So second week in Dubai and its started to sink in that I'm not on
vacation and I am actually living here. So have been attempting to eat healthy
and forced myself to gym once for some horribly moderate exercise.
Induction is finally over and we will officially start our
training on Sunday. Very excited for it although it will be some very busy
weeks ahead with lots of studying. So taking this into account I will be taking full
advantage of this weekend. Weekend is Friday and Saturday in Dubai so having a
puza Thursday does not require you to crawl into work the next feeling like
death :)
For induction this week we were split into two bigger groups for
Wednesday and Thursday and the 2 groups swopped activities on either day. What
we did on Wednesday the other group did Thursday and vice versa.
So because we were having corporate induction on the Thursday our
day was longer than the other groups. So weekend plans were entrusted to our Italian
building mate. After getting out of the induction I made a call to check that
he had actually organized something and the conversation went something like
this:
Me: Hi Fabio
Fabio: Ciao Jessie
Me: What are the plans for tonight?
Fabio: Don’t worry Jessie I have made plans.
Me: Really? Good job, what are the plans?
Fabio: We might meet people from other batches maybe somewhere in
Dubai.
Me: So…maybe we meet people and maybe we don’t and this might
happen in Dubai?
Fabio: Yes, I’ll phone you later.
Gotta love Italian planning.
Anyway it turns out there was more to this planning. We had a
planned meeting time of nine which became nine forty five because Claudia, my
Romanian building mate, works on her own Claudia clock J We went
through to a club on the 4th floor of the Address Hotel on the Dubai
Marina. It was ladies night so cosmos for free all night. Needless to say my
head is throbbing as I write this post.
It was a big group of people from our training, probably around 30
of us in all. Everybody looks so different, all the girls looking so much
prettier being able to let their hair down from the ugly bun and scrunchie and
minus the hooker red lipstick.
Dubai has an awesome night life and we have vowed to try a
different club every weekend…whether this actually happens will yet to be seen.
So another week down, will spend today lazing on the beach and
tomorrow getting my work done for Sunday. Not such a bad life in Dubai J
