The Story of the Map

I have lived on Yas Island in Abu Dhabi for many years, and I keep noticing the same thing: friends and people I know have no real idea what is here. They know the Ferrari roof and maybe the mall. They don’t know about the concerts at Etihad Live, the club inside the painted drum at Yas Bay, the quiet golf communities, or the whale that swims over SeaWorld at night.
