Queens day?
 
Maybe Madam Hari can answer this one...I have a Dutch friend here and she wants to go somewhere to celebrate it.

Any suggestions...I don't know of any Dutch bars in Dubai (or any bars that are specifically celebrating what is seems to be an insignificant day to the rest of the world)?

there's a celebration organised every year by the Nederlandse Vereniging...although that was perhaps last Thursday, come to think of it...
so fat lot of good does that do you...
I personally try and avoid any gathering of Dutch people, but I would think that there might be a few heading down to the Belgium Beerbar in Festival City...since that is the closest thing to something Dutch...

There is several events on the 30th of April.
In Abu Dhabi Hilton Escape is organizing one.
In dubai there is alot of private/public parties it can be known by either asking a dutch friend or calling the embassy. I only have the details for AD if anyone is intrested.
But the best event would be the one in hilton escape. If you want to be on the guestlist let me know i can sort that out :)

Appalling....

The bloke loses his job, can't afford rent, so he kills people?

Apparently, the Dutch driver involved has died of his injuries...
