Drip, drip, drip

It rained all Thursday night and most of Friday. This is the most rain Dubai will probably see until this time next year. It's not a city built for rain, so when it's wet things tend to go awry. There are puddles and small ponds everywhere, some residential areas are flooded and even experienced loss of electricity and water! It's no surprise that leaky building syndrome is also alive and well here, given the rate whole areas are being developed.

The driving here reminds me of bumper cars, except the slightest bump requires you to call the police by law. Add a little water, and the result was 513 car accidents on Thursday.
