Me too, love this place
Don't know how you lot are able to post so much though, I struggle just to keep up with the reading.
News from the land of traffic chaos (Dubai): In the first 58 days of this year there where 51 deaths in road accidents. Scares you!!! The three days we had with wet weather saw an average of 600 accidents a day.
There is a great story in todays paper about a UK driving instructor who has gone undercover in the driving scools over here, it would make for a great tv show, and is really funny, if it wasn't so bloody dangerous and every day life here. linky If you have a look then take a look at video as well. It's on the right side of the page with the traffic cones and is called Jumeirah Beach Road video. It's taking in a 40km zone, because of the road works, but that obviously doesn't matter, and what's a poxy speedbump on the road....
Oooh yeah and the rain, all 14 millimeters of it flooded houses streets and new mega shoppingmalls. The expensive communities where completely underwater and water leaking in everywhere in the villas. People couldn't get out for half the day, there was so much water in the streets!
And I've started taking skiing lessons woohooo love it!
