we could have tea and then eat dinner after we get back yeah?”

“Tea?”

“Yes..?”

“How is tea meant to fill me up?”

“How is it not?”

“It’s a cup of warm water with dirt..”

“Oh darling I don’t mean tea as in a cup of tea!”

“Huh..?”

“Baby, in Britain tea is like…a meal..it’s tea but you have sandwiches and-and cakes! And little pastries too.”

“Oh…cool..then where can we get tea from?”

“I’ll check.” He opens his phone again, entering in the sickeningly sweet password of the day he met her. “Right there’s one tea place down the street and there’s a better reviewed one if we hike a little bit up the mountain.”, he explained. The place they were in was basically a town built on a mountain so the walk was quite steep and definitely hard.

“I don’t care about reviews,” she sighed as her stomach grumbled, “I need food.”

He grinned, “down the street it is darling.”

She had to admit. Teatime was a lovely tradition she’d definitely like to continue. She didn’t think about it much yet but sometimes the thought did cross her mind that maybe she’d grow old with him. They’d become bored of obsessing over the same rock musicians. They’d slowly become interested in eating digestive biscuits and watching the news together. They’d have kids maybe…maybe even grandkids, and watch them grow up while they grow old. It was scary to think that one day she was gonna lose him…or he was gonna lose her. It was always a thought at the back of her mind that came back to haunt her at moments like these in pure bliss with her husband but that’s when she needed to push them away the most and focus on the fact that the beautiful man in front of her was her husband. The caring, kindhearted soul she talked to everyday was now her partner in everything till death do them part. …..till death do them part. She snapped back to reality as she heard Harry’s spoon clinking while stirring his tea.

“It’s very hot..” he muttered before blowing on it a bit, “do you want to try any of the pastries love?”

She smiled, “I’m good for now. Thanks though.”

He smiled back at her. “Come on. You can’t have made me walk all the way here and not even appreciate Cornish pasties. Hm?”

She let out a small chuckle as she finally agreed and let him force her to try a few different things she’d never even seen before and oddly enough she ended up liking all of them. She just couldn’t get her old thoughts out of her mind.

“Do you ever feel bad for your mum?” She gently asked

Harry looked up in confusion, “what’d you mean lovie?”

“As in..she divorced your dad and then….her husband passed away before they even got to see their first grandchild.”

Harry sighed and ran a hand through his hair, “I mean yeah I do feel bad in that aspect I guess..but I’m sure she’s alright now…why are you asking?”

“Do you ever get scared that’ll happen to you? Like—are you ever doing things with me and then you get sudden anxiety or realisation that one day you’ll do this exact same thing without me—”

“Hey—woah..babe where is this coming from?”

“I don’t know…it’s weird I guess but I do think about it a lot…and it’s really scary.”

“Hey..” he takes her hand and runs over it softly with his thumb, his cold silver wedding ring clashing with her warm skin in a an uncomfortable comfort. “These are just thoughts, they should be pushed to the very very back of your mind for now okay? We are so lucky we have everything we could ever want were financially stable we’re happy and healthy and we have so many opportunities and supportive people around us..we’re lucky enough to not need to constantly worry about any of those things you hear me? The odds of any of us-heaven forbid-dying before another twenty years AT LEAST is minute, tiny tiny tiny. So you don’t need to worry. Ok?”

“But Harry..”

“Shh! No buts. I never want you to worry about anything happening to either of us again. If this is making you so uncomfortable that you can’t enjoy the things we do anymore…you need to rid yourself of that love. It’s nice to think sometimes, but all the time isn’t healthy my darling. I assure you you won’t ever be alone in any lifetime again. I found you here, now didn’t I? I’ll find you again in a thousand years when we have flying cars and what not. Yeah? I’ll promise, when you have a flying car I’ll be the first guy to crash into you and we’ll meet again.” He chuckled slightly, hoping to get something from her too. She cracked a bit of a smile, “honey,” he continued, “my point is I will find you just like I did now just like I did hundreds of years ago. Whether that was as Romeo and Juliet, Mary and Percy Shelly, heck even as Courtney love and Kurt Cobain.”

Harry’s voice was now tinged with humor, “my point is, you chose this. You’re stuck with me now whether you like it or not Mrs Styles” he flashed her a grin.

God this man was a catch

5 Takeaways from La Vuelta Feminina

Competition is good.

