When I was a kid, I used to watch this, A LOT. Especially when I was in Aussie, I would get up every morning at some ungodly hour, just to watch Lamb Chops Play Along, and have a bowl of Nutrigrain.
And I always, till today, thought the lamb sock puppet, was really a lamb. As in, a soft toy lamb.
Heehee.

These cravens are actually dry river beds. Come december or so, when rain falls, the water will stream down from the craggy mountains and rush through these paths. Strong currents, so that means these parts will be inaccessible to drivers. Or anyone else for that matter.
This is part of an old-school irrigation system used in the oasis, water is drawn from the well, and then stored in a high tank, which then lets the water flow into these channels at relatively high pressure. There are gaps in these paths along the fields where water then flows into the fields to water the plants. But the water is warm.
The guide said that if you fall down this well, you will die. Make no mistakes about it. After that warning, I stayed clear away from the edge.
Coriander.
Mint. It is slightly disconcerting to see a sudden patch of vivid green amidst dried crops, sand, and rocks.
Dates. But these won’t be ripe for another 2 weeks or so.
These were all part of an oasis in Oman.
We went to the Red Sand Dunes. The sand here is almost scorching hot. But oh, so fine to touch! Gorgeous, the golden hue.
It does look like the camel is kissing the dude isn’t it? Poor camel.
So liquid, the eyes!
In this Gold Souk, all that glitters is gold. And mind you, no fake stuff here. 
A glimpse of the food.
ALL these food galore. I’m too lazy to go into details.
Heading out to ultra onservative Sharjah now. Outs.

We bought this much water. In preparation for the trip to the desert. Really looks like it huh.
There’s no pork there. ^^ Turkey, Beef and Veal aplenty.
Paprika!!
Fig Peaches
The Carrefour in Dubai’s Mall of Emirates is gigantuang! There were rows and rows of food, and different varieties for all kinds of food. There were at least 5 types of tomatoes! Including a variety called Black Tomato.
Wild Wadi exterior. I’m too much of a coward to hazard the water rides so we didn’t head there.
Air-conditioned busstops. Don’t you wish we had this in Singapore?
Finally I get to try this.
Had a big lunch at an Iranian Restaurant – Hatam.
Went to Dubai Marina to catch a glimpse of the world’s tallest hotel – Burj Al Arab.
First day here and I don’t mind the heat. It’s a good start I hope.
