A brief stopover here in Dubai for Horace the nomadic monkey. It is hot. It is humid. Imagine stepping out your front door and stepping into a giant, hot sponge - that's the UAE.

On the other hand, neither Horace nor Zoe has ever seen so many flashing lights in one place. Which is saying a lot 'cause Zoe made a robot last semester whose whole job was to flash a lot of lights (true story - the transistors all melted right before the presentation). That's how many lights there are.

I'm telling you, so many flashing lights.

The UAE, land of beaches, burkas, and a loooot of smoking.

Proof of place. See?
