2011 in review

The WordPress.com stats helper monkeys prepared a 2011 annual report for this blog.

Here’s an excerpt:

The concert hall at the Sydney Opera House holds 2,700 people. This blog was viewed about 19,000 times in 2011. If it were a concert at Sydney Opera House, it would take about 7 sold-out performances for that many people to see it.

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!

In Dubai, the Bonnington Jumeirah Lakes Towers, is organising the city’s first ever Social good Day meetup. You can find the invite & RSVP here.

The event takes place on Wedensday, 21st September 2011, from 6.30 p.m. onwards at the on the Pool Deck of the Bonnington Jumeirah Lakes Towers, high above the Jumeirah Lakes Towers. The open-air venue is an ideal place for an after work meet-up and to do some good at the same time.

The Bonnington will donate 10% of all food & beverage takings during the event to charity – come along and help decide where the money should go.
