Dubai is "different", so you should prepare yourself for a sort of culture shock. You are right in saying it does not have a cohesive culture; in fact it does not really have a culture....yet. People here are not cold, they are indifferent. They stay in their own little circles, usually de...

lonelyndubai , I am a Canadian of Pakistani origin! BTW, I dont live or work in Dubai anymore. By the end of my 8 years there, I was getting comfortably numb, and knew I had to get out or fade away in my cocoon. From your interests in baking, and other things you mentioned in your post, am I right ...

Jonkers

Am I to assume you have now returned to Canada? Yes. BTW, the only thing I bake is a Salmon! Yummy. I have recently turned to making a pan seared Salmon (in olive oil), that tastes even better :D How is it working in Dubai? The culture shock that I mentioned earlier, follows you to your workplace. ...

^^^you sound just like FF! Do I? Should this go in my CV? :? --- Feb 27, 2013 --- lonelyndubai , Well, you sound like an intelligent being and I am sure you'll find your way. I didn't say Dubai was bad, notice, just different. You have to be clear about what you want from it, and then you will not ...

There was once a fork in the road. Well, it is probably still there. Isn't there always one? Even in Life? Wish there were not that many 'forks in the road'. Sometimes we take the wrong one! Sometimes, that one just turns out to be the one that really mattered. Has that ever happened to you? But I d...

but in my travels I've never heard a 'New Yorker' say 'spot on' or 'autumn'...does not make you a bad person but... Welcome Ambassador! LTNS.....(I was Frequentflier, and FF2, in the past and now this!) Ever heard of a movie called "Autumn in New York"?? Its a good one and recommended! Ri...

Yes, I have misplaced or in other words, lost my passwords associated with that account (FF2). That's a great loss because I had been working hard to build up my posts-bank.

Anyone interested in this topic, would do well to go through this :http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bacha_bazi You need a strong stomach to read that. Briefly, this is a practice that has been in Afghanistan since very ancient times. Afghanistan has hardly made any progress towards 21st century practice...

benwj , One has to understand the cultural background. Somehow, the positive, or sodomizing partner (with all due apologies for the crudeness of my language) is considered as the macho man to be looked up to in social circles, where as the stigma and humiliation is attached to the one sodomized. So...

wazabi , It would seem like you are destined to fall for a particular kind of woman. From your recent experience (as described by you above) my advice would be: enjoy the ride while it lasts, but be prepared for the fall. As you can see, not every woman would like to be with a 'good guy'. That woul...

Something I thought I'd share with you; a little cut and paste from something my brother emailed me :lol: : ---------------------------- When the white missionaries came to Africa they had the Bible and we had the land. They said 'Let us pray.' We closed our eyes. When we opened them we had the Bibl...

How easy would it be to persuade a doctor to carry out that procedure? Doesn't that go against all they are trained for? You seem to hold doctors in high esteem! Well, some of them are nice, aren't they? :D However, you could have others that agree with the Saudi values, and would gladly oblige to ...

even talk about it with friends and family anymore, no matter how much they may try to get me into a conversation with them about! Well, that's a very nice approach. I am glad you have adopted a more mature attitude. Live and let live, right? I am doing quite well myself. Depends on what time of th...

I happened to be living and working in the UK during those years that you speak of BM, so I was an observer of events to a certain extent. I think Mrs T spear headed the idea of privatization to bring about an economic turn-around. And she was very successful in this. She realized she had to break t...

A blonde went to a car spare parts shop and said, " I want a 710 ." Both the sales people looked blankly at her. They'd never heard of anything like a 710 . They called to someone in the back, "Fred, this lady is asking for a 710!" Fred had never heard of one either. In an effort...

Here is something that I found so touching, and want to share with you.
In the rush and bustle of our lives, we tend to forget that there are "other" people with thier own problems in their own individual worlds.
Spare a thought for them.

Well, with all this talk of football and other sports, I thought I would change the subject a little to something that is so important in our lives but we rarely talk about it. I mean the mattress that you sleep on :D . I was reminded of this by a friend today. Him and his wife are not on talking te...

A very good decision.
"Back care" takes precedence over "mattress care"!
I dont flip mine for the same reason

A heart surgeon took his car to the mechanic. The mechanic said, "Doc, I fixed that car; I took its 'heart' out and repaired it, put it back in, and now it works perfectly. Yet I charge so little, and it costs an arm and a leg when you do your surgery on someone!" "Try fixing it with ...
