Exciting days in Abu Dhabi

Some life-alterning changes have been happening in the city this summer. Here are 3 you many want to read up on:

1) New waterfront open!! This has been in construction since we moved here, and now the corniche is a really cool place to go- not just a walk to take :)http://www.gulfnews.com/gngalleries/galleries/10226519.html

2) Midday work laws are being enforced! Now instead of baking during the steamy afternoons, workers are getting to take a well deserved break that has always been a "law".

3) Public buses have hit Abu Dhabi. So far they are mainly connecting one mall to another, but in the evenings they are packed!! It could have something to do with the price= free! (until 2009). http://archive.gulfnews.com/articles/08/06/26/10223758.html
