One of the things that does my head in (to paraphrase my British friends) about living here is the absolute paucity of gas stations. Seriously, how can one of the world's leading oil producers have so few gas stations? Granted, they're a lot nicer than the ones in the US. They're much cleaner, feature better food and are all full-service, but there are simply not enough of them. To be fair, out here in the area of the campus and out towards Yas Island we're in a fairly new and developing area so maybe ADNOC will respond to the need and build more. Still, the queue this morning was so long that I finished listening to all of Elgar's Cello Concerto while waiting. The guys who work the station are actually very hard-working and efficient, so it was mainly the result of the crush of cars.
