I was taking a walk tonight through Al Ain, one of the bigger cities in the United Arab Emirates, and something struck me. I had noticed it before, but now I really started to pay attention. Like a kid, I started to count cars.
Well, the color of cars.
I was really focusing on one color: white. White cars. White cars seemed to be everywhere.
So I was on my walk, with nothing else to do except listen to music and . . . count cars.
So I did that for a while, and here are my results.
Total: 55 cars
White cars: 28 (!!!)
Non-white cars: 25
Taxis: 2 (always silver)
More than half are white?
I know I live in the desert, but does the color white really reflect the glaring sun that much?
Such a boring place.

I can't believe this! Every time I sit in traffic lately, I find myself surrounded by white cars. Weird.
ReplyDeleteRemember when there used to be brown cars? Where are all the brown cars? Brown is dead to cars.
