In Dubai, we visited our friend Maia, who has been known to grow from a lemon tree.
She moved to Dubai because she loves Canadian coffee.
And education?
Maia also really likes pine nuts, and only buys them from the stores specializing in them.
Nearby, you can by bag-loads of saffron.
And golden vesicles.
Oh, and tree bark.
We had some envy about the spices.
And struggled to pick the right lamb carcass. (Pakistani? Australian?)
But the best food was Ethiopian.
The boats near the nut stores made a nice contrast to modern Dubai.
Fridge transport. We hoped these boats don't travel far.
Here's what the labourers do for fun.
