About 12 people came over to David and Adnan's flat for dinner last night. A really fascinating group of people with such different backgrounds and perspectives. It was a good mix of men and women who have lived in so many different places around the world including Dubai, Pakistan, New York, Lebanon, Paris, Rome, and lots of other places.
I particularly enjoyed meeting two Pakistani women who are both accomplished professionally, married, mothers, and Moslem. Their perspective on the Arab world was eye-opening. One of the ladies grew up in Dubai from the time she was 4 until 17 when she moved to Boston for college.
The mother of one of David's friends joined us. She has lived all over the world including 8 years in Paris, 11 years in Rome, time in Lebanon, and is currently in the Eastern U.S.
Two of the women work in the fashion industry. One of them is a writer for Elle Magazine U.S. who covers fashion weeks around the world.
And, at least half of the people in attendance spoke excellent French.
