So spending the afternoon walking aroumd on Abu Dhabi At this time of year really required mall air conditioning. From what the taxi driver said, even the round-the-clock construction work crews break between midday and 3pm for the heat. So in the new Centrepoint mall at Marina Village, not only are there approximately 40 watch stores, but you can also browse a Emirates Motor Company show floor. All Mercedes dissappointingly (where are the ferraris?) but keen keen prices. If I travel internationally each year I may avoid ever buying a new car out of resentment for Australian price structures. Current model C63 AMG Coupe going for about $105k Australian.

Very Hot.  We often encountered the faint smell of of burnt spices or incense.  All the buildings are new, towering piles of glass and steel and concrete only shades darker than the sky.  The pale dusty sand almost blends with the heat haze and the grey palm trees in the bright light.

The opulent, cool modern interiors seem a world away from the blanketing humidity outside.
