Beneblog: Technology Meets Society

NOVEMBER 19, 2008

I spent the day before the council driving around the United Arab Emirates and a bit in Oman. I welcomed the opportunity to check out the country: it's actually not that big and by driving around all day was able to get a quick view of points east of Dubai (on the Gulf) to the Indian Ocean and drive across the border into Oman.
