A couple of days ago, we visited some of my favorite cousins in Abu Dhabi, which is about an hour and half drive from Dubai. Abu Dhabi is remarkably different from Dubai. Even though it didn’t take my breath away or anything, I found it a bit more interesting than Dubai. It felt more like a real city.

It was also cool to finally get to visit Abu Dhabi after spending a childhood watching Garfield tell Nermal that he’s sending him to Abu Dhabi. And for the record, here’s that Abu Dhabi song that Garfield used to always sing (thanks IMDB!):

Abu Dhabi, it’s far away / Abu Dhabi, that’s where you’ll stay / Abu Dhabi, the place to be / For any kitten who’s annoying me, yeah! / Abu Dhabi, it’s off the track / Abu Dhabi, now don’t come back / Abu Dhabi, it’s quite a thrill / For any kitten who can make me ill! / Now some take a train / And some take a plane / But I am sending you / Not on a boat / Or even by goat / But in a box marked “Postage Due.” / Abu Dhabi, you’re what they lack / Abu Dhabi, now you’re all packed / Abu Dhabi, a far commute / For any kitten who is too darn cute!