There were no boring stages. Every stage of La Vuelta Feminina was competitive this year, and most were quite close. Even the sprint stages ended up having major GC action with the cross-winds. If you look at the results, it seems to favor the super teams like SD Worx-Protime and Visma Lease-a-Bike, and they certainly did have good results. But every stage was hotly contested, there were no dominant solo breakaways, and teams like FDJ-Suez or EF Education-Cannondale played their cards well to upset the favorites for some stage races. Frankly, the Vuelta Feminina was a lot more fun to watch than the men's Giro d'Italia is looking to be. (There, we said it!)

2. La Vuelta Feminina's spot on the calendar is fantastic.

We think the organizers of the Vuelta Feminina have absolutely nailed the spot on the calendar. That lull at the end of the spring classics was just begging for a stage race, and Spain's beautiful countryside and cities look best in spring. That's always been the down side of La Vuelta versus Le Tour in the men's calendar, the scenery is so much greener and prettier during the Tour in July than the Vuelta in August. A spring Vuelta solves that problem and avoids overlap with the Tour de France Femme or the Giro Donne, bringing top talent to the race.

3. Weird dynamics at SD Worx-Protime continue.

Honestly, we don't know what is going on in this team. Demi Vollering's performance was great, she deserved both stage wins and the general classification. But her best mountain domestique was arguably Grace Brown of FDJ-Suez and not any of her own teammates. There were times when Marlen Reusser or Mischa Bredewold seemed to attack Vollering, or when Vollering was leading out the group with her own teammates behind. It didn't escape our notice that Vollering wasn't on the podium when SD Worx accepted the best team award. No one outside the team can tell, but Abby Mickey of the Escape Collective probably said it best when she said "the SD Worx-Protime team bus can’t be a fun place to hang out at the moment."

4. Crashes continue to be a real danger.

It's been a horrible year for crashes in both the men's and women's peloton, and the Vuelta Feminina saw its share of them, even in the winning team on the first TTT stage! It's a shame we didn't get to see a rematch of Gaia Realini versus Demi Vollering due to Realini's crash and withdrawal, although Evita Muzic took us somewhat by surprise and rose to the challenge instead. Likewise, the withdrawal of very strong riders like Ellen van Dijk (Lidl-Trek), Anna Henderson (Visma Lease-a-Bike), Emma Norsgaard (Movistar), Marta Cavalli (FDJ-Suez), Clara Emond (EF Education-Cannondale), and several others due to injuries from crashes was a real shame.

5. Several riders and teams are stepping up.

It wouldn't be fair to say that Evita Muzic has been flying below anyone's radar, but until last week, we didn't know how good her form has become. If she hadn't been caught in the second group during the crosswind echelons of Stage 4, she would have had a real shot at the podium, but she can be happy with her stellar victory on Stage 6. Similarly, Riejanne Markus was remarkably consistent in the mountains and her second-place finish is a real mark to watch her in future GC competitions. Both FDJ-Suez and EF Education-Cannondale were very strategic, using their riders effectively, and nabbed some great stage wins as a result. Ricarda Bauernfeind's (Canyon-SRAM) sixth-place finish was impressive, if only because she lost two minutes in the Stage 4 crosswind split, and was presumably riding for teammate Kasia Niewiadoma until Niewiadoma had to withdraw due to illness.

And we have to tip our hats to Karlijn Swinkels of UAE Team ADQ, who fought mightily to keep the mountains classification jersey after winning it in Stage 2, which enlivened several of the breakaways throughout this year's Vuelta Feminina. We would prefer to see the polka-dot jersey points to be calculated so as to not favor the GC winner, and the last-minute rule change before Stage 8 probably doomed Swinkels' campaign to win the Queen of the Mountains, but Swinkels fought hard regardless, and for that we salute her.

Hii~ idk if you talked about it but could you tell us your journey in Japan? How is it + how did you manage to go there (if you want to share ofc!)

It's because I'd like to move to Japan and I'm trying to collect information on how to successfully go there.. so if you have any advice pls lemme know, I'd really appreciate it! Have a great day!

Hi there! I sure can :)

How I Got There

Pretty much everyone I know who came to Japan is an ESL teacher (not surprising given I am an ESL teacher and so are all my colleagues, and when I was doing research I mostly searched Youtube for people's ESL experiences in Japan). The most common route of application is via the JET Program. There are also a number of Eikaiwa companies that hire from abroad and will sponsor your visa (this is what I did - I'm happy to give you the details of my recruiter over a DM if you want). However, pretty much all of these options require you to have a bachelor's degree (doesn't matter what in). The main problem with these kinds of companies is you don't have much control over where in Japan they put you, and typically you won't be in a big city (although you might be in a surrounding area - one guy from my training group is based in Saitama). The pay's also not great (but as long as you live within your means, you'll be very comfortable and you can definitely save up).

