El Sol de Mexico: Luis Miguel

July 16th, 2011

Luis Miguel Gallego Basteri was born in 1970 in Puerto Rico to an exceptionally talented family. His father, Luisito Rey was a Spanish singer and his mother, Mercella Basteri an Italian actress. Sadly, when Luis was just a teen his mother disappeared. Luis’s father took over the rearing of he and his two younger brothers, quickly establishing himself as the manager of his oldest son. Elvis Presley had always been an icon the Basteri home, but after Luis’s mother disappeared his father strongly encouraged Luis to study every film, recording and performance of the performer.

Early in Luis Miguel’s life the family moved to Mexico. Luis identifies himself as Mexican with Italian and Spanish origin, proudly singing the folk songs of those cultures. At the tender age of 11 Luis released his first album entitled Un Sol. At age 15 he won second place in the San Remo Music Festival. He toured many Latin American countries, including Chile, Argentina and Venezuela.

In 1990 Luis made a successful transition from child performer to adult singer with his third album 20 Anos. He toured and sung for several sold out shows all over Mexico, Latin America and the world. This third album sold 60,000 copies in just the first week, resulting in two singles hitting number one on Billboard’s Hot Latin Tracks in 1990.

In 1993 Luis Miguel won a Grammy Award for his fifth album, Aries. The accomplishment earned him attention from many North American musicians such as Frank Sinatra, who invited Luis to join him on a duets album. In 1996 he received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and immediately after that recorded Suena; which became the main theme for Disney’s the Hunchback of Notre Dame. During his career, Luis has recorded 32 albums and ten music videos. Of those albums, three have been Diamond Discs, 304 Platinum Discs, 34 Gold Discs and 16 singles have achieved number once status on the Billboard Hot Latin Tracks.

Luis Miguel has had an illustrious career spanning 25 years and almost all music genres including pop, bolero, mariachi and romantic ballads. He is considered among the top male singers in the world, and the main star from Latin America. Luis Miguel’s successful transition from child star to a gifted international singer is part of his success, which was largely due to his wide vocal range and charismatic performance abilities. All those hours studying Elvis Presley clearly made Luis Miguel what he is today. That begs the question: Is Luis Miguel the Latin Elvis?

Satellite Radio: How Much Does It Cost?

July 14th, 2011

Satellite radio is highly popular these days and it is growing in popularity more and more every day. If you are not certain what satellite radio is, you can look at it like cable or satellite television. In essence, satellite radio is a subscription only service. It has a colossal assortment of radio stations that are not accessible on the ordinary AM or FM services.

If you are wondering about how much satellite radio costs, then the answer is the maddening one: it depends. It depends, because there are a number of variables, such as the apparatus itself, installation fees and monthly fees. Equipment from the various manufacturers varies a lot as well.

For example, Bose is more expensive than a Chinese device from Walmart. Installation charges vary depending on where you live and who you use and the monthly fee will depend on which package or bundle you select. So, unfortunately, the answer is: it depends.

There is also a one-off ‘activation fee’. This costs about $15 if you do it by phone and about $5 if you it over the Internet. However, the race is on to get you signed up, so there are often promotions on doing away with this ridiculous rip-off fee. As if you will not be paying enough in monthly fees for the remainder of your life!

If you want to install satellite radio in your car, you have two alternatives, if your existing radio is not ‘satellite ready’. You can either purchase a new car stereo that is ‘satellite ready’ or you can purchase a satellite signal receiver and decoder unit and plug it into your present radio. This decoder can be hidden away under the driver’s seat or stashed in the boot of the car. You will also need a new aerial on the roof.

Costs differ outrageously, but let’s average it out at $600 for a decent, new, satellite-enabled, ready to go stereo fitted and working or $350 for a cheap system using your own radio, but also ready to receive satellite broadcasts. So, you could say, on average, for about $500 you can be listening to satellite broadcasts.

However, just as with laptop computer prices, demand creates downward pressure on prices and by the time you read this piece, the price could have halved. Let’s hope so.

Portable satellite radio receivers can be a little cheaper, mostly because there are no installation fees and come out at around $400.

Then there are the monthly subscription charges. As I said above, this depends on the package you select. The average charge is $10-$15 a month, but specialized channels can be extra. For instance, you could receive the Playboy channel for free at one time, but the normal charge is $2.95 per month.

