Sharjah - My Middle East Working Experience with the IBM Corporate Services Corps

Saturday is my first whole day in Sharjah, and I still have to actually get my feet on the ground! I needed to complete some work for my regular job, and unfortunately have not been quite able to finish everything today.


I am, however, already familiar with the Radisson Blu hotel - my home away from home for the next four weeks.

During the day, I finally meet all my IBM CSC colleagues in person. Digital Opportunity Trust (DOT), IBM's local partner organization for the UAE CSC deployment, provides a first formal program briefing. 

In the evening we have a barbecue dinner at the Calypso! restaurant by the pool. This is my first chance to taste some local food. The local IBM Client Executive for the Sharjah government and two representatives from our Sharjah clients, also attend.
