Some Random Photos


(1)  Still not sure how I feel about the girls' insistence that the ubiquitous bidets here are actually "children's sinks."  Hey, if it's got 'em brushing their teeth...

(2)  A sign at the checkout aisles of our local all-purpose store, Carrefour: "Priority for ladies."  At least there are some perks to being a chick around here.

(3) -(4) The clubhouse pool and scenery in our gated community, The Lakes.  Winter in Dubai looks like vacation, no?

(5)  A roadside billboard honoring Sheikh Mohammed, the boss guy of Dubai, and some other important cats. (BTW, his full title is: "His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoun, Prime Minister and Vice President of the United Arab Emirates, and the Ruler of Dubai."  Picture *that* on a business card.)  The Sheikh's face is everywhere and pops up in some unnerving places, like on the sides of skyscrapers.  Big brother is watching...

LOVE the bidet picture. Priceless. And really, why not?
