It is sometimes fun to see what irrelevant items are lumped together in the grocery store.

What constitutes “ethnic foods” in a French supermarket in an Arab country? Japanese, Thai, Mexican, and Russian. I was just glad they had fat-free refried beans. Yeah!

Why build a twisted skyscraper? Because we can.

One might think there would be little need of “dewatering” in a desert climate, but apparently not.

“Safety is No Accident.” That’s pithy.

What is “sustainable transport” in a desert Opec country? Desperately needed, that’s what.

Hot Bread – Bread Line and Mr. Copy.

Hot Bread’s cupcakes may be the most delicious, but only probably.

Surprisingly, we see more actual camels than these signs.

Hmm… red cars stay to the left? Red trucks, too?


There are a wide variety of speed bump warning signs. There are also a wide variety (and plethora) of speed bumps.

There’s nothing quite like signs inside restroom stalls involving power tools.

Sea Urchin Lamp, that’s not it’s name, of course, but it is what it looks like.

Star Trek, The Next Generation chairs! The price is astronomical. 895AED/$244.00 on sale.

I found it interesting that the name of this product (and we all love Ikea product names, don’t we?) is more prominent than the picture of the product.

Time for some signs, don’t you think?

Four all your diesel transport needs, you can rent a tanker.

I’m glad they warned me about this one. I’m afraid of heights.

Some signs speak for themselves.

We stopped for our check up. (The building framed by the gateway is next to our apartment building which is obscured by the gate.)

And to go with your rented diesel tanker, here is a water tankar.

Let’s play a game.

Can you find the Kaka Fruit?

(If you don’t see any humor in “kaka fruit,” allow me to explain that “kaka” in some countries is slang for poop.)
