A stormy weekend

The weather over the weekend was dreadful, most unusual in sunny Dubai! We had a sandstorm and a thunderstorm so we took the opportunity to pay a visit to our local DVD store.

Pleasantly surprised by the rates, it costs just 10dhs to hire a DVD [$2.70USD or approx $4.30NZD]. Regardless of whether it's a new release or The Sound of Music, it's all 10dhs and they all have to be back within 24 hours. That's simplicity for you!

We decided to get Crash. It's no wonder this won Best Motion Picture of the Year. In my opinion, it was fantastic.
