Price of Oil in Dubai

I suppose it is about time I started sorting my The MEAT photos. I am hopeless with filing and cataloguing photos. My SD card full of THe MEAT photos remains untouched (until today), almost like it has some kind of awful disease.

Came across this picture which gives you a sense of how unnecessarily cheap oil is in Dubai.


For background, 1 Dirham = approx $0.30 AUD; 1 gallon = 3.79 litres.

The calculation works out to be approx $0.49/litre. Hmmmmmm

    I recently acquired a watch from overseas. A seiko watch. It cost 300 dollars, + 60 dollars delivery. Not bad huh. Considering it costs roughly 1100 dollars here *sigh*

    Now if only we could buy our oil on ebay too huh...


    Oh it's quite a pretty watch too. Remind me to show it to EVERYONE, considering at 300 dollars it's the most expensive piece of jewellery I've ever had. No rolex for me. Not that I want one anyway. I'd feel weird wearing something that costs more than... well... everyting else I own put together, including my car,... on my wrist. And I'd probably feel ridiculously paranoid about those young hooligans that might be wanting to tear it off my delicate (*cough*) wrist.

    Okok.. back to the topic at hand. Or maybe not.

    Let's talk about what we were discussing today, namely the vices of Envy and Jealousy that we all seem to suffer from, from time-to-time.

    I remember being a young man out on the town in my later teenage years, only to find that all the girls wanted nothing to do with me, because as per usual they were more interested in my friends. I would say I was quite envious some of my friends back then. They seemed to almost KNOW WHAT THEY WERE DOING, whereas me - being even more clueless then than I am now (so painful to even think that's possible) - had no idea of what I was doing, so tactfully took a background position, where I could practice fading into the then smokey background... oh yeah everyone used to smoke back then... except for me of course. *sigh*

    I suspect I haven't grown out of that mentality even now. Used to competing with the wallpaper for attention, and most often losing, I've grown accustomed to it, and have forgotten how to be anything else. How sad.

    Hmmm Marissa, I seem to have not-so-accidently hijacked your blog. Ah well...
