one of the many, many accidents in the UAE

right below my apartment. please observe the general direction of traffic as opposed to the direction of the passenger car…

also ich würde mich momentan ja wahnsinnig über ein wenig deutsche prozess- und briefingtreue freuen... diese araber werden nur noch von den anderen expats hier übertroffen, die noch erratischer durch die gegend springen. jetzt mal schnell ein schnellfeuergewehr zur hand und nachher ganz unschuldig back to my loving place...

here it comes: the inevitable gonu entry

to say it up front: the only effect of the cyclone here in abu dhabi has been a little more wind and a slightly cooling to below 40C for a day or two. so actually quite pleasant. (now it's back up to the usual 44C.) but as you might know, we're sharing an office with a consultancy. and they in return have an office in oman. and that's what it looked like over there…
