Liking Dubai Less & Less

Liking Dubai less & less Jan 03, 2007
Hey All,

Happy New Year.

I went away for New Year, and I have to say whenever I go out of the UAE, I'm starting to dread coming back everytime. Everywhere else feels like normality compared to Dubai, the shine is definately coming off. Just getting into the airport, people here can act like animals, there's zero consideration for anyone else. Plus you really notice that the place smells, of people and smoke, it really is foul.

Maybe the time is right to start looking for new places to live and work.

Just venting.

Welcome back. It'll be better in a few days :wink:

Nothing worth than coming back anyplace from holidays.

Sure if you want to live with my folks and the dog and kitty.

Actually the job is one thing I'm considering changing. I miss being freelance and being my own boss.

Maybe your just feeling a bit low? Perhaps missing the peeps you left behind? Whatever it is, for sure it will pass. Anyway try looking at the little brighter side, its still feels safe here somehow, tax free, the never ending sale? :roll:

Hehe, the brighter side of women feeling unsafe in taxis, indirect taxes and the never-ending fake sales with prices higher than in the same stores in the West?

Sorry Im might be missing out something, dunno anyone who feels unsafe in taxi around here, are we talking about Dubai Transport taxi? And I really beg to disagree about your claim on the fake sale prices, it still quite far from western prices! Have you checked out the sale in MOE lately? :roll:

Xibit, Southwark?! PLease darling I come from a posher place than that!

Been here three and a half years now. Think my main issue is I feel chanined to work at the moment, so no time for a life whatsoever. I work to live, not live to work.
