    The taxi drivers dont talk you out of respect for Jakob. It's not appropriate to converse with a strangers wife unless she asks a question directly.

      Yes, exactly. It just take some time to get used to the culture difference 🙂

      It’s not just about someone else wife. In Muslim culture, men usually don’t talk to women at all especially if they are strangers. Most Muslim nowadays especially western don’t know shit about culture and do whatever they want but it’s their life so whatever.

      that is still very belittling to women. as a woman, I sometimes speak to the woman instead of the man of fear that the woman might be jealous, but I do less and less of that as I get older because it’s really stupid and when people are mature and well situated, you don’t have to worry about that stupid stuff

      @@karenlei8742 fair enough but each culture is different. If a woman finds it's belittling that another man would speak to her husband rather than her out of respect than it's her issue

    A lot of this looks just like Chicago. it’s pretty hard to tell the difference actually except that Chicago has some beaches and more green spaces mixed in and all around

      Oh I didn't know that Chicago looked like Dubai. It's on our list to go to Chicago. If you have any recommendation please let us know 😊

      Chicago is seriously very stunning. I think it’s the most beautiful modern big city in development in the world and I have been to over 100. across all continents except africa. it is in a lot of movies, but it is very underrated in terms of how stunning and clean it is. they have very cold winters, of course that you might want to avoid, but the summers are really wonderful and the city has like 200 free festivals every summer. I am very much into architecture and nature, but you do not have to be into architecture to take the architectural tour on the boats that they have down the main river that runs through the city. many many people take it and it’s very fascinating and gorgeous. I feel like I’m coasting down Gotham city or something which in fact I heard parts of Batman were films there anyway. other boat tours across the lake/ocean like for sunset or to the other lakes are also very pretty

      also, Chicago has cute little cozy neighborhoods, so look up various neighborhoods that might be interesting to you in their character. I would suggest the high-end neighborhoods and also the artsy ones or college ones. I understand there are a few bad neighborhoods as well - Who’s crime is what people mistake for all of Chicago -so ask people which ones to avoid if you are taking public transportation

      Thank you. Living in a bubble means to live in place, completely isolated from what is happening all around. Dubai is very different compare to other countries. The life you live there, will be difference what you are used to back home 😊

    It’s actually not that expensive in Dubai if you compare to big cities like New York, Paris, London, Singapore or Hong Kong. I’m not quite sure why everyone is saying that it’s so expensive.

    • @MalinandJakob
      @MalinandJakob  3 місяці тому

      Yes of course, it all depends on what you compare to. You can live a life there that doesn't need to be that expensive, but you can also live a really luxury life there. But if we compare shopping to Europe, the prices are more expensive in Dubai.

      Healthcare alone in the US can be $800/month and you still have to pay out of pocket for bloodwork. Add another $800/month for daycare if you have kids. Add property taxes, income tax, capital gain tax... Anyone who says it's expensive because a can a coke is $0.10 more in Dubai than their little town in Idaho has the analytic skills of a toddler.

    Amazing! Question: Which area do you recommend to me? I'm checking out in Business Bay but... it is walkable? thanks

    • @MalinandJakob
      @MalinandJakob  3 місяці тому +1

      Business Bay is good, but it depends on which side of the water you are looking at 😊. You should look at the Downtown side of the water. Otherwise you are far away from everything. Check out our Business video and you will hear our thoughts: ua-cam.com/video/gwABAIDmYL4/v-deo.html

    The taxi driver are mainly pakistani , indian , and bangladeshi, they have never talk to women in their home countries so they don't know how to talk to them.

      This is not true. They always speak with me. They are very sociable, they begin to talk about their family, wife and children at home. They even show photos 😊

    The most interesting about Dubai is that you can do whatever you want to do... But don't try to say anything against their government.
