Lack of smiles in Dubai Aug 28, 2006
Why is everyone so down in Dubai? You would think you all had it so hard here. Been here 5 days and barely seen any smiles yet alone people laughing. Is it that bad here?

by the way, hi everyone :D

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:

Stan i get smiled at all the time :D
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 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

I agree with Scarlet.... it could be a culture thing. I smile whenever I feel like doing so but only to other girls. Bec. its like flirting if I smile to guys I dont know of ...isnt it? :wink:

A scientific study discovered that the amount of smiles is inversely proportional to the price of beer.

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?
better drink milk and honey... :wink:

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.
