Abu Dhabi

It looks beautiful as described on the net. All roads are straight and joined as a square and the possibility of getting lost is very minimal. Mostly the roads lead us to our destination. All buildings are taller and I have the privilege of working in the tallest building (National Bank of Abu Dhabi, Khalifa Street ) in Abu Dhabi.



As we have Pillaiyar temple at every street in our area, we can see atleast one mosque in every road/street here.

They follow left hand driving, the traffic rules are ‘keep right’ and it takes some time for us to judge the traffic while crossing the roads. Even if we make a mistake, they stop their vehicles and politely ask us to cross instead of saying ' Veettula sollittu vandiya?’. I have not seen even a single two wheeler here in the last one week except for one cycle.

All cars are parked on the roads except on the main roads.



There is no nativity problem as majority of the population are migrated from other parts of the world.

As far as the cost of living is concerned, the prices are too high and by the name of a flat, we get a room in a flat with a shared kitchen and bathroom and is very difficult for bachelors to get their accommodation fixed. For females it is even more worser.

UAE is the best place for shopping rather. I visited couple of Maals here and you get from wet dosa mix to paruppu podi. No south Indian would miss their regular home food. You get chappathis / parathas readily available and just heat and eat, you are done with your food.

Sand storms are an odd kind of storm that most people don't have the opportunity to experience. I witnessed this odd happening during my stay at Abudhabi and on my travel to Dubai. The entire atmosphere was covered with sand and was flowing like rain affecting the visibility. Motorists faced hazardous driving conditions. Find the pictures of the same below
