you are not surprised to see a truck overtaking you at 130 km/h
you are still not surprised, when you see a goat on the passenger seat
you are also not surprised to see a camel sitting on the back of a pick-up truck
you believe that the definition of a nanosecond is the time between the traffic lights going green, and the person behind you beeping his horn
you don’t worry about how a picture ID can count for a lady who covers her face
you can receive any television channel in the entire world… but not Dubai TV
you agree that only men should be allowed to kiss and hold hands in public
you use the cold water tap to get hot water (& vice versa) during summer
you don’t even bat an eyelid when the fire alarm in a shopping mall or your office goes off for the 12th time today
you aren’t impressed by a ski-slope in the desert, massive islands in the shape of Palm trees or underwater hotels… but if it happens to rain a few drops you jump up & down like a hyperactive idiot.
you wear a jacket indoors, and take it off when you leave the building
