Another dinner at Oishi Sushi! Last time we saw the teppanyaki and O thought it was amazing as he had never seen teppanyaki before... I still remember every birthday at Benihana when I was 13...ha... So anyway, this time we tried it and it was fantastic! Wow! The chicken and fried rice were the best. Really, really good!</div>

<i>Musfer Sinkhole is the official name of a karst cave in Umm Al Shabrum,
central Qatar. This sinkhole is one of the karst features. Other karst
features include depressions, caves, and solution hollows. Karst is a
distinctive environment characterized by landforms that are the product
of dissolution of surface and subsurface rock by natural water to a
greater extent than in other landscapes. It occurs both as surface and
underground features. Several substantial caves are known in Qatar, but
many have probably been filled with blown sand, or have collapsed to
produce some of the thousands of depressions or dolines.</i><br />

Inside was mostly limestone as that's what Qatar is predominantly made up of. We did find a bit of gypsum.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I'm still looking for a favorite restaurant in Dubai but <a href="https://www.facebook.com/socialhousedubai">Social House</a> was pretty good. N took us here as it's one of the decent places she's found since moving to Dubai. The location is great in the downtown Dubai area with views of the light show. The food was good with lots of selections. The Asian style US short ribs were actually really good!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've always driven between Dubai and Abu Dhabi but this time V and I decided to try out the bus operated by flydubai (<a href="http://www.flydubai.com/en/about-us/bus-service/">http://www.flydubai.com/en/about-us/bus-service/</a>).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The bus stop in Abu Dhabi is this Al Masaood Tourism & Holidays. We got there 30 minutes before departure time and the office was closed and there was no one around. I called the flydubai main number and the guy told us to just wait until about 10 minutes before departure.</div>

The views were amazing from up here and we could see the petal design around the stadium. The food was good but a little on the expensive side. It's definitely best to come here for the atmosphere!<br />

So I've eaten at Al Bandar many times but never been super impressed with the food. It's so popular with everyone that I somehow keep ending up here! So I was talking with H about it and she told me about their chicken shawarma dish. I feel like shawarma is not something to usually order at such a fancy restaurant but she said it was amazing. I ordered it. It is AMAZING. It's only 25QR, much cheaper than most items on the menu, and it's incredible. Sure I've had incredible shawarma from shawarma shops but this one is really different and a sort of "gourmet shawarma." I totally recommend trying it and it's great to share with everyone as an appetizer! Now I know that I'll be going all the time to Al Bandar for this chicken shawarma...!</div>