Sport may cost more, particularly for a finals match. Sometimes, you can get a discount for paying annually and Sirius even has a one-off, lifetime option at $500. Perhaps the best thing to do is keep an eye on the promotional offers and be ready to pounce quickly when a fitting one crops up.

Owen Jones, the author of this piece, writes on a range of subjects, but is currently involved with Bose alarm clocks. If you would like to kcurrently more, please visit our web site at Bose Digital Radio.

More Musicians of the Dominican Republic

June 19th, 2011

The Dominican Republic is generally not at the top of the list when thinking of Latin American nations known for their music. It is however, home to innumerable talented people who have experienced international acclaim for their talents. Some have left their native country and traveled to the US or Spain in search of fame, others have chosen to stay on the little Caribbean island and foster their craft. Here we take a look at two more musicians who call the Dominican Republic their home.

Juan Francisco Ordonez was born in 1961 in Santo Domingo. He earned himself a degree in economics from a university in Santo Domingo, but had always studied guitar on the side. Juan learned formal music composition at the Dominican National Conservatory, and later became part of the folk group Convite. Later on he found a more comfortable place as lead guitar for Transporte Urbano and stayed with that group for more than 25 years. During those years the band toured the world, even performing in the former USSR.

Outside of his band life, Juan worked on fusion projects with other musicians and eventually put together a Caribbean trio called Trilogia. Juan has a unique sound all his own that has tones of blues, rock, jazz; all of which come together to create the now popular guitar language bachata. For that reason along he is considered the father of bachata.

Aisha Syed Castro was born in 1989 in Santiago, Dominican Republic. At the age of four Aisha began studying violin and flute with the internationally acclaimed professor Henry Disla. At the age of six Aisha was a member of the Children’s Symphony Orchestra. At eleven years old she made a solo performance with the National Symphony Orchestra and attended a violin symposium at the Julliard School in New York.

Aisha was the first Latin American person to be admitted to the Yehudi Menuhim School in London, also winning herself a scholarship for her impressive grades. Even at the young age of 22, Aisha has performed around the world, in front of international heads of state and well respected musicians. Clearly this young woman has a bright future in music, and all from meager roots in the Dominican Republic.

These two people are excellent representatives of the talent existing in the Dominican Republic, both in folk and classical genres of music. One has embraced the nuances of Caribbean rhythms, the other has found a love in the soothing melodies of the classics. Would it not be interesting to have both on one stage creating a whole new sound?

Memories of Yorkville Toronto.

June 7th, 2011

Ask any Torontonian what is most prestigious shopping and dining area in Toronto and the answer will always be Yorkville. Why? If you want to shop for a dress that is one of each kind, you will not visit any brand name store, but shop independent boutique clothing store in the area. This unique district is about diversity in clothing, goods, personal services, health and well-being services and fine dining. This district is a prime Toronto destination, but also a home to many residents of new condos and luxury apartment buildings. The name has its origin in old Yorkville Village incorporated in 1853. It was beyond the boundaries of old Toronto and absorbed by the city in 1853. On today’s map, we can find Yorkville district as an area extending north of Charles Street to, just north of Dupont, where railway line is. West of Yonge Street to Avenue Road. Over last forty years or so, we have witnessed many transformations and each period might have left long- lasting memories on Many Torontonians. First recognition that the district gained was during sixties. It was the area of Vietnam War with its hippie culture and free love that impacted old sleeping village most. This famous area became synonymous for hippies culture and international meeting place for US draft dodger coming to Canada, students, visitors and many more. “See you in the Yorkville,” was enough to be said and understood. District also impacted Canadian music. Old Minah Bird on the main avenue was a starting point for a number of performers who have become legends since that. Gordon Lightfoot, Neil Young and Joni Mitchel just to name few. It also became a starting place for one of Canadian corporate names, since Mr. Submarine opened its first sandwich shop on Yorkville Avenue on 1968. On any visit there, I would buy an assorted sub and Coke, paying only $1.25 with no tax then. During sixties, it might have been a cousin to Greenwich Village in New York City. It made its mark not just in music, but also fostering ground for writers. Bohemian Embassy was a legendary name for art and bohemian lifestyle. In 1923, it becomes the first home to a great Canadian institution, known today as Mount Sinai Hospital. Hospital moved out to University Avenue in 1953, leaving its original building behind. For a while, the building continued to serve as hospital’s nurses residence, until it became St. Raphael’s Nursing Home, in the sixties. The Mount Sinai facade was designated as historical under Ontario Heritage Act and remains in Yorkville until today, serving a new purpose. I recall many interesting sights during hot summer days and nights of 1969, watching elderly residents of nursing home sitting on chairs in front of their nursing home and watching hippie generation walking by. What was on the minds of those residents, seeing new long haired generation smoking their grass? A generation gap or shock was obvious. Yorkville presented new business opportunities to Real Estate developers with foresight who started buying quietly properties that they consider under their value. Early seventies saw two major breakthrough developments there. It was the Four Season Hotel and just across the road Hazelton Shopping centre development. The centre was remarkable because of its placement of skating ring in the middle. It was supposed to be a major attraction that has not survived for too long. It just did not bring enough shoppers, but the idea always reminded me the skating ring in front of Rockeffeler Centre in New York City. Yorkville Shopping phrase was coined and meant shopping for uniqueness and quality unmatched by traditional department stores of those days. It has transformed its image of rags in sixties, to an affluent place in seventies. So many changes have occurred there since that; however, one business and restaurant defied all changes. Le Trou Normand, a French restaurant, it has been an icon there for more than 35 years.