Even if teaching English isn't something you fancy, it's probably the easiest way to get into Japan if you have a bachelor's. You don't have to be a native English speaker (although you should be at least a comfortable C1, ideally C2 level), and once you're in Japan you can find a job you actually want much more easily.

You can also try GaijinPot for more jobs - there's a section for people applying from overseas. But please check on places like Reddit or FB groups whether a job seems reasonable before applying; anything that advertises pay "per hour" is unlikely to be a liveable wage, and I've been told 240K/mo in Tokyo is not really sufficient (no problem for me out in the sticks, but Tokyo living costs are crazy).

How It Is

I love the nature here! I live in the Tohoku region so I'm surrounded by mountains and forests and I feel so lucky!

The summer sucks if you aren't a fan of the heat. We had 33-37ºC every day from mid-July to the start of September. I have a colleague who grew up in the UAE and he's been laughing at us all saying how beautiful the weather is, but for me, who is native to a cold and soggy little mound of grass in the Atlantic, it is horrendous. Not to mention the cicadas. Idk if there are cicadas where you live but I was NOT prepared.

You can get by without Japanese, but making the effort will go a LONG way. If you've only ever travelled in Europe or English-speaking countries, you'll probably have the impression that "everyone speaks English to some degree" and that you can always find someone with good enough English to help you. This is not the case in Japan! Your interactions will be very awkward if you don't make the effort. You'll probably be fine in bigger cities but more remote regions will be very difficult to navigate.

I understand Japanese a LOT better than when I first came here. I can still barely speak it, but I'm always surprised by how much I can pick up from the kids from the words I know and context (this is a huge advantage to teaching if learning Japanese is your goal: young kids will babble at you in Japanese CONSTANTLY). I'd probably speak it better if I made the effort to go out and talk to people but I'm shy lol.

I love the job! My colleagues are great and the kids are so much fun. My company does provides really good support and my work-life balance is perfect for me. I also get to use my creative side making classroom materials. But I don't get sick days and I only have 10 paid vacation days, 5 of which are at the end of the year and cannot be moved. I'm also pretty sure most other eikaiwas and Japanese companies will work you a lot harder, and you'll have much longer hours and higher expectations from your company.

Hope that helps! Best of luck with everything. Feel free to shoot me another ask if you have more specific questions!

I don't know how to offend someone from Andorra or Liechtenstein, but having dealt with both Albanians and Sammarinese in the past: If you want to offend someone from Albania, imply that they're from the mountains; and if you want to offend someone from San Marino, say that they're Italian.

Fun little bit about Liechtenstein, the only reason I learned it exists is because Conan was going around as a bit and insulting every country in the world in a effort to see where he was on the air, he'd made a joke about some place and got some annoyed letters from some fans there. He didn't even know he was on there. I'm glad he's free from the late night nonsense, current year humor is dead and he's too funny for that crap.

Those could work, maybe bring up the bunkers for Albania but that may be hit or miss.

Andorra you could probably go with calling them either french or spanish to tick them off, given the way the place works and all, don't think enough people even know the place exists to warrant an insult.

Which might also work

I forgot Monaco too, you could tell them that UAE or Qatar has a higher GDP than them or something like that, call them poor basically.

Malta, probably something about the pope and crusades.

Looking again North Macedonia, honestly asking them about Alexander the Great would be the best way in my experience.

They skipped Kosovo too, but they've had enough problems I'll leave them be.

Songs of My Life: Minova

Minova is an indie-pop musician based in the UAE, born and raised in the extremely multi-cultural city of Abu Dhabi, and it's safe to say how they got to that place is an incredibly interesting story. After we recorded our podcast, I had the pleasure of having Minova explain the tracks that are important to them and helped form their musical journey.

Empire State of Mind by Jay-Z & Alicia Keys

I would listen to the radio on my way to school and this would always be the song playing, I guess it reminds me of simpler times. I'd just go to school, come back and play with my toys then go to bed, wake up and do it over again the next day. I didn't have much to worry about and one of the things that stuck with me was the music that played around that time.

Listening to music was a big part of my childhood, especially with MTV being popular, and Radio One was also a big thing. They played genuinely good music at the time. this song is very catchy, and I remember singing along to it with my family, most likely during karaoke.

Riptide by Vance Joy

My school didn’t really have a music teacher, and the only time we have anything to do with music was when I brought my guitar in. Riptide was one of the songs that my class and I would sing every time I brought my ukulele or guitar in. it was just a nice environment because everybody got to bond together through music. It was especially fun to sing along to because everybody knew the lyrics. 

