Moving back to Dubai after 22 years has been an experience! Back then we didn't have the internet or blogs. Now we do I can jot down my thoughts on daily life, things we come up against, things we enjoy, the multi-national society, the laws, the weather...plus other things in general which catch my attention.
About Me
- Seabee
- We lived in Dubai from 1977 to 1984, visited on a couple of holidays, then moved back again in 2005. We came because we wanted to watch the incredible development as it happened and we moved back to Oz in 2011. I now blog on Life in Oz and the link is on my last post here. I welcome comments & debate on the blog, but insults are unnecessary and inappropriate. I will delete any which are libel, racist, obscene, advertising or which are simply to make a point but are completely off-subject. If you want to do that, create your own blog. Oh, and I've decided to add a new category to the delete list because there are too many of them left on blogs - stupid comments. If you want to use my photos or quote from my posts you may do so - but only if you credit the source and give a link back to my original post.

ROFLMAO.
The first though that came to my mind was "Photoshop!"
No, Billy, absolutely not, I swear it's unretouched. I just stopped the car and took the pic, uploaded it and this is it.
It's just an extension, I suppose, of all the colourful camels, horses and falcons that are dotted around the city, but a bit more creative than just standing one in front of a bank.
Haha - this is very close to where we live - 2 streets away. My kids love these cows!
I wonder if they're Kiwis - the cows were all over Auckland a few years ago before being auctioned off for charity.
Or they could be an Indian family - sacred cows and all that!
Ok - Cow Parade has a worldwide life of its own!
The cows were all over Sharjah mega mall a couple of years ago. I'd wondered where they went.
These statues / art installations don't come cheap. A few years ago, all of Dubai saw the painted camels and falcons. My company was offered to purchase one of the camels... for a whopping price of 28,000 Dirhams...
Some of the camels can still be seen around town. For example: a camel covered in small mosaic mirror tiles is standing outside the Emirates Towers Hotel. I think they're lovely!
im probably just slow today...but i think they're cute...not at all funny...hmmm...
ahirunopekkles, I agree it's cute, I was referring to the sense of humour of the people who set the scene up.