The condominium building at # 80, retained its historical facade as the memories to the past. It was a remarkable construction project to cut the facade, move to the street to allow for construction and then attach it to the new luxury building . Ryerson students in their reality project for a condominium project in Toronto coined the new brand-name Yorkvillism. It is a state of mind describing desire for affluence and replication of lifestyle for rich and famous. It is far removed from the first image during sixties, when it was the centre of anti-establishment and blue jeans were accepted dress code. It is a part of another _ism, a dogma and assumption not based on reality. It means living a fairy-tale life. We come to watch celebrities there, but we can only have a short span of time. Approximately 10 days during Toronto International Film Festival taking place every September. I enjoy the hustle and bustle during International Film Festival and spend a week there every year. I have found my best place to watch it and enjoy my being there from a patio of stylish continental restaurant at the corner of York and Hazel. I made friends with the owner and his staff. I enjoy their food and pay a reasonable price. The owner is a half-celebrity himself, being a circus performer in his prior career. He performed on the stage with my idol singer of sixties, Cliff Richard also Sammy Davis Jr. The area was an exciting place to visit in 1969, on my tight budget spending just a $1.25 for great sub sandwich. These days I can afford to upgrade for Continental food during 2010 and 2011. I have watched some movie stars being driven away from the hotel or even taking a casual walk there.

Although the district strives to be home of celebrities and big spenders, the reality is far from that. Toronto just does not have such a large class of spenders and free wheelers with their money, like New York City of L.A. Yorkville in Toronto has to do on the wannabes most of the time. Vaticano on Bellair Avenue is Italian dining restaurant, genuine place popular with celebrities, also for the duration of Toronto International Film Festival. During the rest of the year, the restaurant is popular with Canadian business crowd and visitors to Toronto. It is ready and place set for opulent lifestyle, but its daily visitors can be very stringent with their money. It is a reality that makes it hard for businesses to survive. Paying high rents to pay that are prevalent in Bloor-Yorkville area. It causes such a high turnover of businesses. There are always ” Going out of business” or “For Rent” signs visible on the street level. It is the let down and reminder that opulent lifestyle is not our everyday phenomenon in Toronto yet.

It is a watching place, including people, automobiles and motorcycles. You can see many sports and expensive cars with displaying Wheelchair Stickers behind their windshield. Do all the handicapped people buy these cars, but where do they keep the wheelchairs? Most likely, it is an attempt to avoid paying expensive parking fines. Parking Control Officers are relentless day or night, issuing expensive fines in droves on all major arteries and parking spots are scare. District is not only retail centre, but a place to obtain many professional services. Yorkvillism as a lifestyle demand well being for your mind and body. You will find many cosmetic dental clinics offering rejuvenation of your smile, plastic surgery clinics, hairstylists, spas and therapists of all kinds, just to name few. Family and Cosmetic Dentistry in Scollard Street is one recommended by a long time local resident. They cater to the young and professional crowd and keep in touch with them with mobile dental website. Older crowd has different needs of dental care, and the Yorkville dentistry provides them all. Chiropractic clinics and massage therapist are also wellness providers. Another local residents and friend of mine visits once a week local chiropractor for affluent and ordinary folks with an office located on the Street, just across the library and fire station. My local friend is a good example of Yorkvillism. He lives in the heart of the district in a condo on Bellair Avenue, just next to the subway entrance. His office is also located on Downtown subway station. We had many discussions on this topic of downtown traffic gridlocks, unnecessary costs for gas, avoiding many unnecessary parking tickets and making environmentally friendly choices. He always agrees that those are right arguments, but not right choices for him! In spite of convenience and economy of using TTC, he continues to drive his car to work and back home every day. He considers it lifestyle choice and status symbol. By his confession, affluent district residents can’t afford to be seen on TTC, or carrying their groceries through the front lobby of their building. Is this belief part of teh affluent area’s dogma?

