Tell me it's a joke!
At the nurses' station in the hospital, there's always a general practitioner doctor on duty to take ward rounds, check patients' vital signs and to provide general care to the patients when the consultant specialists are not around. On Wednesday, the doctor on duty noticed me, the new nursing aid on board and asked me if I'm new. Yes I am, I said, and told her how I'm a medical student and I'm on my vacation and was getting bored at home so I joined the hospital as a nursing aid. She must have registered surprise because she asked me, "What kind of a joke is this?" She found it funny that I'd actually want to spend time in a hospital in my vacations when I didn't have to.
Anyway. Last night we went to Kandy Club in the Crowne Plaza Hotel on Sheikh Zayed Road. It's an overpriced desi nightclub - entry is AED 80, which is a little more than £10. Just to compare, in Newcastle, I pay £1 on Skint Night in Liquid, 80p on Born in the '80s Night in Digital, up to about £7 for gigs inside other nightclubs, which are quite fun nights mostly. So 80 bucks is quite a shitty deal.
What was even more shitty is that when we got into Kandy at around 23.30, it was bloody empty. I mean, there were bunches of people standing here and there, but it was empty for the most part. It was a joke, really.
People started coming in later so it was alright. They played Mauja and Jhoom Barabar Jhoom later so I was quite happy because it was reminiscent of the IGF.
Masooma, Kevin, Abeer and me.
I don't think clubbing in Dubai is such a great idea. Passive smoking, your jeans getting wet because some drunk cunt can't keep her drink in her hands, ridiculous entry prices.. it's just not worth it.
