The first meetup was more of a practice team building session. Here is a trip report of the second Dubai JUG meetup at the PWC office.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;h3 id="h3-0-first-day-in-dubai"&gt;First day in Dubai&lt;/h3&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This was my second time in Dubai. I had visited most of the landmarks the first time, making this a more relaxing visit without fear of missing out (FOMO). The temperatures were a lot more pleasant, where in June during my first visit it was above 40 degrees Celcius, this time around it was a more pleasant 30 degrees. I arrived Wednesday night in the hotel. I had set an alarm to make sure I wouldn&amp;rsquo;t miss breakfast and woke up a bit jet lagged. It&amp;rsquo;s surprising what just two hours of time difference can do!&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