What is the future in Yorkville? In spite of many new condo developments advertised with ads, proclaiming the future is bright, I am not sure if their predictions are right! I can see a large amount of speculation pushing the purchase prices up, while many businesses have hard times to survive in business. Condo development has not produced many new shoppers and restaurant’s patrons. Local businesses are largely dependent on crowd working downtown and people, like me. Without attracting a large crowd of economy shoppers and spenders, Yorkville might experience winter months, all-year round.

Yorkville For Top Restaurants Courtyard Restaurant, Le Trou Normand and Vaticano with fine dining at its best.

Wade Entezar Finds The Hoquiam Bluegrass Festival, Music For Everybody

October 26th, 2010

The Annual Grays Harbor Bluegrass festival is an event that you definitely want to be part of! The residents of Hoquiam City have always been proud with their love affair with this genre of music that got its start from the end of the Second World War and continued on to be a favorite among communities who like Hoquiam are made up of hard working people who like to hear good stories that touch your heart. Bluegrass bands both professional and amateur, fans from all walks of life gather for a few days in Hoquiam’s Olympic Stadium to sample the high lonesome sound that is distinct with true bluegrass melody.

The Grays Harbor Annual Bluegrass festival is attended by people from all walks of life, they come to Hoquiam city to partake of good music, good food, and good friends. Bluegrass music has always been welcome in Hoquiam, Washington and the Grays Harbor area, its long history of working class and their daily struggles to keep alive through hard work and doggedness, logging the surrounding forest long before the genre existed in its present form maybe explains the people’s natural connection to this type of music.

During the festival you will be amazed as to the different pace and rhythm that each bluegrass band churns out their music, some fast and catchy with a nip of country genre but still not to be mistaken as such and other tunes being melancholic and heartfelt that the audience would feel like praying to the divine. This crescendo of notes is climaxed by the showdown between two of the bands members who alternately play tunes that are spontaneously dished out in an effort to wow the crowd and inspire or rather challenge the other guy to do better and this is all played out with two entirely different instruments, such as a mandolin going against an acoustic guitar or a banjo. Can you picture the excitement running through the audience at that point?

The source of soul for bluegrass music is of course the musician and the musician relies on his chosen instruments, traditional instruments for a bluegrass band would be acoustic stringed instruments like the acoustic guitar, banjo, upright bass, fiddle and mandolin. All of these stringed instruments deliver a fast reverberating melody that definitely affects the crowd.

In bluegrass the climax of the performances are centered on the delivery of the instrumental solos that are played creatively without any rehearsal that on the spot challenges the skill and talent of the musician performing it.

Visitors to the Grays Harbor Bluegrass festival are encouraged by the city and its residents to go around and mingle in good fun and enjoyment, with most visitors being very familiar with the city and already having acquaintances or established friends from previous visits to Hoquiam and the Grays Harbor area.

Aside from experiencing bluegrass with new style or others would say “Newgrass” instrumentation like the piano for instance. Bluegrass is recognizable by its vocal harmony, which features two, three, or four parts, often times heard with a cacophonous high pitch referred to in bluegrass as the “high lonesome sound”, creating an interesting if not attention catching bellow of forceful vocals.

Being part of the Annual Grays Harbor Bluegrass festival is an experience not worth missing. People from all around go to Hoquiam city and experience live music, good food and good hospitality from the people of Hoquiam who love and know their bluegrass music.

Check out Wade Entezar and the Hoquiam Bluegrass Festival, Music for the working class

Exactly How Noise Dropping Headphones Work

September 10th, 2010

Have you ever been on a plane with your headphones, and found yourself not able to enjoy that movie you had been watching because there was a lot of noise coming from the engine, your snoring seatmate, or other noise producing factors around you that you could still hear? Have you ever found yourself wishing you could enjoy that train ride better, if perhaps you could enjoy your personal in-ear entertainment but rather disappointed because you got that unwanted train mechanism striking the rail tracks? Don’t you wish there was a way to cancel out those unwanted sounds from the surrounding and isolate what you want to hear from the headphones in the purest timbre?

