Another 10 things I did not know before coming to the UAE

1. They REALLY don't have the concept of an address!
2. Cars generally flip over in traffic accidents, and people in them generally all die.
3. Pedestrians generally believe in the afterlife. They cross the road (with cars zipping at dangerously high speeds) slowly and without looking.
4. There is such a thing as beef bacon.
5. Buildings can be designed with no stormwater drainage, coz, there is no rain.
6. Malls are the Alpha and the Omega of life.
7. DRAGONMART sells things at chinese prices! (ok, just a teeny weeny bit more expensive, but still...)
8. Emirate women top it when it comes to veiling yer head in style.
9. Locals leave the engine on when filling their tank so the aircon is still on. So dangerous..
10. Bars can be franchised and can look exactly the same.

Oh, and one more..

11. Speed cameras cannot catch you if you drive above 200km/h   ; )
