Relaxing with Starbucks

Last night we decided to venture out - not really a good idea to be out at night in the Ramadan Traffic, but we went anyway.


Here we are sitting in Villagio - local shopping mall with our Starbucks fix - well my fix - Nick does not seem to crave it like me.



There was also a game of ice hockey going on - it was quite amazing to watch.
The home team was losing.

The rink is also inside the shopping mall


Once we were done we then had to make our way home in the traffic - OMG it was totally mad. So much traffic and they will do anything just to get ahead - the roads at night are not a safe place to be during Ramadan, everyone must be out. As the shops open at 1930 and close at 2400 during the month of Ramadan.

Camel Burgers Anyone!!

Last night on the way home in the MAD Ramadan traffic we spotted this truck loaded with camels.
They were most probably off to be made into something to be sold in the supermarket - mind you we have not yet seen camel meat for sale.
Maybe its exported!