These were the same wishes which Lawrence J. Fogel and Dr. Amar Bose had in mind when they began developing earphones which could isolate unwanted ambient noise. They both individually tried to study and develop solutions to produce something which would answer their dissatisfaction to noise caused the airplane’s engine while riding an airplane. After a decade of researching and development, the first noise cancelling headphones were released by Bose.

Noise-cancelling headphones are designed to minimize those unwanted noises around one’s environment.They help isolate the produced sound by producing reverse polar sound waves like those which are coming from the external surroundings. This really is made possible by Active Noise Control or simply referred to as ANC.

ANC basically works though a microphone, placed near the ear, which serves as the sensor. If this picks up those external sounds, its electric circuitry produces sound waves which are reverse in polarity. Acting as anti-noise sound waves, the sound picked up externally is cancelled and minimized to the listener wearing the noise-canceling headphones. The end result is pure sound quality at whatever volume is selected.

Currently on the market, you should typically find Noise Canceling headphones which have ANC for mostly low frequency noise. It is because lower frequency sound waves sound multi-directional instead of sounding from a singular source, making it easier for the ear to pick up. They would also contain longer wave lengths which make it tougher to block.

For sounds which have higher frequencies and are shorter in wave lengths, companies would usually depend on their other noise minimization techniques, such as ear cups design and materials, to block them. As these have shorter wave lengths, they’d be easier to block and cancel out.

With the thought of frequency and wave sound length having an inverse relationship, companies have opted to produce noise-canceling headphones with an ANC for lower frequencies only since it would entail having a much more simple electronic circuitry. Other techniques anyway could be sufficient to produce the noise-blocking effect that one would wish in a noise-canceling headphone.

Noise-canceling headphones are actually gaining their popularity around the world. Not only do they have entertainment benefits, but ear-drum maintenance also. Because a user would not need to raise the volume to hear only what he or she is hearing, less stress is put on the ear drum. Talk about a double benefit!

When Do You Have Too Much Stuff?

August 29th, 2010

My older brother, now living in Sacramento, used to be what some might consider a garage sale addict. Every Saturday morning would find him plying the neighborhoods for hidden treasures in the form of others’ cast-offs. He always got ‘a good deal’ and almost everything he acquired found its way to the garage. The garage was FULL.

When he came home one day with a new collection I noticed several leaflet holders among the booty. I wondered what they were for and he mentioned they came at a great price – free. He’d surely find some use for them.

Asked what he had planned for these advertising aids designed to hold brochures he had an answer ready. He was going to use them to advertise his OWN garage sale. He was planning to get rid of some of these things he had accumulated through his garage-sale addiction. It sounded like a good plan.

Well, before too much time had passed he met the love of his life and moved out of his house and into hers. She already had all of the furniture and appliances they needed so I was fortunate in having all that left behind for me to use. I also inherited the garage full of garage sale castoffs, which he guaranteed he would deal with as soon as he could.

True to his word the garage was emptied and again useable within a few months. I was even able to get my car parked in there! That may have been the first time that particular car-parking area was used for its intended purpose… vehicle protection.

My brother was also nice enough to leave some of his clothes behind when he left. All neatly arrayed on sturdy wooden hangers, I was pleased to find we were still the same size (and still have similar taste in apparel). I wondered if he’d mind if I borrowed that leather jacket! The answer was, “No,” he didn’t mind and I was given permission to use anything left behind as though it were my own. That’s a very cool brother.

I’ve moved halfway around the world now, from Sacramento to Cebu, and all that stuff’s been long left behind. He had to come to the house, of course, and remove everything when it was time for me to go. That’s where the two storage lockers come into play. When you’ve got too much stuff to fit into your house, you might have TOO much stuff!

Bob Proctor has been writing articles since 2002 and is an expert on wooden hangers , however he also likes to write about snowball microphone

Making Time Pass Quicker

August 4th, 2010

With gas being as expensive as it is right now, people have started using trains, or buses, more often, to take them where they need to be. Nothing is as boring as having to travel for several hours, with complete strangers, and nothing to do.

