In Abu Dhabi? Was running late to studio, and decided to do a shortcut through the mall (located in front of the community area the studio was in). Suddenly rushed into a section that had different tiles, differently dressed people etc. and this amazing kitschy dolphin fountain from the late 80's-early 90's. Didn't think much of it then.
Later in the day when we had to evacuate the studio for a pest control/ventilation check, I tried to find that area again because there was a café that seemed pretty dead and easy to chill at. I walked circles in that place, before checking with the info desk, who told me that café shut down five years ago.

There was a park right behind the building, where I lived last year. I had never been, so I decided to explore that part of the neighbourhood, before moving out. It was a little rainy and a little windy, but turned out the park housed an airport museum (I love weird museums!) and an icecream store (I love icecream!) so I had a pretty good day out. :)
There was also an airplane military base nearby and that day was also the start of a marathon, so it was kind of funny to be walking alongside the runners and watching the planes practice tricks in the sky.

There should be more of these... the last time I was in one of these was in Corpus Christi when I was 13...

try find some small religious building (church, mosque, whatever's most important to the place) thats still in use and have an explore. so much cool history and interesting art expression on a closer scale than insane cathedrals or other proper Sightseeing destinations. (no knock to those though, big up the sagrada familia 💪)
sometimes they'll have little information booklets or a leaflet, and theres just something really sick about checking out a place that's stuck around for so long with so much continuity.

it's totally cool to age and society still isn't equipped to deal with that.

Sometimes you try your best and everything seems to hit the fan no matter how much you try, so you take that raincheck and take yourself out for a day.

This is what I call it hahahah made by mums everywhere but the greased up version is sold along stalls in Mumbai. Two regular slices of white bread, buttered, and the middle filling is cream cheese with red onions, coriander/cilantro, tomatoes and some minced chillis. All veggies chopped mini cube size so they blend with the cheese. Toasted crispy.
