It sounds like the beginning of a joke, but it is the phrase that's described my second week in Dubai. Jochen and Mohammed have been doing a very good job showing me the ropes of Dubai nightlife. 
It has been quite an interesting trip. We usually get together after work start out at an Irish pub, and by the way, there are more Irish pubs here than there are in Baltimore, and if you know me, you know what that means! Our topics of discussion have been whats most fascinating. It started with race and
politics, has since moved on to religion and our purposes in life. The bottom line is, in anything, we are all the same. Whether it is our stuggles in youth to our desires as an adult. By then we're drunk and our attention turns towards our favorite local Philipino band. They play at the mariners club 7 nights a week. I dont know the name of the band, but they consist of 4 lead singers who all could be sisters and always have a themed attire.
Theres a lead guitarist, a bassist, drummer, and keys. The best thing about them is they play hard rock! Mostly American. Seeing 8 Phillipinos belt out "Freeird" or "Sweet Home Alabama" sitting in a club with Aussies, Brits, Egyptians, Palestinians, Germans, Asians and who else knows was quite a mind blowing experience. This is not to mention how good they all are. Often times they would switch instruments, pull out new instruments like a sax or a harmonica, or even play behind their heads, with their teeth, or with the mic stand!
Oh yeah, I also have an online photo album with much more than you see here:
