Morjes!

Welcome to my blog. I write about fitting in, sticking out, and missing the motherland as a serial foreigner.

U-turn or not U-turn?

I have an email from my supervisor sitting in my inbox, but I haven't read it yet so I don't know if it's my thesis come back to me. So I'm not cheating by posting today. Here is a picture I took in Dubai the other day.

No U-turns. But also, U-turns.

(The hand-drawn sign is directions to a wake. So I guess the U-turn is OK if you're going to the wake.)

We made a U-turn there. The sign is there for a reason: that spot is a place where you kind of need to do a U-turn because of the weird road design. There's plenty of space for it, too!
