Great Souvenir!!!

So I was in a bookshop and look what I found on a shelf of Dubai souvenirs... whisky containers... and they had pictures of camels and DUBAI engraved on the front. I didn't know that shops were selling these kind of souvenirs too!! Dubai is a modern and tolerant city but end of the day, it is an emirate of a muslim country. Is this right? Does the government know of this?!!

International Stink!

International City in Dubai (behind Dragonmart) is a very peaceful place to live. Reasonably priced apartments and lots of parking space all around the area. However, there's only one thing that spoils the whole image. It is also perhaps something that people didn't know before they bought or leased the apartments. It is located right next to a huge sewage treatment plant. It literally smells like shit! Every second day, sometimes late evening or sometimes late at night, the whole area starts to stink of shit. The stinky cloud spreads all the way to the highway towards Hatta/Oman. It's so horrible it isn't even funny! There's no way you can escape it! It comes through the balcony, the windows, the exhaust, the air conditioner... It really makes one wonder what the hell were the people at Nakheel thinking when they developed this area!!
