Driving around Dubai, or floating above it

[chu_hi]

I took these pictures in the last two days while driving around Dubai running errands. Then the stunning sights at the bottom greeted me when I came back from a Karachi turnaround in the afternoon.

Check out this month's National Geographic! I dunno, I think it's normal life most of the time. But I like it. =)

Miss you, too. Wish I could have been in the O.C. for the year change (or that you were here).

Nice pics!

Thank you!

I'd tell you the pictures were great, but you already know.

Hey, you were supposed to call me! When will you get back from London?

Eeek! I either didn't get that message, or was in another world when it was given to me. :/ I got home about two hours ago and am So TIRED! I'll get a nap in and give you a call.

Incidentally, I invited everyone we knew, and they all have plans! We might have to orchestrate a venue change... we'll see what happens. =)

We should have you, antivert, istara, mcgillianaire and his sister, and yours truly for karaoke fun. When you call up, we can discuss how to take things from there, whether (and how) to get more people, alternative venues, etc.

You're a very, very hard person to reach. istara is sick and won't be making it, but give me a call ASAP about when we can meet. I left my temporary mobile number on your answering machine (2nd message I left, 1st one is wrong).

I've been to Perth a few times, but never ventured beyond the neighborhood where we stay (Adelaide Terrace). My impression is that it's lovely - friendly people, gorgeous weather. Typical for that island!
