Will lift for boobs!
As some of you saw, I went to Dubai with my wife and daughter to visit my dad who works there.
We were there for about 10 days, and in those 1 days I realized how much is wrong with our country and some of the people working an living here.
1. When we landed in Dubai, the custom queue was huge as it was festive season and lots of tourists were heading there.
As we stood in the queue for about 15 minutes, a guy walking through the queue seeking out elderly people and people with young babies to take to the front of a special queue. Everything was well organized, clear and direct.
When we landed back in SA total opposite. The queue was long again, but we stood and did not mind or complain. When we got to the front of the customs queue the guy gestured into a direction of 5 counters which were occupied by a worker (10 empty counters), I asked him to which one must we go and he grunted a response which i presumed meant any counter.
2. Not 1 Pot hole. Not even 100km out into the middle of the desert. Flowers planted next to roads in 40degree Celsius plus and no garbage lying around in Dubai. They take pride in their country and keep it clean and working.
I have 2 great examples of this from when we were there.
We went to the complex pool the one day and noticed it was totally empty. The Life Guard then told us it is closed because the waters color was not optimal. Looked perfectly fine to us, but not up to standard for them. So instead of dealing with it later once the pool has to be drained. They fix it there and then.
We also went to a restaurant for Breakfast as the Mall of Emirates and noticed it was close. We went to ask why. They told is there was a funky smell and they will open once it is gone and fixed.
Here if we sit in Wimpy a funky smell is nothing strange, we close our noses and continue eating.
3. Everything works as it should.
The only 2 things that put me off was that the standard of living is very high, and it gets extremely hot!
But I would love to raise my child there. Safe, good education and it is very diverse.
