Yanni Live in Dubai

The tallest giant in music performs next to the tallest building in the world.

I am a bit envious of the people who live in the buildings around the park, as they got a super view of the performance at zero (extra) cost. Still, at least I managed to get a ticket, considering how fast they got sold out. Apparently, all the restaurants around the park island were fully booked that night as well, as fans decided that they would at least get a distant glimpse from their tables there.

Oktoberfest Dinner

Had an awesome Oktoberfest dinner at the Brauhaus in Jumeirah Rotana.



And I've never seen cowbells being played before. Regardless, this is an impressive performance.
