On Thursday’s, I share pictures about ‘Echos of my Neighbourhood.
I would like to invite you to participate. The challenge is quite simple.
Every Thursday, share a photo of bits and pieces of wherever you are at any point in time. It could be houses, backgrounds of your neighbourhood, activities and so forth and you can tag it Echos of my Neighbourhood, add my link to your post so that I will get the ping from your post.
Every other Thursday, I will publish a post with the links of all those who participated the previous week.
This is just a fun way of getting to see more of the World around us through your eyes, since we cannot all be at those places, we can at least see them through you.
A better part of my last week until this Tuesday was spent between the Iranian Hospital and having a little birthday dinner.
The pictures above are some parts of The Iranian Hospital Dubai. An International hospital affiliated to the Iranian Red Crescent/Red Cross. It’s among the top five relief agencies in the World.
No one likes going to the hospital, not for fun and spending time in a dinghy one would only make it worse.
The Iranian Hospital’s service was very professional, polite, prompt and I found no reason whatsoever to grumble throughout the days they attended to us. I was impressed.
You even have a schedule screen that tells you what’s going on and when you will be attended to. The cafe had hot meals all through and even several bowls of pretty species of goldfish to admire or to buy.
My daughter wanted one, I wouldn’t have minded several goldfish, but we don’t have a brilliant goldfish handling history.
The place runs smoothly at all times *even by 3 a.m. It’s like a well oiled machinery and they made a panicky mothers heart much calmer. Somehow, we managed to find time to hang out a bit at The Dome for dinner and eat lots of birthday cake.

Last Week Echoes gave us some peeks of different neighbourhoods, hop on let’s go see and do show some of yours 🙂
Hot brews of coffee in all sizes and even as blings. Seattle is the place to go for rich, decadent brews. Just drive thru for a look see.
Write them all more echoes of other parts of Dubai from a neighbour. It’s truly an amazing World how we connect online.
Sicily lovely sights and echoes of Sicily. I would like to visit this Italian city some day.
Giggles & Tales Well I never knew this. Fish feet spa where they fish get to feed on the cuticles of your feet. I already feel ticklish at the thought.
This and That with Sarah while she tinkers with her laptop.
Thoughts and entanglements Fabulous and interesting pictures from Brooklyn. I like those spangled underwear 😉
Dollops of heedful ramblings These are total and beautiful eye candy.
Mercury colliding Who do you think will win? Let’s take a vote on this. No it’s not Trump or Hilary 😉
I hope you enjoy the views.
Regards.
P.S. I hope that I didn’t miss someone’s ping back?
great pics.

Thanks for sharing! Here in the U.S., I would probably never see a news story or any positive imagery of Iran shown. I truly enjoy being exposed to multiple perspectives of places around the world, so MUCHAS GRACIAS for these pictures! Oh, and I gave you a shout out in my post today. There is even a picture of part of my hometown in the post! And I didn’t even know in advance you were planning to share local pics on a Thursday! CHEERS! https://lasamaritanablog.wordpress.com/2016/03/17/i-give-props-to-those-who-deserve-it/

I actually would have never thought that these were pictures of a hospital (well except for the ambulance). They look a hotel of some sort. Probably because over here hospitals look emotionless office buildings. These look beautiful.

What a beautiful Hospital! Nothing like the clinical setting that I spent several days in a few weeks ago! I do think that our surroundings help the healing process. Along that line, I’ve been working for a few days on the sounds od my neighborhood…actual echoes if you will. Here’s the view/sounds of my neighborhood for this week! Kat

It really is very smart and hardly smells of the traditional hospital. I must say they are doing a decent job. I agree with you that the environment does help our healing. You are quite innovative. That’s a brilliant idea 🙂

It looks very modern and state of the art, much like New York Hospital-Cornell in the city. It’s huge and feels like a hotel also:)

We used to go to the Iranian hospital in Dubai and I echo your sentiments – they were professional and always spot on with diagnoses. Hope you are all well now.
