Abu Dhabi ( The Journey & Interesting Stuff)

I started my jounry from Mirdif Dubai around 9am and stopover in this petrol station in Jebel Ali to fill my tank. My Yaris is quite savvy, AED50 allowed me to travel about 550km.

As usual, Petrol Kiosk here got place to eat and shop. Usually there are places like McDonald, SubWay & other fast food chains.

Abu Dhabi is about 130km away from Dubai. It takes me about 1hour 20min to reach this Marina Mall. I drive to the speed between 60km to 150km/hr and hope dont get any Saman.. :P. My last parking ticket cost me AED 190. :(

I started my investigation of the mall here.. I found that they put 3 colorful donuts into the toilet bowl!!!

Wanna see what is underneath those NINJAs????

But there are also stuff like Hello Kitty Shop!!

This water fountain is one of the weirdest.... I ever seen!!!

This picture is taken from my fren apartment in Abu Dhabi. Abu Dhabi in Arab means "Father of Gazalle" is the capital of UAE not Dubai!!

Tourist might wonder why there are so many Ah Cha and tan&tan standing, sitting or sleeping on the roadside, greens or any free spaces. It's because most of them live in labour camp, where usually there are 6 person in a 10 x 20feet room. Not only they sleep there, they cook there as well and their food is stored there as well! so it better for them to come out in the open space to rest than staying in their room..
