Birthday Bash

Yesterday was our colleague Marian's 40th birthday. She held a birthday bash in the Moscow Hotel.

Hee. This is her birthday gift from me.
The birthday party was great. There were DJs, music, food and drinks. I ate and danced but didn't drink. Drinking alcohol in Dubai is a planned operation.

First, there is zero tolerance in drink driving. Jail sentence and deportation are guaranteed for DUI offenders. Secondly in Dubai, few places are accessible by walking alone. Hence taking cabs or appointing a designated driver is the solution in getting around Dubai during the festive season.

Well, I am a total believer in "If you drink, don't drive". Be a responsible driver. Imagine if your loved ones was killed or injured in a car accident because the other driver was DUI, how frustrated and angry you would be. It is never funny.

Don't do it to you and your loved ones. Don't do it to others.
