Most of the comments against her is really rude and offensive and came from people who did not see other countries. The laws sucks. Its a confused islamic country because in Islam, prostitution and alcohol is strictly forbidden. The laws are blur and holding different meanings for different categories of people. Yes dubai SUCKS.

I do live here for the last 9 years and I am from Germany. I don’t know what kind of life you have in Dubai but rest assured that more than 60% of expats are happy here. The other 40% just lazy to make a living. Yes you are right talking about prostitution, but who are the prostitutes??? Also expat!!! You forgot to say that! And yes I am happy they don’t have all that stupidity and nudeness which WEST AND EAST countries are showing all over the place; I do love to raise my kids here bcz I am not afraid!!! I am not afraid of learning what they learn home or in any other FREE country! Yes taxi drivers might smell but then buy a car, I am sure you can afford it! You don’t like the dress they use, DONT WACH! I don’t like also that we forgot that underwear should be under the dress and not visible….which sorry to say we do have the freedom to wear in our home countries; you see young ladies wearing close to nothing but is her freedom to do so, why not the arab women free to wear what ever she wants??? Who are you to judge? You don’t like it go back home but don’t brag about it if you have little self respect! As per the addresses first don’t forget that Dubai is a continuously growing country , street are changing every day, roads are closing or opening every day, today no bridge tomorrow 2 bridges in the same road so… however old areas they do have addresses and also P.O Box but …you have to pay for it.. I forgot …as you said every thing is expensive here! So go back home where you can have a BIG salary and all what you need: freedom, alcohol, fresh smelling taxi drivers, not speeding cars (if you hate the speed why are you complaining about the fines… you are not paying for it…since you did not over speed right!!!???) or impounded car (by the way they do impound your car only if you cross red signal or over speed with more than 60 Km/h of the street limit) but than you complain about things you are not informed about! Toilets….yes who makes them dirty ….let me think ….expats…yes the ones that are living in that bad conditions… Things are not all perfect here but where are.... I’d like to continue but I’ll never finish with you! You are just pathetic little women! My dear Tia, first let me ask you how many years are you in Dubai for?

Initially I thought this list was over dramatic and written by an arrogant 'westerner'. I mean who uses smelly taxi drivers as a reason for not moving to a new country? Well I can honestly say after being here for many months that most of the reasons listed are right on point. Dubai is lovely but not all that it's cracked up to be. Definitely do your homework before you decide to move here. I am enjoying my stay as I am learning a lot about the Middle East and Asian culture, but don't see it being long term. If you are into a multi-cultural environment and travel then give it a shot. But if you are an average Westerner who does not like to compromise or be flexible with your standard of living you may want give Dubai a skip.

She wasn't saying that America is far superior, she wasn't trying to be racist, she is just pointing out that she doesn't enjoy it Which is fine. Stop taking things so personally! I thought this article was entertaining and interesting and all of you who have gotten your panties in a twist that she is supposedly being racist and those of you questioning why she lives there need to get a life and stop getting so wound up over a little informative article on the internet. Find something more constructive to do! Hey everyone, chill out! She wasn’t saying that America is far superior, she wasn’t trying to be racist, she is just pointing out that she doesn’t enjoy it

As a white British woman, who happens to be muslim, I'm sick of the stereotypes. I don't wear a headscarf, but that's my choice and personally I think that there are more interesting topics of discussion concerning religion, geography and politics than what the locals are wearing. Having lived in Morocco I understand that it's easy to find fault with a country when you're missing home. What's sad is the generalisations some people make. My husband is Muslim and Moroccan but he's more interested in hip-hop and the gym than controlling me! Please stop confusing religion and politics because they really don't mix! No religion or country is perfect because they are influenced by people and people aren't perfect!!!I'm sick of this them and us mentality created mainly by the media. In the end we're all the same.
