My new assignment - Abu Dhabi

Filed under Current Affairs

    Late last year, my direct manager has been talking to me about going to the Middle East. I thought it was just a dream, but today it has been realized. Abu Dhabi it is.
    Abu Dhabi - the capital of the United Arab Emirates or short UAE, is said to be the world’s richest city by this website. Just 2 hours drive from the former richest city of the word Dubai;- "Welcome to Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates and the
richest city in the world. The emirate’s 420,000 citizens, who sit on
one-tenth of the planet’s oil and have almost $1 trillion invested
abroad, are worth about $17 million apiece. (A million foreign workers
don’t share in the wealth.) Yet most people couldn’t find Abu Dhabi on
a map." LOL at the last statement which is true. 9 our 10 ppl you ask does not know where the heck is this crazy place. But in the next few years, I gurantee it’ll be on the lips of world.