Where’s My Love by SYML

This song was a major part of my guitar-learning journey. at first, I started with the basic chords then I went on to finger-picking. As a result, I started listening to different types of music to learn guitar parts. That’s how I came across this song, and other artists, like Hozier. I fell in love with the melodies and the style of guitar playing. I spent a lot of my childhood learning and expanding on my hobbies and interests like guitar and music in general. 

Everything about this song from the atmosphere to the lyrics to the melody to the fingerpicking pattern is so beautiful, and it inspired me to learn how to make this type of music, music from the indie genre. I have some unreleased music that I wrote to try to emulate this sound. 

The songs in this playlist are not just about my life, but they also represent my musical journey as that is a large portion of my life. I like to stay at home and learn new things in music so I don’t have many experiences in music outside of my house.

Jealous by Labrinth

Learning the guitar evolved into wanting to learn the piano. Jealous is such a beautiful song about a beautiful topic, and the way Labrinth sings on top of the piano parts just made me crave playing the piano again. Before I learned chords, before I learned anything else, I learned how to play the beginning of this song. 

Where Did I Go? by Jorja Smith

After going through my piano phase, I started listening to a bunch of different songs from different genres and that's how I found Jorja Smith and just… wow. The first song of hers that I listen to was On My Mind, and after that, I dove headfirst into her music and her albums. I found Where Did I Go? and it blew my mind. everything from her voice to the atmosphere of her music just amazed me. I was just astonished at the sound she was able to create and the creativity behind it, along with her other tracks. This song got me to start listening to other R&B artists such as Mahalia, Daniel Caesar & Frank Ocean. 

Dræm Girl by No Vacation

After listening to R&B-type music for a while, I got back into indie, but this time the music was a little bit different and it's more on the indie/bedroom pop side of things. This was when I started figuring out the sound I wanted to do. i started playing major 7ths, major 9ths and other jazz chords. I also started getting more into indie by listening to artists like Men I Trust and Clairo and all of those indie artists. 

Rings by Pinegrove

I usually associated the use of major chords with pop music, but Pinegrove amazed me with their ability to create such an indie sound without using jazz chords. I didn't think it was possible before coming across more music like theirs. They've had such a huge influence on my music. They manage to create such a balance between all of the different sounds they explore and keep it feeling so indie. A big reason why I love Pinegrove, and really all indie music, regardless of how well it was mixed and mastered, is that it doesn’t have to be that way for it to be considered good. People like it not because of the quality of the recording, but because of the quality of the music itself.

The French Library by Franz Gordon

At this point in my life, I started getting back into Piano, and as a result, I got more into modern classical music. The French library is a dark piano theme and the reason why I fell in love with it is that the feeling it gives me is indescribable. as soon as I listen to it for the first time I fell in love in a way that I cannot explain. 

Colpevole by Nicola Arigliano

As I’m currently learning Italian, I wanted to indulge myself in the Italian language. A great way to do that is by immersion. I chose the method of listening to music and one of the Italian artists I stumbled across was Nicola. This song's production and quality are immaculate, but the thing that hooked me the most about this song in this artist, in particular, is how much he reminded me of an Italian Frank Sinatra. His voice’s smoothness feels like butter but what makes this song, in particular, great for learning Italian is how I can understand every single word he says.

Burning Hour by Jadu Heart

Now we go back to indie! The artist I collaborated with for my earlier songs, Yajin, was the one that introduced me to this band. A lot of their music inspired the way that he produces and makes music. When he asked me to collaborate on sanity, I immediately fell in love with the sound and vibe of the track, which was very inspired by Jadu Heart. Jadu Heart, and Yajin, are so incredibly talented.

Logiche by Altea & specchiopaura

As I mentioned before, I am still learning Italian. I found out about this artist by trying to find the same music that I listen to in English, but in Italian, I found Altea and her track Logiche. The energy and the vocals match the atmosphere and production so extremely well. Her music is so similar to that of Jadu Heart and this song is actually my favourite at the moment.

Top 6 Family-Friendly Places to Enjoy Sunsets in Dubai

Swimming is allowed in the beach waters until midnight, unlike most UAE beaches where it's usually prohibited Dubai is renowned for its stunning skyline and breathtaking sunsets, making it a perfect destination for families looking to create lasting memories. As the sun dips below the horizon, the sky transforms into a vibrant canvas of oranges, pinks, and purples, offering a magical backdrop for family gatherings. Whether you're enjoying a quiet evening or engaging in fun activities, Dubai has numerous family-friendly spots where you can soak in the beauty of the setting sun.

