My Journey to Abu dhabi ( Part 2 my first Tour )

My Journey to Abu dhabi ( Part 2 my first Tour )

On my third day in Abu Dhabi my Sister invited me to watch a Movie in Cinema 3d at first im not familiar with this 3d cinema because its a long time ago the last time I watch in cinema way back year 2002 with my wife & my children.
So then i prepared myself to be ready a little bit excited to experienced life in abu dhabi, now we are ready to travel my sister and my nephew, our destination MARINA MALL where in Cinema & carrefour is there one of the largest hypermarkets with so many brands in the Middle East.
From my Sisters accommodation to Marina Mall we need to find a transport a distance maybe it will take you 30 minutes travel available means of transportation is Buses, and Taxi if you have a personal car of your own is convenient for you.
I noticed here in Abu Dhabi taxi cars have all the same color Grey not like in Riyadh all white, i have observed also all the vehicles here in abu dhabi are in the latest models , year 2000 and above thats why the environment is clean you will observed atmosphere of the air is fresh.
We decide to choose a Bus coz all taxi are busy, riding in a Bus in abu dhabi is very different in Riyadh buses are clean, organized systematic and computerized there are separate seats for ladies and Mens the cost of transportation is 1 dirhams (coin) just drop it into their Steel Box which is located in the right side of the driver , i noticed that driver seat is covered with glass you cannot interrupt the driver i don’t know the reason but he is secured .
While travelling im an observer , coz im new here in abu dhabi usually expatriate is the passenger of Buses specially Filipinos women, Traffic rules here in abu dhabi are very implemented, they very strict in their policy all your violations will appear on their systems .
Finally we reached Marina Mall, at first we take some pictures of me and my nephew just for simple remembrance of my tour here, not like in Saudi Arabia you cannot take a picture on public places ,
Anyway I observed the culture here in Abu dhabi, Too much freedom its like living in your own country I saw people with different nationalities wearing their best attire as what they like decent,or even gorgeous fashion they want to wear, its upto to you.
So then we went to the cinemas placed the cost is 30 dirhams per person , we bought the ticket for 3 person after that we bought a meal, nachos & popcorn with softdrinks I did not ask the price coz my sister treat me all . After that we went inside the cinema I also noticed the systematic & organized way for dealing customer s watchers of movies in cinema , all tickets have their own designated placed with numbers of seats where you were going to seat the same way in the system on the plane they will give your placed of seats nice idea.
Cinemas in Marina Mall are fully carpeted and very clean , next time we will watch movies with 3d unfortunately Harry Potter is not 3d but its good movie ,. Anyway after watching we went to carrefor mall bought something necessity for our everyday needs, my sister also bought a nice toy for his precious son such a loving mother..
Finally we decide to go home coz its going late at night the Store is closing at 10 pm ( its too early)
We wait for taxy or buses but very busy lots of passengers and taxis are lesser noticed that you have to fall in line to get a taxi or buses we wait for almost one hour but still transportations are very busy fortunately some Filipinos we met beside me are very much accommodating he offer us a ride coz his brother has personal van he is coming to pick them and his family surpirisingly this Filipinos are co employees of my sister they are both working in Mafraq Hospital in different department what a small world after that they took the numbers of their cel as a token of friendship..
Anyhow Again all these events are God Plans for us you just have to think that there is a God who created everything Godbless to All see you on my next Journey...