Not all people find it easy to stay in one place, with nothing to keep them occupied, and so, most try to sleep or read a book, watch people or try to hide in the seat and pretend they are not there. Not exactly an easy feat, considering the ambient noise and large number of people around. So, how do you make time pass quicker?

Using the Sansa e250 mp3 player is one option to help the hours pass by faster than just sitting around bored. The hours will just fly by when you’re watching your favorite show, or listening to your favorite music, or browsing around on your player looking for something to do. If your music collection just doesn’t do it for you, the player also has a built in FM tuner, to listen to the radio.

The strong alloy metal casing of the player lets you enjoy your music, and not worry about other people bumping into you and causing you to drop it.

If you don’t feel comfortable with your headphones on, try to find a pair that is less visible than what you have now. Their quality is equally important, since you don’t want the entire compartment listening to your music. Sound isolation takes care of that, and makes listening to music a more personal experience.

Make traveling an enjoyable experience by investing in the tiny, but the feature packed player. You certainly won’t regret it, and your ears will love you for it. Why listen to other travelers when you enjoy yourself by listening to your music? Try it out. You won’t be able to travel without it, afterwards!

Important Camping Tips

July 26th, 2010

People usually go on camping trips to enjoy themselves while spending some time in the great outdoors. Normal people do, at least. We have some family friends that said they absolutely hated camping trips, and would rather be working than go on one. Yet, every year, they went on at least two of them. We didn’t know where, but they were gone for several days.

We were as curious as you might be as to why they continued going if they hated it so much, but no answer was ever received. We tried to joining them on several occasions, yet they seemed reluctant and simply refused.

Once, when we were shopping together, I saw them buying a big tent, explaining to me that a good tent is crucial to have, when going camping. When I pointed out that it was very big, and probably heavy, and surely a smaller tent would have sufficed, they just laughed. Knowing they’ve went on so many camping trips, I figured they knew what they were doing.

It turns out they did know what they were doing, as I found out on the next night. They were supposed to leave on one of their camping trips, but I heard them making noise in the hallway. A quick look showed me they were going to the top of the building, instead of exiting it.

Deciding to see where they were going, I followed them to the roof. They had everything set up there, including the large tent, [a collection of magazines, and a zune 8gb

After recovering from their initial shock, they started laughing as hard as they could. It appears this was “their” secret camping place, and a very relaxing one. They were kind enough to let us join them, now, and we do so, at every opportunity. Just be on the lookout for two tents on top of a building.

Party Hard In Dubai At Night

June 26th, 2010

There is no doubt that Dubai is one of the most incredible destinations to travel to. With world class attractions such as Burj Al Khalifa (World’s tallest man made structure), Burj Al Arab (World’s tallest Hotel), The Palm (Man made islands) and so much more, you really need a good two weeks minimum to experience this city. In all this hoopla, Dubai’s nightlife has been somewhat forgotten, but boy does it exist!

Dubai in the night time is just as exciting as it is in the day time. Roberto Cavalli and Armani both opened their very own exclusive clubs recently to add on to the vibrant nightlife in Dubai. With stars such as Jay Sean, DJ Dodge, Kaya Jones and more visiting Dubai and doing regular shows, their is no shortage of quality entertainment. A city that depends on tourism for its bread and butter (Not oil as often stereotyped), has to go the extra mile to make sure people are well entertained in the day time and night.

Just before you hit the local night scene, I just want you to be aware of some of the following rules and regulations so you have the best time possible. Make sure you carry your passport everywhere. It not only serves as your ID but will help you if you do have any mash ups with the local authorities (Most likely you wont).

Regrettably, there are no after hours drinking venues but that just works out fine most times. Cover charge or entry is usually around $30 dollars give and take but well worth the experience. You’ve probably heard this in your own country but drinking and driving is not a good idea and actually the ‘kiss of death’ in Dubai. No you won’t get the death penalty, but you will be fined about $15,000, one month in jail than straight deportation. Yes that is harsh indeed so try to avoid drinking and driving or drinking outside the designated areas at all costs.

Besides the minor inconveniences, Dubai is a great place at night and its fused with the latest and hottest live acts. If you like to have a good time in a safe and clean environment where everything is big and luxurious, Dubai is the place to party.

Dubai is a great place to visit and the perfect destination for the night life lover. Don’t forget to visit Dubai Clubs and hope you enjoy Clubbing in Dubai.
