It looked like another construction site fire to me.

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.

Hey Seabee, my first look at your posts after some 2 weeks R & R in Thailand and I see nothing much has changed in the UAE...... traffic, fires, red tape.... what am I doing here??
Welcome back Dave. How was the Thai traffic - last time I was there it was worse than Dubai's.
Seabee, BKK traffic still an absolute nightmare - took the skytrain at every opportunity.
But somehow I felt there was still more respect on the roads for other motorists despite the massive volume of vehicles.
Once outside of BKK no problems whatsoever.... except for local farmers, straying livestock, bicycles, motor bikes with 4 passengers etc .... you know how it is....
