Glimpses of Abu Dhabi City

Corniche in Abu Dhabi City


Abu Dhabi City


Let's just park in the middle of the road..


I made my way into the city last weekend, it's like KL 20 years back except there is a beautiful peaceful beach called the Corniche..lots of small shops, dilapidated apartment blocks, cheap mamak like restaurants, fabric shops, guys who can repair your shoes sitting on the sidewalk. I like it! It's kinda hectic though and I don't think I will live in the city, there is absolutely no parking available as most apartment blocks were not built with parking. Lots of people also walk around in traditional clothes (abayas and shelas for women and Kanduras or dishdash and guthras for men). Some restaurants also separate male and family rooms..so I've got to be careful when I explore. I also feel like I'm stared at all the time, there aren't many asian females walking around by themselves in the city. Most asians here are philipinos and there are tons of indians, meaning yummy cheap indian food! I am looking forward to exploring more this weekend..