From scenic parks to waterfront promenades, there’s something for everyone in this vibrant city. Families can enjoy sunset picnics in lush green spaces or dine at restaurants with stunning views. These experiences not only allow you to appreciate Dubai's natural beauty but also provide quality time with loved ones. Join us as we explore the best family-friendly places to enjoy sunsets in Dubai, ensuring a delightful outing for all ages.

Here are some family-friendly places to enjoy sunsets in Dubai

 1. Burj Khalifa

The Burj Khalifa, which is 828 meters high, is regarded as the tallest free-standing structure in the world. Without seeing this tower, which is the center of Dubai, a trip there would not be complete. The 148th floor is well known for having the highest observation deck of the 163 floors, and the 124th floor features an outdoor observation deck. It is truly magical to watch the sunset from any of the observation decks. Additionally, while dining at the Burj Khalifa's highest lounge, which is located 585 meters above the ground on the 152nd, 153rd, and 154th floors, you can see the sunset over Dubai.

 2. Dubai Creek

The Dubai Creek, which is in the center of Dubai, provides visitors with a wide range of entertainment options. The location is well-known for its Abra rides, which are tiny watercraft that transport passengers across the water and are ideal for watching Dubai's sunsets. In addition to the abra rides, a cruise offers beautiful sightseeing. If boat rides aren't your thing, you can go eat at a restaurant on the rooftop by the creek. Both experiences are special and should not be missed!

3. The Beach at Kite

Kite Beach, which is a stretch of white, clean sand, is regarded as one of Dubai's cleanest beaches. With unhindered views, it's the perfect place to watch the sun set. Freshmen who wish to participate in the popular activity of kite surfing can do so as long as they take the appropriate safety measures. In the event that kite surfing is not your thing, you can relax and observe the pros as they rule the shores. Kite flying, volleyball, paddle boarding, jet skiing, jogging, and walking are some of the other beach activities available.

4. Lake Al Qudra

Al Qudra Lake is a group of artificial lakes where you can get away from the bustle of the city. Seeing wildlife such as steppe eagles and flamingos, as well as animals like oryx and desert foxes, brings you closer to the natural world. The location offers breathtaking views of the Dubai skyline, which is a visual feast. While strolling, you can stop by one of the food trucks for a bite to eat. It's a surreal sight to see the serene lake waters reflect the magnificent Dubai sunsets. You can also remain to camp or observe the stars.

5. The beach at Umm Suqeim

Umm Suqeim Beach, a public beach with turquoise waters, is well-known as Sunset Beach. With the Burj Al Arab as a picturesque backdrop, people come to this beach to take sunset photos. Swimming is allowed in the beach waters until midnight, a rare privilege on UAE beaches. Borrow books for free from the beach library and enjoy reading on beanbags or right on the sand.

6. Ain Dubai (Dubai Eye)

Have you ever pondered what it would be like to see the sunset from a height of 250 meters? Ain Dubai has the answer. The biggest and tallest observation wheel in the world provides breathtaking sunset views in addition to 360-degree views of the surroundings. Prepare for the ride of your life by boarding one of the 48 hit-tech cabins for a 48-minute ride. Shopping centers, eateries, and a souk (an Arab marketplace) surround this famous landmark on Bluewater's Island, just off the coast of Jumeirah Beach Residence.To see one of Dubai's most spectacular sunsets, schedule your visit for the evening.

Conclusion

Experience sunsets in Dubai with your family can be a truly unforgettable adventure. The city's diverse range of family-friendly locations offers something for everyone, from serene parks to lively waterfronts. As you gather to witness the captivating colours of the sky, these moments become cherished memories that strengthen family bonds and create shared experiences.

If you plan to extend your stay and explore more of what Dubai has to offer, consider applying for a 1 Month Dubai Visa. This visa allows you ample time to enjoy all the attractions and activities, including the stunning sunsets at various vantage points throughout the city. Embrace the beauty of Dubai, and take the opportunity to immerse yourself in the culture and warmth of its sunset moments with your loved ones.

Exploring Vapor: Your Ultimate Vaping Guide

Vaping has become a popular choice for those looking to enjoy flavors and nicotine satisfaction without the harshness of traditional smoking. For both new and experienced vapers, finding the right device, e-liquid, and accessories can be an exciting journey. This guide explores everything you need to know about vaping, helping you make informed choices whether you’re looking to Buy Al Fakher Online or explore other options.

