Frustrated by trying to post to us? Good News:

From The National, Sunday April 27, 2008 :
Capital address system to eliminate confusion
“Abu Dhabi// The capital is to get a new address system to help everyone from residents to postal workers and emergency services locate streets, offices and houses quickly and logically.
The system…..should replace the traditional Middle Eastern method of identifying locations by their proximity to landmarks or intersections - plus a bit of guesswork and luck - which can make finding an address a frustrating experience.”
“The aim was to give all areas and streets unique names and logical and sequentially structured numbering….”
Maybe in a year or two any birthday cards sent through to us will actually arrive! Here's hoping....
