Moopen Group is 21 Years Old

Who is the Moopen Group? you will ask...... Dr. Moopen is the man who owns the hospital where I work. 21 years ago he started his first business venture in India and it has mushroomed from there and he is a very rich man. Last night we attended his anniversary party at ZaBeel park here in Dubai. It was attended by all employees and families of his hospital (Medcare), clinics and pharmacies. I think there was probably close to 1000 people there. The night started with a ceremony and cake cutting, then the show started. For weeks the nurses and staff at the hospital have been busy preparing a "show/dance number" for this night. I was thinking a nice little dance and we could go home after dinner. Well when we arrived the dance numbers had started but I knew our hospital wasn't performing until later. The dance programs were awesome. There was a great sound system, lighting and everything was very professional. Not what I had thought at all. All the performers had costumes made by tailers here in Dubai which are quick. I do remember the staff going for fittings a few weeks ago and leaving their duty for a short time. The result of this was an eventual winner for the evening among all of Dr. Moopen's clinics etc. Our hospital did a very nice show and I was very proud and overwhelmed at how professional they looked. I did take some pictures and they will be posted soon. The night was beautiful with warm weather and the area was very nice. It is a pretty park with lots of parking and space to walk around. All in all it was a great night. The only problem was - my guys did not want to eat before we went there, and it was late. The show didn't finish until 10:15 and the food was not out yet. We decided not to wait around for the food but go to a restaurant for dinner. WE ended up at TGI Friday's and were able to sit outside. I really enjoy that right now. There are no bugs like in NY and the evening temperatures are really balmy and nice. So even though the night was very long it was fun and I am glad we had the opportunity to go. I think we WERE the only American family there. Quite a different feeling when you are used to the opposite.
