We are going out to dinner tonight. We are leaving the hotel complex, and actually going out into Abu Dhabi. We have been working loooooong, hard days, trying to do pre-production, production, hiring, organizational development, budgeting, and designing all at the same time. Enough! We are going out. I picked a sushi place at a hotel (everything is at hotel here), and we are going to eat something other than boring hotel food. :) Though there is a pub here at the hotel complex called Cooper's that we hang out at a lot. The bummer is, you could be anywhere. Chicago. New York. London. Anywhere. Not that sushi at a restaurant in the Millennium chain hotel is exactly "local flavor," at least it is out in the city.
We are living at the edge of town...near the international airport, and also, luckily enough, near the Grand Mosque, which is a gorgeous, grand, classy building. We drive by it every day and every night on the way to and from the stadium. It is painted in blue light at night - a sight to behold. One day I would like to take a taxi there, get out to take some photos, and then drive back home to continue working. That's about as much time as we have for sightseeing at this point. We look at the travel brochures in the lobby and dream about a bedouin camp experience in the desert, or even riding camels, or heck, renting and driving a car on the F1 racetrack in town. (Don't worry mom, I won't do that!). We could also go on the roller coaster at Ferrari World...it's the fastest in the world.
But for now, we will settle for sushi, and maybe a drive-by of the Grand Mosque.
Gotta go meet my team. Love to you all.