Understanding the Basics of Vaping

Vaping involves inhaling vapor created by a device that heats a flavored liquid, known as e-liquid or vape juice. Unlike traditional cigarettes that burn tobacco, vaping devices only heat the liquid, which reduces exposure to harmful chemicals. Most e-liquids contain a mix of propylene glycol, vegetable glycerin, flavorings, and varying levels of nicotine.

Types of Vaping Devices

Vaping devices come in several types, each designed for specific preferences:

Disposable Vapes: Great for beginners, disposable vapes come pre-filled and are discarded once the liquid runs out. They are convenient, easy to use, and often require no maintenance.

Pod Systems:

These are small, portable devices that use pre-filled or refillable pods instead of traditional tanks. They’re ideal for on-the-go vaping and offer a satisfying experience without requiring too much technical knowledge.

Mods and Box Mods: Advanced users might prefer box mods, which offer greater control over power, vapor production, and other settings. These are typically used with refillable tanks and offer customizability for experienced vapers.

Closed Pod Systems:

Closed pod systems, like the Al Fakher closed pod system, offer a more controlled experience as they use pre-filled pods that are easy to switch out. They’re popular for their simplicity and ease of use.

At Vapor Station UAE, we offer a variety of these devices to cater to different preferences and skill levels.

Choosing the Right E-Liquid

When it comes to e-liquids, flavor and nicotine strength are two main considerations. E-liquids are available in countless flavors, from classic tobacco and menthol to sweet and fruity blends. Additionally, users can choose the nicotine strength that suits them, ranging from high to zero nicotine options.

For those looking for an authentic shisha experience,Al Fakher is a standout brand. Al Fakher's e-liquids are known for their rich, shisha-inspired flavors, making them perfect for anyone who enjoys traditional Arabic shisha. You can easily buy Al Fakher online at Vapor Station UAE, where we offer a variety of their top flavors.

Vaping Etiquette: What You Need to Know

As vaping becomes more common, it’s essential to follow certain etiquette guidelines to ensure a positive experience for yourself and those around you:

Vape in Designated Areas: Many places have specific areas for smoking and vaping. Be mindful of where you’re allowed to vape to avoid discomfort to others.

Avoid Cloud Chasing Indoors: While producing large clouds can be fun, it can also be disruptive indoors. If you’re in a public or indoor setting, opt for discreet devices or use lower power settings to keep clouds minimal.

Respect Others’ Personal Space: If you’re vaping around others, especially those who don’t vape, make sure to keep some distance. Tips for Maintaining Your Vaping Device

To get the most out of your device, regular maintenance is essential:

Clean Your Device Regularly:

Residue from e-liquids can build up over time, especially around the mouthpiece and tank. A quick wipe-down will ensure your device stays clean.

Store Properly: Keep your device upright and in a safe place when not in use. This will prevent leaks and damage.

Check Your Battery:

Regularly inspect your device’s battery and ensure it’s properly charged. Avoid overcharging to preserve battery life.

Use Quality E-Liquids:

Cheap, low-quality e-liquids can harm your device and affect the vaping experience. At Vapor Station UAE, we ensure our customers have access to the best, including trusted brands like Al Fakher.

Exploring Flavor Options: More Than Just Al Fakher

While Al Fakher is a popular choice for those seeking a shisha-inspired experience, there are countless other flavors and brands available for vapers who want to explore different tastes. From refreshing menthol to rich dessert flavors, Vapor Station UAE has options to suit every palate. We encourage our customers to experiment and find what works best for them.

Is Vaping Right for You?

Whether you’re looking to quit smoking or simply enjoy the flavors, vaping offers a less harmful alternative to traditional cigarettes. However, it’s important to be mindful of your nicotine intake and choose products that suit your lifestyle and preferences. If you’re looking for shisha-inspired flavors, Al Fakher provides a familiar and satisfying experience that captures the essence of traditional shisha.

7 Best Things to Do in Dubai Mall

Dubai is a city that does not do anything half-hearted. This is also the reason why the city is home to some of the highest world records, including the tallest building, the largest manmade island, the tallest hotel, and more. Dubai Mall is one such iconic landmark of the city. With an area of 12 million square feet, Dubai Mall is the largest mall in the UAE and the second largest in the world. If you are in Dubai, a visit to Dubai Mall is something you should not miss, even if you do not want to do any shopping. Here are the 7 best things to do in Dubai Mall.

Visit the Dubai Aquarium & Underwater Zoo

The large acrylic aquarium tunnel is the highlight of the place, as it houses more than 140 species of marine animals, including different types of sharks. With the Dubai Mall aquarium tickets, you can also visit the underwater zoo that has some of the most interesting beings like penguins, otters, king croc, snakes, etc. The Dubai Aquarium also offers amazing experiences like shark feeding, snorkeling, scuba diving, and more.

