Dubai .... Jan 26, 2009
After only a week of driving in the city, I’m now not so sure that Dubai is a safe place to be;

A bag with personal belongings was nicked from the back sit of the car by a porter who parks cars of customers eat in this particular restaurant –the incident is being investigated by the restaurant management - Dubai

I was questioned by the police about my car parked outside friend’s house –Sharjah-
(Apparently “peaceful” neighbors saw a light haired, white female parking who they didn’t know)

A car driving behind me at night on a ring road –in the last heavy rain- thought could take me over where he/she almost had an accident right behind me..!! – I’m still shaky.. –Dubai-

A van driver of DHL claimed that I bumped into the van while reversing which wasn’t the truth, and kept nagging for no reason.. he took off when i actually called the police.. –Dubai-

Petty crime is on the increase.

They may have thought you were 'Russian' and had brought your dubious morals to the neighbourhood.

Nutcases on the road is quite normal.

however, for someone new here with no knowledge/experience of local culture, this may be really demoralizing for a start..
