Yes, I had a busy weekend. Church on Friday morning (Friday is the holy day here), sand golfing Friday afternoon, dancing Friday night, and visiting Meena Market on Saturday. Of all that I did, I think Friday's trip to a dance club on Yas Island was the biggest adventure.
First, my co-workers and I decide to go to Yas Island (about a 30 minute ride from downtown Abu Dhabi) after we've just spent hours drinking and golfing in the hot, desert sun. We pre-game until about 11:45pm, at which point my instincts tell me to throw in the towel and take my tail to bed! But, I follow along and hop into 1 of 3 cabs for the treck to Yas Island, to a club at a relatively unknown location. After falling asleep in the cab, we arrive to Yas Island, a ghost town of over-the-top hotels and Ikea. Before entering the hotel, we realize we are not at the correct location. We must get back into 3 more cabs and go to Yas Island Hotel and ask the concierge where Allure night club is. He says it's at the hotel, but we need to take a cab. "Why take a cab to a club that's inside your hotel?!" we ask. Well, the hotel is so big, it's too far to walk to the club. Another 3 cabs later, we arrive. By this time, I'm thinking "I should've followed my instincts and stayed my tail at home!"
But then, I stopped and thought "What else would I be doing? Sleeping?! After all this trouble, I'm gonna have a darn good time!" Which I did! After asking the DJ to play some "...you know, top 40, Hip-Hop and R&B" my co-workers and I danced the night away in a beautiful club, in a beautiful hotel. Listen below to the plethora of music selections we enjoyed. Some are quite, ummmm, unexpected?
