Rediscovering Sharjah ( part 2 )
....... ok a tiny bit of an addition to a previous post i made a few months back --> Rediscovering Sharjah ( part1 )
Driving down to work everyday by the Sharjah Airport Road.. it struck me that this city really really really loves two things to death; its lamp posts and its fountains. These pictures probably dont quite highlight the essence of what i really mean, but anyone who has stayed in this country long enough will know what i am talking about....
imagine such ornate lampposts of the above sort on either side of the street for kilometers at stretch in the outskirts of the city !??? huh ?? huh ?? see what i mean ??
is it just me ?? or is there something a little odd about a beautifully done up fountain sitting all by itself on an open barren ground... i mean - was it reallly that necessary to get the fountains up and running before you constructed anything around the damn place !?? i dunno.. just find it quite odd. And there are two more fountians next to this one too (have to take a better picture sometime)
And while i am on the topic of Sharjah... tell me that you dont find it a little odd when you spot the rather over-zealous pathan washing his taxi/pickup in a tiny little puddle of rainwater that he has solely claimed as his own private car wash territory.... i still dont get that one no matter how hard i try !!
Anyway.. enough ranting about Sharjah... its not too bad a place after all... ( thats right.. i'll keep telling myself that and soon i'll believe it
