Strange Day in Dubai


On Sunday, I was off for the Easter. It is not common holiday in UAE but thanks to our company I enjoy extra free day.
I decided to enjoy this free day for exploring around and taking some pictures.

First I went to police station to correct the insurance number on one report before fun part of the day. I failed. They said it is not possible.

Couple weeks back I saw some real graffiti around Al Quzz Industrial Area, I went over there, drove around up and down. I saw some places I haven't seen before. still I couldn't find that graffiti area.

After double failure, I told myself "No problem. I might not fixed the report or couldn't find the graffiti but there is still interesting things at the JBR." I remember one post on Instagram about Paint Ball Art. it was described that you are shooting with paint ball on a canvas and here you have art. :) It sounds different and it was saying available till 21 st of April. I went JBR just because of that, walked around. and again failure. Nothing was there.

While I was walking I saw some announcement about that day's activity. I looked for that as well I might be looking for that little bit early.

At the end of the day, I couldn't see anything I intended. On the other hand, I enjoyed many other things which I was not expecting to see. Like this new (at least it is new to me) frog statue at JBR. :)

Emirates Jazz Festival - John Legend


This week we had 13th Dubai Jazz Festival here at the amphitheatre in Media City.
The festival started on Wednesday with Christina Perri and James Blunt,
On second day, Sting was on the stage after Lidsey Stirling.
on the third and the last day of the festival there were Esperanza Spalding and John Legend. We were not sure about our schedule so we bought tickets at last minute. I wish I could listen Sting as well here.
the final of the concert has a small surprise. 3 musicians showed up on the stage with Oriental instruments. while we were trying to figure out, who they are, Orientalist version of "all of me" started. I recorded with the mobile to post it here, but afterwards I found this record, which has better quality and full version. Enjoy the music
