New Diggs

So I finally got out of the Lotus to a new place near the Dubai Creek. Its a lot nicer location. The old Hotel Apartment was really nice in terms of the apartment being very big, nice and clean. But the location was totally horrible. Yes, it was close to work. A 5 minute drive.. if you had a car. Since I don't have a car and had to wait for hours for taxi's, it didn't matter to me whether I was a 5 minute drive from work or a 20 min drive from work. The good thing about the new place is the view..

Thats Al-Makhtoum bridge right outside the apartment and you can see the 'downtown' skyline in the distance, including the Burj Dubai (now the tallest structure in the world). I'm still waiting for a clear night so I can get good pictures of the view.. but being that summer is 3/4th of the way here, it's going to have to be a long wait for a clear night I think.

Another good thing about the new place is the location. I am close to Deira City Center mall, a 5 min walk.. so if I wanted to see a movie, I can just walk to the mall and see it and will NOT have to wait for 45mins in the taxi line to come back home.. ahh.. that is great!
