Ramadan

Just remembered that I didnt write about my weekend yet.
I went to an expo called Fusion 06 at the Dubai Airport Expo. Fusion is a fashion, music and lifestyle expo. On the first day of the expo there was a lot of people. There were fashion shows, breakdancers, Djs... Though when Ramadan started on Saturday, there was no music or entertainment allowed until after Iftar.

One thing that I love about Dubai is all the people you meet. This weekend I met so many interesting people from all around the world. Kyrgyzstan, Tatar (Russia), Nepal, Uzbekistan, Palestine... I'm amazed of all their stories. However, one thing that people have in common here is the fact that Dubai is a transit point. No one seems to have roots here, nor want to have roots here. Most of the people are just staying for a couple of years to make money and then move on to another place. I still havent met someone who has said that they want to stay here...

Ramadan started on Saturday. I have to get used to the fact that drinking, eating etc. is not allowed outside until after sunset. You cant even drink water at the gym (?!?) They have designated a special area where you can drink water. I guess that I have to have a couple of days of adaption. Can't wait until this weekend, going for Iftar and sheesha in one of the Ramadan tents.
