free shuttle bus in Ras Al Khaimah, Al Hamra

if you ask around, many may tell you there is no longer any free shuttle bus in Al Hamra.  They are wrong, at least until now.

basically al hamra to manar mall route is still relatively active but the other routes due to lack of passengers the bus driver may not religiously drive around for nothing. So once you determine the time, you should call al hamra mall to inform them that you are waiting at where about half hour before you expect the shuttle to arrive.

driving attitude

one thing here is that people drive rather fast.  but speed isn't the issue. here they drive with no conservation. so when one thing goes wrong, it's the end.

and the worse is...  whenever a near death experience occurred, they will just curse the other party without realizing if they just drive a little more gentle, preserve nothing like that would have happened.

first meal in Dubai

25 dirhams burger.
the meat is actually fresh and nice
but size is still small
