Ask Me About Dubai
My current job entails living/working in Afghanistan nine months a year. I spend about 90 days in the war-torn country, then have about 30 and change off to spend however I like. On my way in and out of Afghanistan each rotation, I travel through and spend a few days in Dubai. For example, I just returned to Afghanistan on Thursday, and spent Tuesday and Wednesday in Dubai. I'm scheduled to return to the United States May 15th, and will chill in Dubai for 2-3 days before catching a flight back home. I haven't spent any prolonged amount of time in Dubai but usually get out and try and see and experience the city each time I'm there, so I've picked up on some of the local customs and courtesies. I think an obvious question might be "Why don't you do an Afghanistan AMA?" The answer to that would be that I live on a NATO airfield, and have never been "outside the wire" to experience what life might be like. Plus you could just read the news.
