Kuwait - finally

January 21, 2008 | Filed Under Main, Music |

Got my passport in hand and fly out today. (yay!)

For my last day in Dubai… well, most of the day was spent sitting depressed in my room, doing laundry (4 hours!) and watching George Clooney movies. Later, I went back to Waxy O’Connors for dinner (and beer). Actually, Waxy’s has a terrific chef. His prime rib and roast duck breast are cooked to perfection, the vegetables are always crisp and fresh, and the bread-and-butter pudding is to die for. Pretty good stuff for “bar food”.

Then it was back to Rock Bottom for the rest of the night to see my favorite local band and drink “bullfrogs” (four liquors, blue curacao, and Red Bull). The band – King Gorilla – were in great form and much looser than last time I was there. I talked to the bassist – Mike – and he told me that they were all from Canada (Montreal) and had only been in country for two weeks (like me!). I wish them the best of luck on their stay and if anyone out is going to Dubai (you know you are), definitely look them up. And have a bullfrog for me…

Next stop – work!
