Recently I did a 4 day layover in Dubai and unexpectedly ran into some old friends now at Emirates (in the Crown Plaza bar)..they are single and seem to love it...but in the same few hours we were screamed at by an Iraqi prostitute! Who told me I was evil and would be struck dead, then wanted to come spend the night for a few$. I dont think I could live there...besides a beer was about 9 bucks!!
