Re: I feel sick to my stomach...
Thanks for the advice guys! And Khawateen I must say you are brave to have been there for 3 months under such corrupt conditions!
Ya I already told her to keep most of the money in her bra or in that waist traveller purse thingy. But about the taxi thing, I heard a lot of the taxis are working with the dakoos. For example, my other cousin who lives in Dubai went to visit his parents in Pakistan and the airport taxi started driving him home and after like a few minutes he noticed 5 guys in motorcyles started following his car. When he arrived at his destination they took all his suitcases and money at gunpoint then let him go. My problem is that if even the airport taxis are working with the criminals....then what hope is there? How do you know which taxis you can trust?
HSK you have a point that ppl who wear rags wont get robbed b/c they look dirt poor and I have told my mom not to wear any nice clothes just really simple clothes...but the problem is...she cant wear nice clothes cuz she will get robbed but she cant wear really crappy clothes either because then the store keepers wont even look at her and wont service her (after all she IS there to get my wedding clothes)....what a dilema! sigh
