No one enjoys the Rains like Sharjah

No one enjoys the rains like Sharjah residents.

First picture shows this dude rafting in a residential complex, he went onto the road near Sharjah City Center, paddled around for some 1.5 hours or so around the neighbourhood.

Second picture: As you can see, it was so diffcult to cross from one side to the other, the foothpaths are under water and cars could barely see.
Saloon cars rarely came this side as water was as high as the door handles, some 4 Wheelers had the guts to try to pass through, and as the picture shows 3 of them broke down.

And a special mention to Robinson Crusoe who found a door sized Thermcol sheet and a stick. As a large pickup passed by the waves were so strong it overturned him, from under the water he yelled "Yakhra baitak" (May your house be destroyed)

Well luckily the schools are off for Wed & Thu.

This is the highest recorded rainfall in the UAE, no matter what- we enjoyed every bit of it.

Rain Rain go away....
come again another day....
Robinson Crusoe wants to play...

City Litter bugs

I detest how all these 'bed spacers" dirty the city with their pasted printouts all over the city. There's so many websites and newspapers that offer them free advertisements yet they target phone booths, supermarket walls, corners, Trash cans & main entrances.

In my opinion the municipalities must start to call these numbers or just fine them by their mobile numbers. That will clean up the city litter on the walls.
