Tweet Of The Week: Abu Dhabi On Our Mind
Poor Dubai, you haven't had the best week; what with the announcement about the failure of the multi-billion dollar "The World" deal and news that the skyscraper Burj Dubai would be delayed until December, unable to open this month as planned. All that his news has made us do however, is think more and more about heading over to that nook of the world and seeing what exactly is going on.
Thanks to Twitter though, we don't need to quite yet. We can be perfect armchair tourists thanks to tweets like the above, from Lara Dunston, who is living the United Arab Emirates life currently, but her profile cements her nomadic status: "Perpetual globetrotter (60+countries) travel writer (40+books, 100s stories for world’s best publishers) living out of a suitcase since Jan 06." Her personal travel stories can be found at cool travel guide, and her tweet today made us wish we were on the other side of the world with her:
...thoroughly enjoyed walking Abu Dhabi streets today... it was certainly sticky but there was a salty breeze blowing from the Corniche...
We have it on good authority from past visitors to Dubai, though not Abu Dhabi, that walking the streets is a rarity as most everyone drives. Apparently in Abu Dhabi, it is not so, as at least Lara was out enjoying the weather. Envy—yes, that is this feeling we have.
