One in a Million...

If there was a perfect setting, surrounded by the perfect soundtrack and lighting, then it happened yesterday at Emirates Palace lawns.

In a place where it rarely rains and people dont get that excited about concerts, I simply dont have enough words to describe yesterday's night Coldplay concert.

It was raining like crazy, lightning and thunder surrounding the arena for the entire night... Still, everyone stayed put and enjoyed an ecstactic evening as Chris Martin and his band sang all of our favorite songs and joyfully played with the "surrealism of the moment".

We sang, we danced, we celebrated Earth Hour, we laughed, and not even the fact that we were completely drenched and shivering stopped us from smiling and having a great time!

Definitely the cherry on the top of an already amazing weekend in Abu Dhabi!

Two worlds colliding...

As anyone living abroad knows, my life is made of two realities, two worlds.
My world in Dubai and my world in Lisbon.
Each one encapsulates different settings, different places to call home, different favorite places & different group of friends...

Two days ago I raced down my apartment building, to open the door between both worlds and see them collide.
I awed in excitement as I look into those faces...of old, dear friends, set across a setting that is not theirs!
Most of my best friends from Portugal are in town and I feel like a child, who cant stop smiling at the beauty of it all...
I took them across some of my favourite places and opened their eyes into "my other world". I reminesced about all our conversations and time spent together, this time against a different backdrop, like the Burj Dubai or Barasti.

Pure bliss would be an understatement.