Go Ice Skating

It may seem far-fetched to go ice skating in the desert city of Dubai. But you can do it at Dubai Mall’s Dubai Ice Rink, one of the most popular Dubai Mall attractions. The Olympic-sized ice rink is where you can practice your ice-skating skills or even learn it. It is also a great place to escape the scorching heat of the city and enjoy the cool environment. Plus, the fact that Dubai Ice Rink has a snowfall feature makes it even more magical. A few other attractions of the place are the foam parties and disco nights that happen here regularly.

Watch the Dubai Fountain Show

Right outside the Dubai Mall is the largest manmade lake in the world, the Burj Lake. The star attraction of the Burj Lake is the 900-feet long Dubai Fountain, consisting of five circles and two arcs. During the fountain show, which happens every evening from 6 to 11 (in intervals of 30 minutes), the fountain dances to the tunes of different types of music, including world classics and traditional Arabic ones. It is mesmerizing to watch 22,000 gallons of water reaching amazing heights, the thousands of lights adding to the magic.

Take Your Kids to KidZania Dubai

If you are looking for things to do in Dubai with kids, visiting KidZania Dubai should be at the top of your list.

They can work in the fields of health, education, entertainment, food and beverages, media, and retail. The most exciting part is that kids can earn money too in KidZos, which is KidZania currency.

Indulge in Retail Therapy

Of course, the most obvious thing to do at a mall is shopping, and Dubai Mall is a shopper’s paradise. The mall is home to more than 1200 stores selling everything from clothes to electronics. Apart from this, the mall also has a Fashion Avenue for those who want to indulge in luxurious shopping. While there are more than 70 stores of signature brands here, the two most prestigious ones are Galeries Lafayette and Bloomingdale’s. Dubai Mall offers massive discounts to shoppers during the Dubai Shopping Festival.

Escape reality at Play DXB

Play DXB is an indoor virtual reality zone, the largest in the world. This indoor theme park has over 30 immersive rides, games, and attractions for people of all ages. The best part is that you will get to enjoy VR (virtual reality) and AR (augmented reality) games and rides here. Dune Bash, Dubai Drone, Burj Drop, VR Balloon, Plummet, The Mummy, and John Wick Chronicles are some of the attractions here. The place also has an inflatable playground, trampolines, and carousel rides for the young ones.

Admire the Art at Infinity des Lumieres

Dubai Mall is not just a place for shopping and having fun. In fact, it also has space for art and culture. The mall is home to Infinity des Lumieres, an art center with a difference. Here you will get to see some of the most iconic and contemporary pieces of art in the digital format. The art center uses 58 speakers, 130 projectors, and more than 3000 HD digital moving images to showcase the works of artists like Hokusai, Van Gogh, Thomas Vanz, Kandinsky, Antoni Gaudi, and more.

What Safety Precautions Should You Consider When Renting Watersports Equipment in Dubai?

Dubai is a hub for adventure enthusiasts, offering a myriad of thrilling watersports activities against the backdrop of stunning coastlines and crystal-clear waters. From parasailing in Dubai to exhilarating banana boat rides, the city's diverse water places in Dubai present unique fun-filled experiences. However, while the excitement of renting watersports equipment can be overwhelming, prioritizing safety is essential. This blog explores crucial safety precautions to consider when renting watersports equipment in Dubai.

1. Choose Reputable Watersports Rental Companies

The first step toward ensuring a safe and enjoyable experience is selecting a reputable watersports rental provider. Research different companies offering watersports rental Dubai. Look for established businesses with positive reviews and solid safety records. Check if the company has all the necessary licenses and certifications to operate in UAE waters. Don't hesitate to ask questions about their safety protocols and equipment maintenance practices.

2. Verify Equipment Quality and Condition

When renting watersports equipment, it's vital to inspect the gear thoroughly. Whether you're hiring jet skis, paddleboards, or diving equipment, be sure everything is in good shape. Look for evidence of wear and tear, such as frayed ropes, torn life jackets, or faulty equipment. The rental company should provide well-maintained gear that meets safety standards. Never accept poorly cared for equipment, as it increases the risks during your adventure.

3. Understand Safety Guidelines and Instructions

Before participating in any water sports activity, review the rental company's safety requirements. They will typically offer a briefing about how to operate the equipment, general safety rules, and emergency procedures. Pay close attention to these instructions, especially if you're participating in activities like parasailing in Dubai or riding a banana boat. Understanding how to use the equipment properly is crucial for preventing accidents.

