Stu finally agreed to go with me to Art Dubai this morning (see nagging does work) as it was the last day of the show and I made him feel guilty that we don’t see and do enough cultural stuff here (ok the limited budget isn’t helping either but anyway). This acquiesence may have been helped by the fact that there wasn’t a Super 14 match on the box at the time but whatever the reason, we went and I am happy.

Stu and I travelled to Abu Dhabi this week to visit “The Guggenheim: The Making of a Museum” exhibition at the Emirates Palace hotel. Stu had initially expressed an interest in going, especially as some masterpieces from the Guggenheim collection were to be on display. We suddenly realised this past weekend that we had almost run out of time as the show was only on until the 4th February. So we decided to go on Tuesday this week.
The drive to Abu Dhabi was thankfully uneventful; it manages to be nerve-wracking (other people’s driving) and boring (a long straight road) at the same time somehow. I don’t know how people commute that way everyday. We finally arrived at the hotel just before lunch-time. Actually we got into Abu Dhabi in good time, but then my poor choice of route took us right into the worst of the traffic and we took a while longer getting down to the Corniche. Let’s just say that I wasn’t too popular. Oh dear..
