Victorian London - or Post-Modern Yas Island


I suppose this picture should really be paired with the ones right below in the Sandstorm posting. Here is the same view outside my window at the Staybridge, except this one features the claustrophobic fog that hung over Abu Dhabi this morning. Surprisingly, I made it to work with no trouble today. My fear was that the other Abu Dhabi drivers, who drive like lunatics on the best of days, would react to the dense fog by driving even faster. The other day I saw a driver in a huge 4x4 drive up on the sidewalk so that he could get past one driver and make a right turn on red, which you can't do here anyway. Luckily everyone was on their best behavior and there were no problems.
