More random thoughts, poorly structured, and having little basis in verified fact. - The Speaking Sisyphus Stone

The Speaking Sisyphus Stone. April 24th, 2014. More random thoughts, poorly structured, and having little basis in verified fact. I think the truth about the United Arab Emirates is found in the back stairwells. What will be the end result? Will it eventually come tumbling down like other buildings on this side of the world? Are the holes in the porcelain crooked? I haven't looked. That 20% they get wrong is a real killer. But sometimes, in a back stairwell or storage room of a glittering modern building...

Al Ain - The Speaking Sisyphus Stone
http://seaslug-of-doom.livejournal.com/170373.html
The Speaking Sisyphus Stone. July 7th, 2014. I took a road trip to Al Ain, the weekend before last, with coworkers. Al Ain is Arabic for The Spring. It is the fourth largest city in the UAE and the birthplace of its first president. It has been inhabited for at least 4000 years and has served as an oasis for all of that time. Originally it was just my coworkers going, but they hounded me to go, I decided that I needed a little change of pace, and, of course, I'm the one with a car. At the top of the moun...

http://seaslug-of-doom.livejournal.com/2015/05/03
The Speaking Sisyphus Stone. May 3rd, 2015. May 3rd, 2015. Take me to the Ace Hardware by Zayed Port. I am sorry, sir. I have only been here five days. Thats all right, Ill show you. The automobile is currently the primary means of getting around the United Arab Emirates. In the cities, and certainly in Abu Dhabi, the automobile of choice for many is the taxi. It was my choice, my first couple of months, but I went on to get my UAE drivers license and drove my own vehicle the rest of my stay. Though it s...

Kinokuniya! - The Speaking Sisyphus Stone
http://seaslug-of-doom.livejournal.com/170035.html
The Speaking Sisyphus Stone. July 6th, 2014. I paid a visit to Kinokuniya Book World in Dubai Mall, yesterday. Housed in, arguably, the largest shopping mall in the world, I presume that it is the biggest book store in the United Arab Emirates, if not the entire Middle East. Orbiting through a 68,000 square foot half circle, Kinokuniya houses a very large collection of English, Chinese, Japanese, and Arabic language books, graphic novels, comics, writing materials, figurines and toys. Arriving at the oth...

Used Books in Abu Dhabi! - The Speaking Sisyphus Stone
http://seaslug-of-doom.livejournal.com/170559.html
The Speaking Sisyphus Stone. July 22nd, 2014. Used Books in Abu Dhabi! After visiting Kinokuniya in Dubai, based on reading this article. And about which I wrote here. I decided to follow up further and find the other book stores listed in the same news story; particularly Thrift Books and Book and Bean, in Abu Dhabi. Specifically about the shop. It's on Al Falah Street. Don't know where Al Falah Street is? It's also called Passport Road. And 9th Street. Well. you'll just have to learn. A...The lack of a...

In which I discover a part of the Middle East that I actually rather like, I guess. - The Speaking Sisyphus Stone
http://seaslug-of-doom.livejournal.com/169570.html
The Speaking Sisyphus Stone. May 21st, 2014. In which I discover a part of the Middle East that I actually rather like, I guess. I went to Oman last weekend with coworkers. It was interesting. We all flew out of Abu Dhabi on Thursday night, at about 9 pm. We had to run our bags through scanners twice during check-in, but even so the security screening was not as bad as it would be in the US. I never once had to take off my shoes or wonder if someone would confiscate my toothpaste. Realizing that the rose...
