Even though we were working our asses off for 12 hours a day, marking off the days till the return date like soldiers in a trench looking at their girlfriend’s picture, we did have a day or two off, one of which was spent a the Jumeirah Beach park. Half park, half beach, people were bathing, picnicking, playing volleyball, taking it easy among friends and family members. As candid and homespun as middle-class can be.
