Crème de la crème

"You are Crème de la crème! You are the chosen and lucky one!" they told us... Last year 111.000 people applied for the position of Cabin Crew, but Emirates hired only 7.000, so I guess that I am the lucky one :)

I still can't believe it.. I'm in Dubai, between camels and Lamborghini cars, fulfilling my childhood wishes!! Yeeey, I can't wait to fly :)
