Making Friends in Dubai
I woke up around 5:30pm and man was I tired, but my power nap felt good. I gave Steve a call and I think I woke him up from his nap too. We decided to grab dinner and I told him I’d meet him in one of the Dubai UAE luxury hotels and have dinner there. It took me a little longer to get ready, because I needed a shower and change clothes, but I made it to the lobby in time. Steve decided to take a few members of his team out to dinner too, I didn’t mind, I’ve met them earlier and they were a ton of fun.
We hung out at the hotel bar and had few cocktails while we waited for a few more guys to show up. The bar was filled with Europeans, Americans, Arab and Asians, which was great, I was so tired of being in the company of my own white self. The bar was more of a British pub, which was great also, made me fill like home and more at ease. The others finally arrived and I was introduced to Robbie and Michel (his wife). Robbie drove us and I was really excited to have dinner at one of the better restaurants in Dubai. The restaurant was really fancy and really expensive, Steve told me not to worry, since he was treating me. We finally got to eat around 10pm! We didn’t make reservations, so we headed to the bar until a table was ready for a party six. All our dishes were really well done, but the best thing was the aquarium in the center. It has all kinds of fish and it even had a shark!
Robbie was crashing after his meal, so he drove us all back to our respective hotels, which was very nice of him and his wife. Steve told me he would like to see me tomorrow too, if that would be okay with me, and I said yes! I went to bed knowing I wouldn’t get too much sleep tonight, because of all the thinking of Steve.
