A Big Leap! | SteemPH UAE Third Meet & Greet
Marhaba @steemph.uae and steemians all over the world!
We made it! The Third SteemPH UAE Meet and Greet finally happened!
A Big Leap!
This is the first SteemPH UAE Meet And Greet outside the capital. Most of us are in Abu Dhabi hence the First and Second Meet & Greet were held here in the capital. But of course Dubai and Northern Emirates will never be left behind so meet up in Dubai was executed.
Would like to thank our dedicated Steemians from Dubai who helped us to look for venue, without their help, it won't be that easy - @lhyn, @paluchie and @iamdeth.
To @paluchie, we missed you in the event but we pray for your fast recovery so that you can visit us here in Abu Dhabi 😊
Attendees are from 3 different Emirates; Abu Dhabi, Dubai and Sharjah. Good thing the venue is accessible to everyone.
Dubai here we come!
The event was held in Dubai and set to start at 01:00 PM, we decided to leave at 11:00 AM from Abu Dhabi as it'll be 2 hours travel from our place. @appleskie picked me and @prinsepong up then passed by to @essan-san and Tina's place. We met @arrliinn, @kennyroy and @divinekids at the last ADNOC in Abu Dhabi and headed together to the venue with the help of "google map and "waze".
We're sure will be on time as we're only 11 minutes away to the venue until @arrliinn missed the exit 😅 We're following her by the way ~LOL~. We stopped in one of the metro station to check and reroute. In no time we reached the place and @iamdeth, @cheche016, @kendallron, @sherylneil and @mr-neil happily greeted us!
Most Awaited Event
As we are all hungry, we decided to start eating while waiting for the rest of the gang. @lhyn and @donaldd arrived after few minutes followed by @iluyy, her husband Peter and cute little one, Elijah.
Dagat Dagatan Restaurant has sumptuous buffet of Filipino food. They also serve street food like "Isaw", (chicken intestine) where my eyes and jaw dropped!! OOHHHH... it made my 2 hours travel worth it!!! 🤣🤣🤣
Discussion and Presentation
The meeting room was booked at 03:30 PM so we decided to start the discussion right after we eat. @arrliinn took the floor and shared the important SteemPH UAE Plans and Updates.
SteemPH UAE Plans and Updates
- Recent changes on SteemPH UAE daily curation efforts and rules which can be found here.
