Why do you hate Dubai so much?

@IloveCamels335 8 месяцев назад

When I first passed through Dubai in the early 2000s transiting to a different country.. I had similar feelings as you did.. like it was this weird desert place and I couldn´t connect to it at all. Was happy when the time came to leave again. Then I visited again, to come see a friend of mine who had moved there for a new job. And that second time around it was a totally different experience. Met some wonderful people and without planning for it I ended up staying. Now it´s 2023 and I have been living in the UAE for almost 2 decades and I love it and would not trade it for any other place. PS: there is beautiful nature, mountains, wadis, desert, sea.. you just need to go out of the city

@macapovilla Год назад

Loved your video and especially your comment about 'detours you did not mean to take' are the ones that seem to make the best memories. Unsure if you have ever visited New Zealand before, but I have made it my home and really enjoy it and thought you should put it on your to-do list. Wishing you all the very best...safe travels.

HI Eli, try to visit the Philippines from March to May, the summer months. Enjoy the beautiful beaches of Boracay, Siargao, Bohol, el Nido , Coron , etc. scenic and cool places like Tagaytay and Baguio. Rent a condo and Stay at the modern and secure location at BGC area in Manila. Lots of expats and people are friendly and hospitable. Cost of rent is around $500-700 a month at the BGC area. $300-500 a month around makati and Quezon City area. Cost if living is very affordable. Hope to see some of your blogs here.

You can't make lemonade unless life gives you some sugar to go with the lemons. Otherwise, all you get is lemon juice. As for the lassi, in Indian restaurants in the USA, it comes in three flavors--sweet regular, salty regular, and mango. (The mango version is always sweet.) In my opinion, the salty lassi tastes the way a wet dog smells.

Also if you want to experience a bit more culture travel to some of the smaller communities which have some hostels

Love Dubai. Called it home for 5 years. However, the moist level and especially the FUNGUS and MOLDS inside buildings (from Deira all the way to Marina)is disastrous . Only brand new and recently finished buildings are exempt from the over growing molds - basically anywhere in the apartment or the office or the shop. The worst is Dubai Mall - I catch more and more shops there covering the smell by spraying scents… even on the main passages of the mall. Another thing - the air quality is poor. If you have even a slightly bad sinusitis or anything with lungs… this is not your place to go. Another thing is : be aware you could get cheated wherever you go (except inside the malls). And last but not least: Covid and Russia-Ukraine war made the prices in Dubai skyrocketing which is not a thing I can accept having on mind the service level did not improve. One thing which is nice is: people are generally kind and polite - the foreign labor are kind and polite as they are forced to be. The majority of them are coming from quite poor countries so they do not want to make ANY mistakes and being sent back home (not just fired from work). This being said - I prefer fake polite than genuine and rude people. As a tourist place Dubai is maybe quite nice. But living there… a few things must improve before I return.

Incorrect comment about 'everything opens at 4 pm'. It applies to Global village as its totally outdoors and not suitable to roam about during the day when its very hot. There are tons of activities to do during the day which can start as early as you want. If you want outdoor activities, there are beautiful beaches and parks. All malls are open from 10 am till midnight. There are places which open even earlier and open past midnight. There are also lots of places to eat at pocket friendly prices all around UAE and open beyond midnight and all the cuisines from around the globe. And its the most safest city in the world.

I would love to buy an apartment in Dubai and visit there often. It’s safe, clean and there are no harsh winters or flooding like in many places today. If it’s too hot every place has air conditioning. There are restaurants with foods from all over the world, there’s every single designer shop and if you want local markets theres souqs everywhere. You meet people from all corners of the world in one place and make lots of cool new friends. And the nightclubs are just next level. You won’t find those pickpockets and bag snatchers like you do in Paris, London, Italy etc either.

Which country are you from?

@@Woollzable I wouldn’t say I’m from just one. Blessed to have always lived in a few at a time from Kenya, Germany, Canada and currently in the United Kingdom but always travelling around. Why?

I go to Dubai every few months for leisure travel and there is no other place like it on Earth. I live in Los Angeles, but I would trade that for Dubai any day of the week and twice on Sunday. The cost of living in Dubai is so much cheaper than L.A. and the weather is better, though hard to believe but it is. I like HOT and Dubai in the summer months is boiling. NICE!! Without a doubt, the most beautiful city on the planet.

Las Vegas has desert as well and cheaper than LA so why flying across the globe for heat.

@MrLou345 Год назад

@@grandvoyager Because of the beauty of Dubai. Dubai makes Los Angeles look like a dump and that shows you just how state-of-the-art Dubai is in every way possible. If you have never been there, then you can't imagine what i am talking about. The biggest, the fastest, the tallest, the most money etc etc etc, that is Dubai and there is no other place like it. I've traveled to more then 40 countries and hundreds of cities around the world and Dubai beats them all!

I have not been to Dubai, but for various reasons I never wanted to go there. Although the warm weather like in South America would suit me. As an original European, I would like the climate, quality of life, etc. in Sochi and Krasnodar better. If I wanted to change, I would choose these two cities in Russia. Greetings from Ecuador.

Another great video, like your honesty . . . seems everyone is trying to destroy that which is real and replace it with fake and then expect you to pay and like. Cheers.
