Tuesday June 17, 2008 The only two languages anyone needs to speak
I enjoyed the comment made by the MD of one of our partners today.
'There are only two languages anyone needs to speak.'
'Which are they?'
'Arabic and Pashto'.
'Why's that?'
'They speak Arabic in heaven and Pashto in hell - you're going to end up in one of those places so you'd better prepare!'

One of the things I love about Dubai is the total lack of security anywhere. You just breeze in and breeze out of anywhere. Quite different from the hotel I'm in in Islamabad today where each floor has an armed guard sitting by the lift.
