Hey guys I am in Dubai!

This is just a pretty standard mosque in Dubai, but I like that the picture has the street signs in it. I was surprised by how easy it was to memorize the Eastern-Arabic numerals, but I guess there are only ten of them and three of them are very similar to the ones I'm familiar with. So.
Obligatory (albeit not great) pictures of myself.

This was in Abu Dhabi. I don't remember the name of the building (I'll ask my uncle tomorow), but I guess it was a palace built for a sheikh who then got bored with it, so they turned it into a hotel.

And then this is me in Dubai, making a silly gesture that ended up a little odd when I had to wait for the picture to be taken.
I am ridiculously happy with these two photos. They were both total flukes, but they're awesome.

This one is in Dubai Creek, and the ferryman's taking my Dirham. The image wasn't staged or anything, so I think it was pretty good considering.

And then this was a Dhow in Oman, in the Persian Gulf. The batteries in my camera were purchased at the local gas station for 2 dirhams (like fifty cents) and the camera couldn't take more than a couple of pictures at a time before dying, so I had only a few-second window of opportunity. Plus, I was also on a dhow and we weren't anchored yet.
