Did anyone guess them all? The first picture is of the golf clubhouse in Abu Dhabi, where I will soon be reclining with a Cuban cigar and a tabloid, after a really crappy round of golf. It's in the shape of a falcon, as falconry is a real hot sport over there. There's an annual golf tournament in Abu Dhabi, which Tiger Woods is known to attend every year. I would like to take this time to denounce all blasfemous rumors, no, Tiger Woods is not really my uncle.
The next picture is of "The World." It's a bunch of man-made islands in a ambitious real estate campaign. You buy an island, say Australia or something, and build your dream home. That's the idea. The islands are visible from space.
The next picture is of "the palm." Same idea as the world. Yeah, yeah, big deal. The campaign slogan was, "The palm put Dubai on the map. The world puts the map on Dubai." Pretty slick.
The next picture is of a hotel in Dubai in the shape of a giant boat sail. Very swanky, upscale place. Type of place they only let Waldo J. Cartridge and a few catholic women into.
The last picture is an ariel view of the beautiful city of Abu Dhabi.
Did you guess them all? Good. I can't really give you anything, but you get some pretty dangerous bragging rights.
