Slight correction, Mecca doesn't need sewage trucks... they got an underground system..... still I had no idea that Dubai didn't have one...very interesting, and thanks for sharing.

If you google "where does Dubai dump their sewage" it will explain that there is 1 [one] very old sewage treatment in Dubai and 10 thousand of these trucks and sometimes the sewage is dumped into storm drains and ends up washing up on the beaches. They built a very modern looking city but did not bother to install a sewer system. This is one aspect of Dubai that I am sure they would not like to discuss ~YouTube.

Honey buckets!

One of the honey bucket firms in our county has a logo, "SHT2GO" pasted on the back of their trucks, plus patches on their sleeves.

I wonder if those cylinders on wheels could be attached end to end and... maybe burried in the ground? Weird I know.

The American cemetery in Manila yesterday. The monument has ~35,000 MIA's listed from the Navy, Army and Army Air Corps. The grounds have the remains of ~17,000 service members who fought in WWII.

Interesting trivia: The eagle (see below) carved into the monument is a "War Eagle"-- i.e. his head points towards the arrows.

After the War, the eagle changed to the "Peace Eagle", where the eagle looks towards the olive branches.

Current military Colonel rank depicts "Peace Eagles" as well.

The specify gravity of a strawberry is about .92 and that strawberry pictured is about 2' x 2' x 2' totaling 8 cubic feet. So it's either photo shopped or that guy is really strong if he can lift a 500 pound strawberry.

Yeah, thought something was not right about that strawberry.

We were there one year over 4th of July. On the 4th, we had a corner room overlooking the harbor and the the fireworks show. The next day, they moved us across the hall to a corner room looking down Waikiki Beach to Diamond Head. The two-balcony corner rooms are the best for sure.

Have fun on the rest of your trip.
