Went to Masdar City in Abu Dhabi for some sushi. It's an odd place - a self sustained city (it's its own city separate from Abu Dhabi) that is a university that runs on wind and solar power. Have a read about it here. It's a great idea and they have really tried to combine cutting edge technology with traditional elements - it's quite beautiful in spots and it was designed by Norman Foster's firm.

As they are a car-free place, you have to park just outside and take a computer controlled pod car into the centre. Here is a not very good photo of Matthew telling it where we want to go. I'll get a video of it's odd journey next time we are there.
Love it, and amazing that such a progressive endeavor has come to fruition in Abu Dhabi.
