Reflection#1

Last week, I and my friends went into a trip to capture UAE's landscape between the past and present. We learned how our grandfathers lived before the economic and technological development that UAE witnessed after fining oil.  Also, we get to know about the tools and items that they used to help them make their life easier, such as dagger and boat. Also, how they find water in the middle of the desert. Their usual ways of transport were camels, horses and donkey. It is clearly visible how the life in UAE has changed within 40 years. This rapid change can be easily seen even for the tourist. We had some interviews with European tourist and ask them about the cultural differences that they witnessed during their tours in UAE.
