I can't stand the rain..

Dubai rain

I know I have complained about it before, but you really can't begin to imagine what a royal pain it is when it rains in Dubai. It's a city that was in no way built for the rain, hardly any drain pipes, nowhere for the water to go... it's insane. Sometimes they even have hadve to bring in huge tankers to suck up the water from the road when it gets too much.  Then there is the whole wet sand thing... you know how uncomfortable it is to walk around in shoes on wet sand.....try having to deal with that EVERYWHERE you go.

Obviously it's raining here in Dubai otherwise I wouldn't be bitching and moaning. It's like grey crappy London weather. And then this afternoon... not only did a thunderstorm kick in... but at the same time, so did a sand storm.

Fun.

I'm looking out my window at work right now and you can't see anything. It's like being inside a giant dirty vacum cleaner bag that is 20 years old and has NEVER been emptied. Smells like it too.

Apparently, there is reduced visibility on the roads to 800 metres. Awesome, I can't wait to have to drive home... that should be eventful.
