Among the many fabulous things I’ve learned and experienced here, last night was pretty close to the top. We were invited by our wonderful friends, the Ambassador of Japan and his most wonderful and fun wife to celebrate the Emperor of Japan’s 80th birthday. *real invitation below.
Upon arrival, the ballroom was filled with other Ambassadors, Sheikhs, dignitaries and friends. The National Anthems of the UAE and Japan played and we all respectfully enjoyed the music. Then the prestigious sushi chefs from two top restaurants in Dubai began crafting sushi rolls and placing them on our plates. The fish had been flown in from Japan that morning! There were two buffet tables laden with other Japanese delicacies as well as a table with an enormous cake with the Japanese flag on it and other festive desserts.
The conversations were lively, the guests were stunning and the food was outstanding. What a fun Tuesday evening in Abu Dhabi.
Aloha,
