Good things come to those who wait! Sometimes the preparation of a master thesis or better to say the search for the project itself, equals the creation of a good red wine: One has to tax one’s brain for a while until things are ripe for decision. Now it is due. The subject matter of social media will determine my
Looking into the press makes it obvious: There must be a chance of making money in this emirat.

Whereas the press in Europe seems to be downsizing, the Gulf states are still publishing. The picture gallery
Touché! Until now Dubai has beaten the pants off its brother Abu Dhabi. This time, however, Abu Dhabi won the race. The Formular One gives a guest performance this Sunday over there.

In the course of the conversation with Sultan BinNasser al-Sawaidi there is not the slightest hint of a real crisis. “The (the inhabitants of Dubai) do not consume much …”. And: “Automotive trade is especially
