Beirut in Dubai

It was insanely foggy here this morning. The fog was so dense that I couldn't see a single construction crane which is impossible here.

On the way to work we drove in the back way and there are a lot of unfinished buildings on the way.. Through the fog everything looked kind of bombed out. It was like we took a wrong turn and ended up Beirut. Very creepy.

Dubai has this weird habit of naming their subdivisions according to a theme. We work in Dubai Media City. The finance building is in Dubai Internet City. There is a Sports City being built. There is a Knowledge Village, Irish Village, Century Village. It's all very weird and theme parky. Anyhow - tonight Lindy and Cheryl otherwise known as those Wacky Jews (in Dubai - weird huh?) are making a new map of Dubai and adding the cities that should be here. Apathetic City, Underwear City and I'm sure a host of others. I'm looking forward to the unveiling tomorrow morning.

Never a dull moment here in the Land of Sand.

Now off to Dubai Bed City
