Not only Dubai. It is the same everywhere to some extent. I think we make certain experiences and just can't help but to draw from them in certain situations.

I dunno about that though - when I was in the UK I worked with people from all kinds of backgrounds and nationalities but never remotely felt stereotyping was necessary - I just assumed that everyone had 3 braincells to rub together and would do their best, be vaguely honest and were generally hard-working, decent people... and they were... in most cases.

To some extent yes but the Gulf is on a different level to North America or UK. I am not saying there aren't other places out there that are just as bad, just that compared to many Western countries, the Gulf is on a whole another level.

Ex-pats who lose touch with reality - you know the ones:
Back in UK, they would be quite 'ordinary' and not particularly well paid.
They come to Dubai and find thay can afford a big 4 x 4, a maid, a nice apartment, weekly brunches and holidays to the Far East.
Suddenly they become superior, think they are a cut above and treat lower paid workers like sh1t.
Caveat - not that this applies to anyone on this forum, you're all a great bunch!

Being in Saudi I hate most the black sack.
Once I left this country for good and are back home I'll make a nice campfire with it and will dance naked around it

But why do you hate it? I found it very practical. No need to worry about your outfit, make up...just throw it on, put the scarf on, no worries about bad hair days, giant pair of shades, and voila, you are ready to face the world! ( Well, the world in Saudi )Plus, you can get some really nice looking ones.

You know in films when a rather pressed key character comes up to a jobsworth, who thwarts him or her and then the character flips, grabs the jobsworth by a tuft of hair and proceeds to smash his/her face to a pulp on the counter in a fit of rage?
This place makes me feel like doing that sometimes...
