One of the great things about living in Dubai (and indeed when we were in Hong Kong) is that it is a melting pot for many different cultures. Tonight was a great example as we were invited by our next door neighbours to their “Cologne Carnival” party.
Sadly we had not been informed that this required fancy dress but nevertheless we had a lovely time mixing with the various Minions, barmaids, and disco queens around the swimming pool. The range of nationalities present was a real microcosm of Dubai - ME, India, Sri Lankan, European including UK and Irish and the temperature was absolutely perfect.
It is also Diwali, so our community is lit up like Blackpool illuminations - with Halloween only recently finished - there is a definite party feeling when I am driving home from work.
