Jennifer Lopez soon…
November 22 is the date where the pop star JLO will rock Dubai. Tickets were sold out very fast upon the announcement of her coming to Dubai. However I managed to get one from my lovely friend. Hope this time it will be organized well.
In the past two years Dubai has become the ultimate destination for fabulous night life and even international stars are happy to perform in this part of the world.
Obama for another 4 years…
After a tense and bitter campaign, Obama rolled to reelection Tuesday night, winning a new chance to repair the nation’s economy and fulfill the promises of hope and change he made four years ago. Obama is the 44th president of the United States and first African American to hold such a position.
I really hope the US will change their foreign politics towards ARABS.
The Grand Avenues…
Too much hype recently going on regarding the opening of Avenues Phase 3 which will be tomorrow morning at 10am. The new phase is going to be huge in space and retails outlets brought in. Reviewing few blogs about the opening was really impressing to see the brands that Al Shayea is bringing to Kuwait. Apparently no need to shop outside Kuwait when everything is here. Some of the major stores opening are Harvey Nichols, COS, PINK, JO Malone, Cheesecake factory, Red Lobster…and much more. I think I will be able to go next week only just to avoid the massive crowd that will invade the new avenues.
