    Thanks for sharing your experience Zeeba 💙 @Reni your look when she said some rentals don’t come with appliances was so funny 😂 South Africa is similar, it’s the more high end places that will have appliances included in a rental, stoves are usually the only standard thing that comes included, everything else you have to get yourself (fridge, washer & dryer, microwave etc.).

    Dubai is an oasis. Temporary fun & good money, if you have the right qualifications. What’s scary is, the laws are not the same as (for example) America & when sh•% gets real, the possibility of going to jail for a simple misdemeanor back home is real. I also found it to be soulless. The stares for me, as a Pacific Islander, plus my look can be shocking to most of the world. Same stares I got in Iowa, Alabama, Greece, Iran, Germany, Egypt and Kenya. Communities that aren’t used to seeing certain cultures IRL will always stare.