4. Always Wear Safety Gear

Regardless of the watersport you're participating in, wearing appropriate safety gear is non-negotiable. For activities such as parasailing or riding a banana boat, life jackets are essential. Ensure the life jackets fit correctly and are appropriate for your weight and size. For jet skiing or wakeboarding, other protective gear such as helmets may also be required. The right safety equipment significantly reduces the risk of injury in case of accidents.

5. Assess Weather Conditions

Dubai's weather can be unpredictable, particularly during peak summer. Before renting any equipment, check the weather conditions and sea state. Strong winds, high waves, or poor visibility can make water sport activities dangerous. Rental companies often have policies regarding weather-related cancellations. Listen to their advice regarding suitable conditions for the activity you're planning to enjoy.

6. Go with a Buddy

When renting watersports equipment, whether it's a jet ski or a paddleboard, it's always safer to go with a buddy. Having someone with you can aid in the event of an emergency or if you run into any complications while out on the lake. Furthermore, shared experiences are more pleasurable. Inform someone onshore about your plans so they know your whereabouts.

7. Follow Local Maritime Regulations

Dubai is well-regulated in terms of marine rules and regulations. Familiarize yourself with these guidelines to guarantee a pleasant and lawful encounter. Stay in authorized locations, follow speed restrictions, and keep a safe distance from swimmers and other boats. Understanding local waterways can help you avoid mishaps and comply with the law.

8. Stay Hydrated and Protect Yourself from the Sun

While focusing on equipment safety, don't forget about your well-being. The UAE sun may be quite scorching, especially during the summer months. Drink lots of water to keep hydrated, and use sunscreen to protect your skin from damaging UV rays. Consider wearing protective clothing or a hat for added defense against the sun. Hydration and sun protection are crucial elements that can influence your overall safety and comfort during your water sport activities.

9. Plan Your Activity Duration

Some watersport activities may seem straightforward, but it's essential to plan how long you'll be out on the water. Overexertion can lead to fatigue, increasing the likelihood of accidents. For instance, while parasailing in Dubai offers breathtaking views, ensuring you are well-rested before and after is crucial. Respect your limits; if you feel too tired, it's better to take a break than push through and risk injury.

10. Know Emergency Protocols

Before heading out onto the water, inquire about emergency protocols with your rental company. Know the location of the nearest medical facilities and understand how to contact emergency services in Dubai. Most reputable companies will have a safety plan in place, including procedures to follow in case of equipment failure, and should have first aid kits readily available. Familiarize yourself with these protocols to navigate potential emergencies effectively.

Renting water sports equipment in Dubai opens the door to exhilarating adventures in stunning locations. Whether you're parasailing, enjoying a thrilling banana boat ride Dubai, or exploring the coast on a jet ski, your safety should always come first. You may assure a safe and enjoyable trip by renting from reliable providers, knowing the equipment, following safety standards, and staying alert of your surroundings.

When planning your next venture into Dubai's beautiful waters, remember these safety precautions. Dive into the rich offerings of watersports rental in Dubai with confidence, harnessing the thrill of adventure while keeping safety at the forefront. Whether it's the allure of thrilling banana boat rides or the breathtaking heights of parasailing, your safety is paramount to enjoying everything Dubai has to offer in its pristine waters.

Some observations on #Telegram's new policy of law enforcement cooperation:

There was a long period when dissidents & others fearing dictators from Russia & Belarus to the Middle East gravitated towards Telegram because of the (misleading) marketing about encryption and the perception that the company wouldn't cooperate with authorities.

After CEO Durov's detention, it's now clear to the general public:

-how much access Telegram has always had user content (most services were never actually end-to-end encrypted)

-That Telegram has now adopted an explicit policy of cooperation with authorities. And a lot of those high risk communities are rightly looking on this change with fear and concern.

Because in a lot of places, dissent, even making fun of the government, is criminalized.

Many dissidents are left asking "is this a safe platform for me anymore?"

People are rightly going to ask: can Telegram be trusted resist demands from Russia? How about Saudi Arabia or the UAE?

Now, Telegram's policy change sounds a lot like what other social networks do. Including the promise of legal review. And the promise to do a transparency report (something they've been asked to do for years by civil society).

But the devil is in the implementation and we may not know for a while how they actually handle the "legal analysis" they promise.

So right now the message a lot of dissidents will take away from the recent changes is: Telegram told us they would never cooperate with governments. Then they got some pressure, and they did a 180.

I'll note that there are some possible caveats around some criminal things needing to be also ToS violations (we'll see what this means in practice & wether they will stick to it).
