On my way to work...

1.The Mina Seyahi Beach Resort and Marina
2. The day after the deluge ...

1. Images of women on billboards are a sure sign of a modernized Dubai
2. Cross the curb, why don't you..

1. I need to get to the other side.
2. this is more like a 8 ways crossing than a 4

1. cross #1
2. cross #2

1. look at the sign panel... cool, hugh?
2. The drainage system may be inadequate but the watering system is quite sophisticated.

1. cross # 4 . OK . I've made it to the othe side! (1/2 circle)
2. Can't wait to see this fountain in action!

1. But for now, it's home to a forgotten hard hat
2. Even the trees are new; they have yet to develop some leaves.

1. I can't wait to see them fully grown
2. The little beige villas are in sight.

1. Lets turn around and see ...my apartment building
2. and the Mina Seyahi in the far distance. We're not too that far from the beach, as you can see.

1. At the corner to the villas, here are some (exotic) road signs again
2. Here is some refreshing green in this sandy landscape

And, turning the corner, here are the villas
