... however, the complete disregard of lanes or lane guides, and the folks who frequently make a left hand turn from the far right lane across four lanes of traffic. But it is loud, and colorful, and if you're not in a hurry to get anywhere can be interesting to watch. We always cause a stir because of our Emirati license plates, with people honking as they pass and/or staring. <br><br>One morning we decided to take the kids to the corniche and ...

I am going to make it work as I am looking forward to the future at getting my mortgage paid off and also having the money to do some more traveling that I love doing, think I will do the 2 years like I had said to myself ...
Jeddah, Saudi Arabia gill_prior... lol) and of course my all time favorite for the flavor of old Yemen, Souk Al Yeman, and Souk al Yumama - for gold... Had some terrific meals, and met with many friends, and can only note that the ongoing urban development, the quality of the new construction and the concerted effort at creating a solid IT infrastructure for all residents of Jeddah is commendable. The new buildings are the dream of great architects, a must see.
