No Alcohol in Dubai?

I had dinner with Damien yesterday at Deira City Centre (on Melbourne's expense). He asked for the wine list... and the response he got was "sorry sir, we only have beer, non-alcholic beer" . Gee, see the look on his face. Haha.

We had our work function at the Novotel hotel today, then headed down to Le Meridian for some drinks. Yup. I had my first sip of alcohol in Dubai. Funnily, when I was leaving the pub, there was this guy all dressed in the traditional arabic dress (or whatever you call it), drinking a glass of wine. Maybe it's non-alcoholic wine.

Work has been good so far. I finally got myself a mobile number, and still hunting around for accommodation. May have to sleep in the dumps in 4 weeks if i don't find something quick!
