Where can one find the world's tallest building next to the world's largest fountain and one of the world's largest shopping malls? Dubai, of course.

Al Jahili Fort, Al Ain
Looking a bit like Santa Fe, with canales, vigas, and latillas from palm trees.

Peer Pressure

School got a little more than hectic for a while, but now that I've graduated there's plenty of pressure to update my blog. Here's a bit of effort.

Daily Snap: Lavatory

Day 364: 3.13.2010

Aboard Etihad Airways, somewhere over Europe
Since we flew through the night, the windows were shut for almost the entire flight. I'd walk around every few hours, stretch, grab some water, and blast my eyes going from the dark cabin to superbright by looking through the only open window - the lavatory. I saw the snowy Alps and grabbed my camera for that reason, but we were already in the clouds by the time I went back in the lav.

Day 363: 3.12.2010

Aboard Etihad Airways, still in New York
We flew from JFK to Abu Dhabi for our workshop project on sustainable water resources. As if 12+ hours wouldn't be long enough, we were grounded in New York for almost 3 additonal hours. I'd watched a whole movie before we even took off.

The trees are smarter than college kids. Their leaves know it's still not quiet time to come out for spring.

Day 356: 3.5.2010

Riverside Drive
This apartment building and others like it remind me of Number 12, Grimmauld Place from Harry Potter. It's as if they don't belong and any passerby wouldn't see them sandwiched between the other buildings.

Day 354: 3.3.2010

Broadway near W 116th Street
There's nothing like a good street vendor. We skipped the Chees Burger and went straight for the falafel en route to Brooklyn. We were off to see Sam Mendes' production of As You Like It at BAM (of which I wasn't able to get any photos; the theatre was beautiful).

Day 353: 3.2.2010

Campus Garden
I stopped by the garden after yoga, and it looked to be sleeping soundly under the last blanket of snow. It's nothing much for a photo, but I hope little shoots are thinking of popping up.
