Views on my drive back home

This is one of the many Dubai Expressways, the Sheikh Zayed Road.

The sign shows the exit. The orange sign is new. It indicates the new road toll system, Salik. Every one has to pay 4 dhm each time one passes the gantry. It operates 24 hours a day, every day.

The building on the right is the famous 6 star hotel, Burj Al Arab. The buildings on the left is Souk Madinat Jumeirah. Souk means market. There are Gold Souk, Textile Souk and Spice Souk in Dubai.

This is route D94, or Al Sufouh Road. I take this road because I am a cheapo. This is an alternate route parallel to Sheikh Zayed Road. I take the last free exit on Sheikh Zayed Road and take this to go back home.

By the way, look at the trees and grass in the above picutre. They are very costly to maintain as they are irrigated using automatic, desalinated water.

The building I am staying in is the one with a funny roof.

Hatta Heritage Museum


It is an hour drive from Dubai city centre. The stuff are all real stuff. VINTAGE. ANTIQUE.

Meet Xian


She is the cutest little thing ever. A very sweet and lovely girl. Her dad is Irish, her mom is half Irish half Malaysian. And that makes her 3/4 Irish and 1/4 Malaysian.

I nearly grab her home with me today. She is just so adorable.
