abu dhabi

Other than the glorious weather of 1000% humidity, the coolest (ha) thing in Abu Dhabi is that the green man actually physically walks. Like, in case you forgot how while you were waiting at the curb for the red hand to disappear and grant you movement once more. 

I guess the other coolest thing is that it brought me within driving and meeting distance of Liam, which is always spectacular.

Also, it's just cool to be in the midst of a city that's building itself up literally as I type, with the aim of "Abu Dhabi 2030." It's like I'm sitting right in the centre of this city's full hope and faith in the future, which is quite ... refreshing.

Tokyo has the walking green man too. So genuinely helpful.
