We are doing well here in Dubai. Finally getting our internal clocks adjusted to 10hrs ahead. We took it easy for the first couple of days, as everything seemed a little overwhelming. The driving is the funniest part. Everyone races everywhere as fast as they can (I'm talking 100km/h on side streets). The other day our cab driver tried to race and out maneuver a Ferrari.
"Yes buddy, you almost have him in your crappy toyota cab that is governed at 120km/h"
We are staying in a hotel apartment near the marina. It is quite a beautiful place, it just opened a month ago. They are not running at full occupancy so the workers are trying to stay busy and the service is a little much. One day we were asked if we wanted our place cleaned 3 times (one at 11pm). Thank goodness for Do Not Disturb signs.
We have a beautiful kitchen but no pots or pans etc. Knives and forks fine, but anything to prepare food with is missing. The hotel seemed genuinely surprised when we asked for a pot and pan. "you want to cook in your kitchen?"
We are thinking of you all.

This is where we ate lunch the other day. It is a place called Madinat Jumeira with lots of restaurants and souks (market).
The food available at the local grocery store. The shrimp on the lower right are the same size as Bruce's foot. 
Just an image of the seafood area.
Bruce's spanky new office.
