7/2 visiting the Sheikh

Ilene
"So today we visited the minister of education(Sheikh Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan). We were unfortunately quite late so we were not able to stay too long. However it was still a great experience. It was interesting looking around the room and seeing the twenty or so men, some dressed in traditional western men's attire, and some in traditional arab men's attire. Just like us and the Zayed girls we've all come together and really are not too different. The man sitting near Bern explained to us about the food and his initial experiences with the culture, and just listening to him, as well as the man who spoke to us at UAEU it seems that their exploring and accepting other cultures really helped them to get to where they are today. Having so many ex-patriots I think Dubai rally is a good place to experience people learning and accepting other cultures to better themselves."
