Long Time No Post,

They say if you can't say anything nice, Don't say anything at all.

That's how things are at the moment.

GM has been pissed off with the delays with his transfer & the way the news was broken to us.

It's peak season and being an Islamic country the majority of the tourists are from the UAE. No one seems to like them much, the beach boys have gotten into fights with them, as have the fishermen. Every day the Arabs report a "stolen" mobile phones (always from a public area). When the guest is invited to view CCTV footage they quickly back down and suddenly the phone re appears. They pull all sorts of stunts to try & get discounts but writing about them will just piss me off.

We had a security guard take our car out the other day, He was on suspension for a week pending the outcome of the investigation, Then terminated.

He is trying to take the Hotel to court for unfair dismissal, Little does he realise we have CCTV footage catching him in the act & GM likes to make an example out of these clowns so is prepared to hire a lawyer & fight the case rather than pay the hush money to make it go away as is usually what these idiots ask for (its generally about half what the legal fee's will add up to hence from a business perspective its usually cheaper to pay up, extortion at its finest.)

Anyway on the bright side: Last day is 15th August, then a week off, will probably go to Batam, Bali or Singapore for some R&R. Then off to Delhi then Mumbai on the 1st September.
