I went for a walk yesterday from my house in the Lakes to Mall of the Emirates and had a very strange experience. In total on the way there and back, 3 cars stopped to “offer me a lift” home. I’ve heard about the generosity of the locals but they seemed a mix of nationalities (I wasn’t hanging around to get their life story). All 3 were guys in the car on their own.
So is there’s something strange about Al Barsha that it’s well known as, well, a gay haunt to put it politely? Or am I just being a paranoid Westerner who doesn’t trust single guys in cars offering me their charity???
