Remember years ago, you were a cute talented kid singing in a seedy club just cause you liked singing and wanted an audience? My (then) boyfriend who worked at the same club would ask me to give you a lift once every now and then when you didn't have a car and I could never remember where your place was? LOL
Well... look at you now ;-)

a) It is sooo cooool that you knew this guy before he made it big, although I must admit I have never heard of him, thats just wicked.
b) ROFL at the people waving CELL PHONES as light in the air with their arms. Its just such a funny sight, and such a symbol of our technology-driven time. Hehe, made me laugh out loud to myself... and the dog.
The cellphone thing made me laugh too, I haven't seen anything like that to be honest. I guess there were fire hazards so people couldn't use lighters, lol. I bet most of them had lighters though, since Greece has a frightening percentage of smokers!
I am not surprised that you don't know Michalis - he's a Greek star, even though he did tour Canada in 2006 and all his shows were sold out within days.
Melina,
Welcome to my blog :)
And no, I am not joking. It's not a big deal, really. We weren't close friends :P
Dot,
That was for the lack of something to say? LOL Your Greek (I assume that's what it is) is remarkable...
Hi QC, this comment is not linked to your post, sorry about it!. Let me explain: We are a couple evaluating moving from Doha to Dubai. We lived there before for a few years, then moved to Doha and after 6 months, my wife and I get offers in Dubai. In these months we made friends and enjoyed Doha, now we are almost back in "bedu" mode, packing our things on the camels and heading back there.
Now that you are in Dubai, and having lived in Doha for some time, how do you find Dubai compared to Doha?, is there anything you would do to go back to Doha?.
Doha creates some expectations that have some weight in evaluating a move: the city is growing, probably there will more parks (we miss Safa, Mushrif, Creek and Jumeirah parks), the economics of the country (Qatar) are apparently better on the long term thanks to the gas reserves, insha'llah Ikea will open a store too ...etc.
Regarding moving from Doha to Dubai or from Dubai to Doha - there isn't really a good advice that I could give you. It depends on what you like more. I loved Doha and I miss it a lot, but now I realise that it is mostly people that I miss, not the place itself. In terms of the quality of life Dubai is light years ahead of Doha. It is also much more fun, with plenty things to do. But the atmosphere is very different. If you are into hustle and bustle - come back to Dubai. If you prefer more of an Arabic culture and influence - stay in Doha. In any case, do come and visit Dubai again to make up your mind. If there are any specific issues you'd like me to help you with - feel free to email me or send me a private message through my forum, Qatar Blah Blah - you'll find the link on the left side bar on my blog. Hope I can be of help!
And if you decide to come to Dubai I'd be happy to brush up my Spanish skills with you guys! :P
