then this is the place! Actually, it’s quite a vibrant city, an extremely International city, with people from all over the world here for one reason or another. It’s just real spread out. Like really spread out. Like Oklahoma spread out. Imagine Phoenix or Las Vegas, but with lots of Indians and a few Arabs. There are probably fifty Indians, Pakistanis or Bangladeshis for every Arab in Dubai. Many more men than women. This is a place to come work, make money and then return home where the cost of living is much less. I guess that’s what I’m doing here, too!
You seem cheerful about all this…looks like suburbia in the desert. Hope teaching goes well.
