And yes, that is a pyramid and sphinx in the last picture. My friend Anna and I went there and had Italian. I guess, after all, that it is hot here, and there's sand. You can understand some architect getting a wee bit confused about the location of Dubai.
Now, contrary to what people believe, there is some green in Dubai and I found it all. This is where I'm staying at the mo, the place with random Internet access and FANTASTIC (not) cultural music. I think I'm over Indian songs, "Thanks Mr Next Door Neighbour"!! The first photo is the Training Residence and the others are part of the village next door.
I'm being lulled into a false reality. Cause there's very little green at the villa. We need to get planter pots to put outside. I know you're all dying to see the photos and I'm moving out there tomorrow night so you'll soon get your wish.
Went to a mall last night and I so wish I'd taken my camera! Found a "Learn to speak Maori" CD kit. Funnily, the girl on the "Learn to speak Mexican" looked rather similar. But they had tried to distinguish the same photo by putting a Maori headband on the girl. She actually looked a little Russian but I couldn't see that CD to find out :)
Anyway, must go now, one because the Internet could crash again at any time, and two, because my YUMMY dinner of salted cummin crackers awaits (they were free in the room): "It's alright Dad, I AM looking after myself".
