chill out

So whats happening in Dubai at the moment.

Well. Ramadan in soon over. The public holidays Eid al Fitr is coming up. Most of the companies close, and people have around 2-3 days vacation. However, with all the work we have at the moment, it looks like we are working over the holiday. Although it WOULD be nice to have one or two days off Im not complaining. The projects that we have going on right now are really interesting.

The part of my job that I like is creating the concepts for the different events that we do. Normally we get a brief from the client with information of the event, and what their objectives are. And from that we have a team that brainstorms ideas with everything from entertainment, decoration, hostesses costumes etc..

Right now we are planning a launch of a real estate that is taking place in the month of November. Last week we did all the film shootings for the event, and for the show. I got a little insight in the tv-production industry (which was really cool). I took care of the logistics, what we needed for the different scenes, the models, makeup and hair, and also what the models were going to wear.

For the weekends, well, the same as always, except that during Ramadan there are no nightclubs open. It's pretty cool though, more chilled out, drinking at different bars. Changes a bit. Yesterday we went to have Iftar at Ali Baba, a restaurant close to Dubai Marine. Mostly locals, Maroccan and Indians. Nice to see other places than 5 star hotels & expats. (No offence people) Went to a libanese restaurant to have some cocktails, then Tradervicks, and to finish off house party in the springs.

Tonight maybe cinema or dvd at the house after this hectic work week.
Nice to chill for a change..
