It used to, but now you get stuck on dual-carriageways and on monster interchanges where you can <I>see</I> the place you want to reach but the roads take you off in other directions!Seabeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06939892206726271433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-41814100884865853432007-08-10T20:12:00.000+04:002007-08-10T20:12:00.000+04:00I read this post first ages ago, when you had firs...I read this post first ages ago, when you had first written it.<BR/><BR/>Needless to say, I never returned to LULU hypermarket.<BR/><BR/>And surprisingly, after what you wrote about how difficult it was to reach the place without any signboards, haven't you as yet gotten used to the fact any signboards mislead, and the lack of them should be helpful?<BR/><BR/>It helps, being in the desert, to have a good sense of direction. Reading your post inspired me to head towards those horrible neon-green lights signalling the arrival of LULU hypermarket. And guess what, I got there first time around.<BR/><BR/>And guess what, I won't be going back again any time soon (puke)i*maginatehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11768590735811322295noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-30698868504575057232007-07-01T20:30:00.000+04:002007-07-01T20:30:00.000+04:00Yupp, the positioning of the Barsha gate means tha...Yupp, the positioning of the Barsha gate means that (if I were staying, and if I used SZR) I would have to pay twice in the morning and twice in the afternoon for taking my wife to work in Umm Sequim. I actually had to take her in this morning - July 1st - and used Al Sufouh Road. A total SNAFU, as expected.Keefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04820411415545249138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21258644.post-71637527363895335502007-07-01T11:10:00.000+04:002007-07-01T11:10:00.000+04:00good info...thanxliving is dubai is all about to a...good info...thanx<BR/>living is dubai is all about to aware of these scams.faiqhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16180022457449809132noreply@blogger.com
