junkyard city - is where Abu Dhabi Musaffah
Here I am again ...
took me by 2 days to arrange thoughts and mood, now I can describe a few experiences you again ;-)
The official part: The document to which I now waited sooooooo long have finally arrived via UPS, and on Saturday or Sunday, can I take care of other formalities, because tomorrow Friday yes is all to ... The conversion of the weekend is more difficult as the time difference and climate, I tell you! Well, but there should now go on what - insha allah! if you know what I mean ;-)
I'll have even promised some time ago a story of the scrap yard, has lasted, but now I was with a friend in the evening there and we tried for one of his cars (you get used to Incidentally, soon everyone companion has a minimum of 3 are at home) to get a replacement part. Laughter without end, I just say ...
We had agreed that he (Yaser) pick me up at 18:00 and then together we jet to the "junkyard". (Why the scrap yard is explained in the quote char I like)
Well and because I'm already used to the feeling of time the Arabs, I'm at about 17:30 packed together in the office and I first moved mall in one, give me a dinner . get As expected, I then put up by about 18:15 towards the hotel, of course, no response or a call, SMS or the like. In the hotel arrived, first moved to drink a coffee, checked emails and believe it or not 18:55, the phone is ringing. - Yaser is here ... or almost on time?
Our motto is "Sit Tues ago samma more" Yaser also had another friend who Bassam - one about 55 years old and totally nice Jordanians, with which one can perform really funny and pleasant conversations as long as he is not much time has, for then go `s going on ... the man is like a Duracell Haserl, only the wrong with him were laid the cables and not instead of the arms now Pappalatur stop!
And if you look now the car is to do with the aim of space junk, and may the good Lord Bassam has nothing except to sit back - lies down with him as if by magic, the switch over and he speaks without a break. I got me in between was wondering whether he has gills behind the ears so one way to breathe because I have not seen him during the chatter!
The Yaser is after 15 min constant stream from the cheap seats then become too stupid and he has turned on the radio. Zero reaction Duracel Haserl weitergefaselt undeterred. Yaser so the radio loud shot - you can think it you sure - Bassam loud talking, something he does not hold, and it forced itself to the question whether he has seen this quite a few times because the voice volume was adjusted in milliseconds of the environment , almost reflexively. We have given up and switched it `s just our brains to draft for the next 30 minutes drive and when we arrived Bassam had a really contented grin on his face - I accounted for is our time listening to "Good Deed" ;-)
The so-called junk yard a complete suburb of Abu Dhabi with the size of Köflach! Autbahnabfahrten own, complete infrastructure and so huge I tell you!
Here is everything that has a motor or time has been. There are separate "districts" of scrap city. One for Construction, the next for mopeds, another one for trucks and, of course, most of the cars.
Here you will find yourself in a completely different world compared to the capital Abu Dhabi, where glitters suddenly the only motor oil in a puddle, otherwise this dusty desert, oppressive heat and noise announced.
Somehow it was nice to see very nice that the Durschnittsabudhabianer his car not the same lighting, just because the tires during the last rain got wet, but sometimes used parts purchased and which themselves (if capability exists) installs.
Although, if one looked around here so .... I'd say about 60% of "junk cars" would be in the Graz Kärnterstraße after a little cosmetic treatment or loose for about 15 - 20 thousand change the owner (see photos) - This incredible shift in values! Then when we
5'ten the dealers had scoured after said replacement part, we were on target. A fat little Arab with a remarkable collection of real junk boxes was sure to 90% that he has lying around somewhere, and this part first we parked and got out. - Unfortunately, without having to turn our attention to the ground because now we were there ... 3 men with his feet high in the slack wax! Juhu I thought, that's what I've now used.
Before the parts dealer times came in the corridors was announced first, as always, here and chat with Bassam he had found a worthy conversation partner, but at the same time his master! - As he had to find after 10 minutes, for the small added thickness esm when it was much, placed on 3 sets, the rest of the conversation has completed successfully Bassam.
The Lord of the parts had 3 employees, which he drove with loud cries of the court, not because anything had been done - to fear except our part - rather because he was so accustomed to appear and his helpers appeared to the left to accept because they have moved at a speed at which you cut them loose hair and miss one or the other could have heart surgery. Kind of reminded me to the army, is there `s even a few Waschln who believe they should rumschreien with the recruits - the da 8 months from a corner waddle to the other - no sense, but without concentrating on motivation. Exactly the same in Green ...
came after 40 minutes then a bolt of motivation to the sensor 2000 angedackelt injection. Now it was really funny. Yaser (who knows really very well with his crate) opened the hood. There must be some kind of magnet have been possible, for every 3 employees plus came to the small thickness and even mouthed Bassam quick step closer towards the engine room - as the moths fly towards the light.
I first stopped at some distance, for an engine ??.... I've seen in my life!
As the discussions around the engine but were louder now and then every 5 scholars have confused shouting (Bassam course by far the loudest) I was interested in what's going on. Perhaps because it has in the area where Niente exactly what I would have otherwise seen you. I have therefore pushed through the crowd to catch a glimpse at what it could go for, because it was of course discussed in Arabic and as I understand the first board as to what it is turning.
To my disappointment, but only one engine was in sight, a rather dirty moreover, no little green alien, not a forgotten mother ... nothing!
The men discussed Namely as to who had the honor of the engine, the new old to miss part! Everyone wanted to do something, but since there were only a wrench and work alone is tricky enough, has it but the owner, so Yaser, will be successful and could lend a hand. have of course under the joint guidance of the spectators, each movement a OHH and lalala means which means NO produced. At some point, but it was done, the new part was installed and it was the test launch countdown started.
Gentlemen Start your engines ... I say it this way .... we came because the engine is running a little too lean because the sensor was over .... now after the installation of the new "old" part, would be the Mercedes of Yaser easily to the fire department provide for exercises with flue gas development. A black cloud of smoke, the oil and Iihresgleichen was looking (and probably still looking) formed around us and everyone was confused a little, what is there now probably gone wrong ... Engine - outcries!
The Arab moms have it well over the past generations failed to teach their Bubis that crying actually makes little sense, and so usually there are any exceptional situation in the life of an Arab usually only one volume: volleeeee Kannneeeeeee! (Of course not for all - but almost)
After many trials, the part off and the same (as is it fit in elsewhere) must be installed - by the way, but each time was now your turn! then suddenly it has worked. Allah has been kind to us, for we were now already beaten 3 hours here and I had the 1.5 liter of water, which I've cleverly taken out of the hotel, felt for 2 days already drunk. Hate my mouth felt like the skin of a kiwi and not within a vending machine or an oasis in sight. I would have again taken a sip of gasoline ('s also cheaper than water) but which causes bloating and afterwards I had no desire!
After the financial history was settled, we headed back to the way Abu Dhabi and I was richer by several findings: first
Never drive with Bassam in the same car, unless you have the two years spent with silent monks and do you love about each spoken word
second
1.5 liters of water evaporate like a drop in the ocean when you stand in the desert.
and 3
See that you learn the language faster mitschreien, because maybe in between very funny, if it is not serious and it's pure Gaude ...
so long .... makes it's good, I'll get back your
Stefan
