When Tim Hortons does open in Abu Dhabi I would very much like to write about it; informing other nationalities of the tremendous significance of the outlet being just one aim of such a piece. And so it was last week that, not wanting to wade my way through what I felt could be an arduous and potentially fruitless phone call, if my time in the business of finding things out in Abu Dhabi over the past three years is any indication, I sent the management an email instead. And from the response, I am starting to appreciate what might be holding things up.

Hi there,
We were wondering when Tim Hortons is opening - we'd love to do a piece on how much it means to Canadians and will (hopefully) mean to other nationalities.
Best,
Ann Marie McQueen

Omg. I just had an lol moment... and not just any lol moment; it was an all out belly laugh that caused all in the vicinity to look up at me while I wiped my eyes!
You are awesome!
Even if this Tim Hortons is only half as good as all you lovely Canadians would have us believe, it is going to be very good indeed. If it ever opens.
I have now found out why there is such a delay with the Abu Dhabi 'branch'.
Thats right, 'branch'. As in, there's another location being built right now in ... Dubai..
