abu dhabi .. i love this city IV

February 13, 2008 · 8 Comments

i started this serious [abu dhabi .. i love this city] because i wasn’t really sure that i will stay for long time here in abu dhabi, so i was trying to share with you the positive things in abu dhabi before i leave it .. but since i am really sure now that i will stuck here for a while :-) so this will be the last of this series.
and i will end it with these flowers:

and with some lovely words:
” I love Abu Dhabi for many reasons.. For the very reason of me being born & bred here.. For the very reason of its peaceful salty waters.. Tranquil life.. Easy going pace.. Security.. But one of the things that ruin this loveliness, is RACISM :( There’s a huge difference between an emirati & an expatriate over here.. And the more I live the more I see it.. The more I get affected by it.. It’s sad to witness this in a muslim country.. Really sad..

I love this place.. I love its courniche.. I love flying kites in its sky.. I love riding the bike on its smooth land.. I love driving the car so fast (but not getting caught by its radars ;) ) in it’s khalidya & corniche.. I love how I could get to swim in a ladies whole beach (and also swimming pools).. I love how I could ride a horse with a female trainer.. I love how cleanliness is a part of its identity.. I love the diversity here.. I love how I can walk & hear over five different languages being spoken.. I love how when I teach, there are more than ten different nationalities sitting in front of me.. I love how the flowers are growing everywhere.. I love it when car drivers here wait for a lady to cross & while doing that, they lower their car’s front lights, so that her whole body won’t be on display.. I love how the buildings have good maintenance programs..

I could go on forever..”
