LU stinks horribly and you got to keep stand most of the time. in summers its worse with no airconditioning.
you cant compare it to sitting in the comfort of your own car smelling nice and good. there are traffic jams though but its worthwhile when compared. :wink:
Not for me, I prefer to hold my breath for a while, anyways sometimes you are close to someone who really smells good.
Traffic jams, nightmare for me, I hate them.

There is nothing better than a tube or night bus on a Fri/Sat night in London Town. Everyone jammed on singing songs and fooling around. I loved it!!! And who smiles at 7am on their way to work on a Monday morning when it's chucking it down outside and your soaked right through?!? Jeez... it's depressing just thinking about it!
I prefer the London Underground any day in comparison with SZR or SDR in the morning or evening.

I think if one smiles, it brings smiles to them too. If one has "smile wrinkles" then I like them instantly.......shows they are a happy person (most of the time).
If you want a smile, give a smile :D

1. alcohol kills your brain cells so there is a possibility that you might end up as a retard nut case
2. you realise you are left with no money when your credit is rejected at the supermarket.
3. you waste precious time which could have been used for something more entertaining and productive.
4. your health suffers, skin loses its sheen and shine
5. you may end up in jail. most crimes happen when people are drunk.
6. it could be the last time you are driving your car.
7. it could destroy relatioships
8. you age quickly
9. lastly in some cases your performance can suffer :wink:
so why drink at the first place?

Hi Stan, Welcome to Dubai :lol:
I have never noticed that their is a lack of smiles here, if I smile I almost always will get one in return, maybe thats because I have a funny face :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

And I smile too but mostly at the same se><.
I think it's against the culture to smile at a member of the se>< that you don't know?

I find it not to different to most of the world - some people will smile back, others will just stare at you blankly.
Apart from Thailand - those people just love smiling which is why it got the name 'Land of Smiles'.

ppl dont smile in dubai cos they are so foking fed up with life here. so much tension. like rents, traffic and paying fines to dubai police, or trying to find parking under ur house.

in a poor country they smiling n laughing. plus poor ppl smile and laugh much more then rich ppl. my grand mum used to say this and am sure u know this aswell money doesnt buy u happiness ;)

^^ I agree with your grandmum. I think smiling is a culture thing also.

yeh its culture thing aswell. cos if u crack a joke with someone from da west they wouldnt get it whereas if u cracked a joke with an arab he/she wouldnt get it. probably they will but some dont u know wot i mean :p
asc_26
No no..what i mean is smiling per se is a culture thing not just cracking jokes. :D Definitely jokes varies from place to place, if you'll tell a joke that is arabic in origin, people from other parts of the world can understand it unless they know the arab cultures etc.
Anyone who curse asc or say anything against her, the bad luck goes back to them. 8)

by da way when did i curse u or say something against ya. i never said anything bad to u so y is ur bad luck following me where ever i go. is it cos of my smile :)

Not sure about that, I live in Chicago and people are very friendly here. I'm not originally from Chicago so when I first moved here, I made friends very quickly. People were always willing to stop and give you directions or help you if you looked lost or just talk to you while you are in line at the market. I'm sure there are some rude and unfriendly people but most of the time people are generally happy.
But thats just my experience.
