On February 7th 2008 Chinese New Year comes around and it will be come the Year of the Rat. In the "Year of the Rat", I am told we can expect 12 months of plentiful opportunities and prospects not to mention being relatively free of turbulence, which is great to know especially as I'll be spending 2008, and possibly beyond, in the United Arab Emirates.

That's right, when Chinese New Year rolls around I will be spending my second day of a new chapter of my life in Dubai. After many MANY months of deliberating and planning, I finally booked a plane ticket and secured myself a job at a local PR agency, looking after another high profile technology player.

So life of late has been a mixture of relaxing time spent with the family, frantic packing and goodbye drinks with friends. I was lucky enought to secure some time off over Christmas to spend some quality time with my family before heading off to Tasmania for the Falls Festival.  Tasmania is such a beautiful place and I would recommend to any one who wants to exprience a gorgeous holiday with amazing food and atmosphere to visit Tasmania early January as the 

Falls

I'm one of those people who never dreams when they sleep, but of late I have been having nightmares.... zombies trying to eat my brains type nightmares.. which can only mean one thing... I'm stressed. Stressing out about moving no doubt. I think I have most things organised, but it has now reached the time where I have started actually saying goodbye to people and knowing it will be over 12 months before I see them again. But one thing I won't be saying goodbye to is you. While the content will no doubt have more of a 'living in Dubai' tinge to it, it will be interesting to also be able to discuss new media in an emerging market. Internet content is strongly regulated for pornography and for content that might be considered offensive in an Islamic state, so fingers crossed I won't be censored!

See you on the 'albiet it hot' flip side....
