yes, i've lived in dubai for 3 and a half years. no, i didn't work there. 5 things that i cherish about living there:
1. great place, great people, great culture
2. cultural and traditional kindness to animals is very pronounced
3. locals (i.e., emiratis who are arabs) are formal and distant with strangers, but they suddenly smile broadly when they see me feed stray cats
4. indians, who are the majority, are way friendlier than fellow filipinos, i don't know why
5. gulf news, my favorite broadsheet; real good writing, great choice of topics and articles; helmed by british writers, staffed by filipino and indian writers, owned by emiratis naturally; i miss this kind of newspaper, honest
