37th UAE National Day

2 December 2008
UAE celebrated its 37th National Day.
there was a grand celebration at Adu Dhabi, the capital of UAE.
Another spectacular fireworks glitters the sky of AD.

different programs were expected. of course, with the continous success of this country, occasions like this should be well celebrated. parades all around the 7 Emirates. they painted their cars with UAE Flag colors. some were decorated with stickers... some were airpainted with flags... some have pictures of Sheikh Nahyan & Sheikh Maktoum on the window pannels... and almost all have their flags.

these are not just in parade... most residents done these... cars like those pictures above are continously roaming along the main streets... people were screaming... everybody seemed so happy. they were so proud being Emiratis...

who cant be proud? UAE have come this far... from ashes... i mean, from their sand rises the largest building in the world! one of the largest mall in the world in on soft opening now.
and not to mention the only 7 star hotel, the burj al arab.

maybe, if i am also a natural emirati, i can feel the same confidence. as young as 37, UAE have contributed a lot in history.

but most of all, it is not being boastful or too proud. i noticed that these people was trained to be patriotic... their culture and tradition has been planted since childhood.



i think its one thing that makes them somebody. being able to preserve their identity amidst the rapid progress in their country.
