Memories, memories....
I lived one year in Sharjah in 1976. I saw the new souq being built. There was only one main street at that time in Sharjah.
Same about the Creek in Dubai where I used to have dinner every evening (10 km from my house in Sharjah).
I spent altogether nine years in the U.A.E.
Same about Mexico City where I spent two years in the Angel's area. I lived in Rio Po, right behind and had my breakfast every morning in the Sanborns in front of the Angel by the Sheraton Isabel.
Thank you for refreshing these memories.
