Greener Pastures
although the winter clouds have passed by Lebanon without much downpour the country is covered in a spring green color.
Soon the sun will burn the green to yellow and it will then be time for us to seek for greener pastures.

Lack of Camels in Lebanon
Ever since moving to Lebanon we have been confronted by a lack of camels in the street or the excellent camel products in the supermarkets.
When will be finally able to get Camelicious flavored milk in Beirut, what about all other poor Gulf tourists that have to suffer without?
The country does have a fair number of donkeys.....
Some of them driving in black X5's

Heat in the city
Welcome to the camelicious blog from Dubai.
This is not going to be a malicious blog, just about observations of person living in a small place called Dubai in the middle of the desert.
The name of the blog is after the favorite drink of my son: http://www.camelicious.ae/
These days alas we see less and less camels out here. Due to the nasty men (acccording to my son) with there yellow bulldozers and JBC's who are levelling the dunes to prepare them for more investment opportunities.
Work has not stopped yet, but we can expect an oversupply of apartments and villa's soon.
Good news as the rents had reached astronomical levels here in Dubai. The rates are down nearly 50% since last year and I expect a further drop as many expat families are leaving this summer for a one way trip. The latest number I heard is still less than 100,000 one way trips on our local airline.
To get back to my beloved camels. there are still some camel farms alongside the Dubai by-pass road. Recently I spotted a few near Academic city (no not students).
Back in the "old" days, the 90's we had quite a few accidents with camels walking onto the highways. This is mainly a danger from the past.
Anyway enough for today, do not forget to get your camelicious
