It’s been an exceptionally tough week, which is to be expected as everyone is working on overdrive towards the imminent opening for Qasr Al Hosn in Abu Dhabi. Great video on the Twitter feed.

@kaa Really neat video. (Sadly, it also confirmed that my Arabic listening comprehension has really atrophied :-( ) You’ve been involved on the project?

@smokey I guess like with any language, if you're not using it regularly you start forgetting things :) - I have the same issue with my Greek.

Yup, not been involved for a very long time, but I'm all in to help get this project over the line.

@kaa oh man, i remember the festival just before it closed! This should be fun. I miss this place.

@seishonagon that’s a while back now :). How long you been away from the UAE?
