When the RISE team arrived in Dubai we had one day off before work which was unfortunately wasted as we tried to acclimate to the time change.
For our first week we having been living in a resort bubble, completely disconnected from the traditional local culture. Today . . . we changed that
It’s another hot day in Dubai . . .and the construction continues
This building is located across the street and due the rapid progression in three short days I’ve decided to start documenting, will it be done before we leave??
and by toy . . . I mean this really amazing quadricopter
If you are like me . . . I had no idea what this was, a hybrid toy helicopter and video camera?. . . but infinitely cooler
controlled through GPS . . . it can fly extremely high (of course the team tested for validity), it has a homing device, it records video . . .I mean . . .
Today we mean business. . .
The RISE team spent this morning diligently working to find data outlining the US and UAE food & beverage and retail markets. With around seven weeks of work behind us, we still have a lot to learn and more work to put into our plan. . .
Lunch time we went our separate ways . .
Joey and Gina took a few minutes to relax. . .
I went town to our courtyard to read a book and grab a snack at the grocery store. . .
Travis went to a meeting for the Rotary Club of Dubai. . .
News Update. . . Joey now has luggage!
Day 2 . . . our team is continuing to settle in. . . which has proven to be rather amusing in our new habitat . .
Here is what we have learned . . .
