Well, the Dubai residency was certainly a surprise. And in more ways than one! The pace was certainly not as hectic as London, and for the most part the group was able to go out and actually see the city, find time to know more about each other, and ourselves, appreciate some not so obvious things, and welcome if not tolerate some of the more confusing aspects of living an international life. I’ve mulled over a whole lot of new things from the course of that week, and as the whole experience has left me with a rather dense collection of inner musings, I am left with little choice than to split up my next few blog posts.

I may have spent the entire residency with the wrong group of people.
I met up with a friend of mine on the last evening I was there, just before heading off to the airport. I first met the guy some 5 years ago, and he was just some dude, my best mate’s cousin, travelling around the world with his fiancé. Great fella though, we ended up drinking Beijing dry. He went back to Ireland and was about to live happily ever after, up until his wedding was called off right on the day. He moved to Dubai after that.
