My nicest memento of the celebration is the Spirit of the Union pin. And of course, this long weekend. 🙂
Edit: Added new photos as 3 December 2011

The following from one of my UAE-related books, Rags to Riches:
Wonderful coverage of UAE’s 40th day celebrations via Abu Dhabi TV. I had to record this inspirational part (lots of, actually!) wherein the Crown Prince Sheikh Mohammad danced with the locals. See that genuine beams.

What I admire about UAE is they think about the future. They educate their people properly and practical in their dealings. They know their oil won’t last but they already positioned themselves to be the center of commerce and tourism in the middle east.

Among the Middle Eastern countries, I do admire the UAE for its innovative and bold approach in urban planning and design. Not to mention the best night life & shopping there is in that part of the world!
