I've been invited by the Abu Dhabi government's investment fund for an interview, so that was a photo of Dubai Marina. :) They flew me over here all the way from Vancouver with 1 week's notice for 2 long days of interviews. I'm heading into my second one today. It's a bit hectic! I've lived in the region before as a child (7 years in Saudi Arabia) but it would definitely be a huge change from anything I've known in my adult life: Vancouver, New York, London, Paris... Well, let's see first if I would even get an offer, but it's kind of exciting to go through this process!!<br /><br />x Milsters<br /><br />(http://littlepiecesoflight.blogspot.fr/)Little Pieces of Lighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11938515387692423056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26546687.post-419092156027944532012-10-07T11:38:50.801-04:002012-10-07T11:38:50.801-04:00It is not a universal wish to be as skinny as the ...It is not a universal wish to be as skinny as the French when that state is accompanied by cruelty which is often the case.
