Great to hear from Liz yesterday, huh? It's funny, after five months of pestering her to write something here, I finally gave up. Now she writes something.
Huh.
Anyway, with a whole day off you'd think that today I'd have some great insights or a really amusing story for you here.
Nope.
What I do have is marginally interesting. Here's a photo of Dubai that one of my vendors at my last job sent me last January. Not sure when it was taken, but probably mid-2005.
I've dropped an arrow in to show you were we live. You can see the beach is pretty close, as is the Palm Jumeirah.
Up the coast a bit you see the sail-shaped Burj al-Arab hotel, and in the distance you can barely see the World Islands.
The big lake-looking inlet is the Dubai Marina, which is now much more built up. Oh, and that's Sheikh Zayed Road cutting diagonally across the frame, too. The frontage on the road is much more built up, now.
Lastly, here's the link to that Future Map of Dubai I found a few months ago, too, in case you're interested.
