Just as the summer sun is ascending to its throne of molten destruction upon the gulf region, I am ejecting (like a daring superhero) to spend a few months on assignment in NYC.

Will I be back in Dubai? Absolutely. Will I ever try the settling game there again? Probably not…

I am sitting outdoors at a café on Sunset Blvd in LA drinking a beer just after eating an amazing non Halal and definitely not Kosher meal. I am wearing jeans, a shirt, a light hoodie sweater thing, and neon blue Reebok Court Victory Pumps. Pauly Shore just finished his coffee 3 tables from me wearing a really weird headband… he was likely getting a caffeine fix after his workout at the Equinox gym next door.

Think the feel of this moment could be recreated at Ibn Battuta mall? I bet I could best this sitting at Pastis in the Meat Packing district in NYC.

No worries Team Dubai, I’ll be keeping my visa and work in the region active so be ready for “Oh shit Gary is in town” debauchery.

I am flying out in the first half of July.
