Merry Xmas !!

This year Xmas is a bit different to me than all previous years . I used to celebrate christmas in Abidjan with my friends , but since i got back to Egypt, i didn't celebrate it for 7 years .
This year, it reminded me with all the past .
First, as almost all Estonians of Real24 were going back home for holidays, we all had a nice dinner party in Margus' place on the 20th with a Santa Claus giving aways Xmas presents . After that we had a wonderful dinner full of nice Estonian food and a nice Turkey made by Chef Kadri and Chef Theresa . Thank you all very much for this unforgettable and lovely night !!

Then on Xmas Eve, the 24th, Hanan and me went with Molinex and Rico's family to a nice place in madinat Jumeira called Khaimat al Kasr . We had allot of fun .

My real friends !

These last days, i am experiencing a very nice feeling of having all my old dear friends around me . Actually i was expecting this christmas and new year's eve to be very boring for me and Hanan for many reasons . The first reason is that we were supposed to travel to Egypt for holidays by end December but unfortunately it won't happen just because Hanan got a new job and is not yet allowed to take holidays . And the second reason is that all our friends in Dubai are leaving the country for Christmas .
But as i was saying things are getting much better as i am surprisingly getting contacts from my old friends in many countries . i will try to categorize them :

1- Ivory coast Friends

- Paul Emile, my friend since school came from France to dubai a while ago and we are spending some awesome time together in shish cafes and pubs . And by the ways he is the only one of all my friend who is not leaving dubai for holidays


- I got some good news from my dear friend wissam from Abidjan that he got a baby girl called Thalya . I really couldn't beleive that he is a father now !!

- I also got phone calls from Salah and Mazen and i was extremely happy for that i have lost contact with Mazen it's been 7 years . Mazen is back to Abidjan after 7 years in Lebanon and salah also is back to abidjan 6 years in Canada (left is Mazen, Right is Salah)


- My dear friend Zarah invited me to her wedding as getting married to her boyfriend in Canada . We have constantly been in contact since we both left Abidjan
- My dear friends Houssam and Kamal called me this week from Abidjan also, just to say hi ! it was just very nice from them.
So that was it concerning my friends from Abidjan , i just wanna tell them that i love u guys sooo much and i miss u even more and hope i can see u the soonest possible whether in dubai or in Abidjan
2- Egypt friends

- 2 days ago i received a phone call and upon answering i heard "surpriiiiiiiiise !!" and it was my dear friend "Rico" Riham , she was also the best prof i ever had in University . She is now base in England and came to dubai for christmas holidays .

-Another phone call showing "No Number" and it was my dear friend Sherif Abdelwahed who is telling me that he is coming to dubai by the end of this week and he will stay here for around 1 month .

- Again a "No Number" call and the weird thing is that they were both yesterday, but this time it was my friend Moly his name is mohamed but heis nick name is Moly or Moulinex :) he is also based in England now and he was also telling me that he is coming to dubai on wednesday for holidays . isn't that AWESOME ???!!!!!

I just wanna tell them that we will bring back alexandria nights in Dubai as it's been a long time we didn't all gather .

So now , as you can see , allot of friends are leaving but also allot others are coming soon and that means that we will still have a very nice christmas and new years eve !

I love surprises and i thank all my friends for making me these very nice ones and for always thinking of me across countries ;)
