I think you came into this with a negative attitude unfortunately. Dubai isn’t as bad as people make it out to be. I’ve travelled and lived between Dubai and Canada a few times now over the past 10 years. I feel like the western media creates a paranoia about the UAE because it’s Arab.
The sketchiness of the deal was obvious from the moment I rolled into the driveway.
Just a reminder: your insurance plan very, very likely covers adult MMR boosters totally free (thanks, Obama!).
