Here in the UAE, the weekends are Friday and Saturday. Which means today is a holiday. But that hasn’t stopped me from working… of course not.
Last night someone from Kingwood showed up at the staff house, so it was actually pretty fun.
Two views outside the window of the staff house, which is a 3 bedroom penthouse apartment on the 17th floor overlooking the Persian Gulf:
And yes, the mosque can wake you up in the morning, even that high up off the ground.

Wow! That view is incredible!

That’s amazing! It’s much more beautiful than I thought.

So will you go to the beach before you leave?

Damn… nice view.
I wish I those kind of nice accomodations when I travel on business.

Um, it’s not all it’s cracked up to be, trust me.

It’s better than staying in a Fairfield or Hampton Inn in a southern Louisiana town or a small hotel by an airport in Canada.

No beach, sorry. Maybe some other time. And I do agree that the staff house is nicer than a Fairfield Inn. But the ground floor is kind-of “3rd world,” if get my drift.

Very impressive!
