This is part of the view from my corner office at the 9th floor in the Concorde building. To the left you see the twin towers of the Marriot hotel, straight ahead the Dubai Creek Golf & Yacht Club. With this camera it looks really far away but in the real world I can see it very well.

No, I'm still in Dubai. This is a building on my way to the office that's being demolished.

Lena is queueing for the free health check at Deira City Centre. They were checking the waist size, blood glucose and blood pressure.
It seems like friday evenings is not a good time to go shopping at Deira City Centre. It took us almost one hour to just get out of the parking garage! Ok, I had parked at the 4'th floor. But one hour is insane!
This is the pork section in Pick & Save on Maktoum Street.
