Here’s some miscellaneous signs gathered recently.
I’ve fallen and I don’t think I’ll be able to get up.
This speaks for itself. I’m childish, I know.
DaddyBird insisted we take a picture of My Car Auto Rental. The pedestrian who saw us pull over, roll down the window, take a picture and then drive away undoubtedly thought we were crazy.

I don’t know how widely this film will be distributed, but if you get the chance to see it, DO! It was made here in Dubai, about life in Dubai. It is a really well made film. It shows (quite honestly) some of the typical stories of people in Dubai.

It is well into the nineties Fahrenheit here these days. The crushing humidity hasn’t set in, yet. That will come in June and stay through September. I suspect that I am getting acclimated, however, because it doesn’t seem that hot to me. I used to melt in ninety degree weather.

I couldn’t pass up taking a picture of the Bride of Nomadism Furniture store, where you can get furniture with definite panache.
Shark Meat Trading where, apparently, you can get everything other than shark meat.
We’ve discovered a new favorite restaurant, like we needed one. And, as you can see, it has the added benefit of creative food presentation. Aji is one of the more delicious fish on the face of the earth and now we know he is handsome, as well.
In addition to the 20 something year olds we hang out with saying that they wish their parents were like us, our friend Nas just tweeted:
So, dear parents, you may have wondered if we would ever amount to anything, but apparently we are setting some kind of standard.
(For the non-computer geeks among you – FTW means “for the win” an exclamation that means its a good thing.)
