Off to GITEX

It was in 1999 that I read that one of the biggest technology shows was called GITEX, and it was in a place that few English-speakers had ever heard of, formerly the Trucial States, now the United Arab Emirates. I never thought I'd be going.

In 2000, I was offered a job in the aforementioned United Arab Emirates, and one of my duties was to go to GITEX, where I saw all the latest new IT gadgets.

And now I'm going to GITEX 2011.
