After a bit of a break, Ara Ara The Weeb Podcast is finally back. In this episode, we’re talking about our full experience in Abu Dhabi after spending three days hosting at Middle East Film & Comic…
But before we get into like how the Straw Hats was, I just want to start by saying that our experience with the Straw Hats and the celebrities does not reflect on Informa or MAFCC as an event.
It was just the experiences that we faced during the time that the event occurred.
And MEFCC was actually really, really cool this year.
I absolutely loved it this year.
It was a lot like the year before for me.
I was telling this from the beginning.
Because last year, we were a bit disappointed with how MEFCC was.
It was very disorganized.
But this year, they had...
You know, two sold out days.
I bet the other day was also completely packed, almost sold out.
And they organized it really, really well this year.
I absolutely loved it this year.
I think the only I would say this organized part was the picture taking.
Where, you know, it was, I think they didn't expect the number.
So we had to get transferred all the way to the entrance just to get it printed.
And obviously, the people in the queue that was there initially went back because they had to find where was this location.
So it was just that.
But other than that, everything was completely smooth.
And we even had three days of hosting.
Yeah, that was amazing.
But wait, before we continue with the hosting and the celebrity meet and greets, I also want to mention that I really love how MEFCC or Informa took care of the cosplayers this year.
First off, compared to the previous years, we know that the festival stage is outside,
right?
Before, there was no shade.
