Never a dull day in Dubai... we just got evacuated from my office thanks to a 6.1 magnitude earthquake across the Gulf in Iran. First time I've ever felt a quake, and it was a bit unnerving - I felt like someone was standing behind me shaking my chair, and I looked up thinking I was crazy, and then I noticed a couple other colleagues looking up, looking like they were thinking they were crazy, and then the next thing we knew everyone was streaming out of the building. Ha.
At any rate, everything here in Dubai seems to be fine, but I still feel a little queasy from the shaking... remind me never to move to California! (Not that that was ever going to happen, anyhow...)
