Postcard from Dubai

Spent 3 days in Dubai, to speak at a conference and hang around some seminars and meet clients. I worked in Kuwait in 2003, so know the region a little. Love the place. Arabs are very similar to Greeks in many ways.

And George W Bush strolls into town on my first day. So they declared a public holiday and closed the main roads. Of all the towns in all the world, on all the dates, he has to walk into mine.

b

Met my cousin Pani who is working here for a while, for dinner, along with a work buddy, Twiggsy, who has lived and worked here for 8 years.

The building development is at break-neck speed. All power to them. I reckon in 2050, Dubai will look like the set of blade runner.
