Dubai Update: November v1

These past few weeks have been really exciting over here in Dubai, never a dull moment, that’s for sure. Events, holidays, concerts, work… No rest for the wicked!

~ Halloween ~
Halloween – one of my favorite holidays! So we went all out, and made the most of it… Friday October 28th, we went to Chi The Lodge with Heather, her husband Matt, their friend Andy for their annual Halloween party. I was extremely impressed by the costumes, and the effort people had made – wow! Some costumes actually truly scared me to the point I had to look away, and some were majorly impressive – like the Predator, or BumbleBee Transformer, who both won for best individual costumes. We were dressed as 80’s punk rockers for this party.

On Saturday night, our friend Sumit was hosting a Halloween party at his house. Not too many people were dressed up, but it was nice to gather with friends and meet new people. I dressed up as a cat.

Finally, on Monday October 31st – Halloween night – we went to the Cavalli Club for their dinner package with Sumit, Rasha, Heather & Matt. While there weren’t many people for the actual dinner, the club quickly filled with dressed up partiers having a spooktacular time. The club did an impressive job at theming the party. For instance, upon arrival we were given blood injections to be drank from a syringe – it was really blood mary, the decorations were quite well done, the food was Halloween themed, and they had acrobatics from the ceiling…We danced the night away, enjoyed the costumes & had a great time.

 
We also found a few stores that sold pumpkins… The nicer bigger pumpkins were rather expensive & I certainly wasn’t going to enjoy carving a $30 pumpkin! We ended up getting one each at Carrefour for only $5, and while they were small, they were still fun to carve. I did mine as a cat to match my outfit.
