Livin' la vida loca!

The last week or so has been a busy one for young Daniel. Besides his Lagos and Colombo flights, he has operated the all-night Mumbai twice in three days, and been up to pussy's bow in duty-free sales! Now to relieve the stress that comes from being a young, modern professional in this here busy world, Daniel has been out alot of late. Normally his nights out are not for blog consumption, but here we have a small highlights package of the last few....

NIGHT ONE: SHO CHO'S at Dubai Marine Beach Resort. The players: Daniel, Nicole and Julian with support from Chantal and Cristina


Jules owns the show - with Cristina, Nicole and Chantal.... then the rest are combinations of the above with a bit of Dan thrown in the mix!


NIGHT TWO: ZINC at Crowne Plaza on Sheikh Zayed Rd. The players: Daniel and Franck with support from Fiona


Let it be said now: Fishbowls should be banned. either that or made the national beverage. A highly potent cocktail of 5 or 6 alcohols, red bull, lemon juice and blue stuff that sends you spinning in minutes. Enough juice for 3 to 4 people at a time. If you like to share your drinks and share your hangover, get a fishbowl into you NOW!


NIGHT THREE: HARRY GHATTOS at Emirates Towers. The players: Daniel, Nicole and Marcos with support from Diego, Jeremy and Zed (fare)

I walked in with the intention of having a quick beverage with my friends before departing to Brisbane. I thought we'd have a bit of a laugh at the wannabes singing the regular karaoke standards. I thought I'd be home by 12.


Let it be said, Diego kicks my karaoke ass!


By 1.30 I had polished off four vodka/bitter lemons, and subjected the bar to average-at-best renditions of World Of Our Own, She Bangs, A Whole New World and You Raise Me Up. It's now 5am and I'm writing this, less than an hour from leaving for the airport to fly to Brisbane. Someone shoot me now!
