I've traveled to many places but never seen anything like this before. So many people are caricatures. They do seem to realize it on some level though. I just can't help myself and start laughing and they invariably start to apologize and excuse themselves. It's been quite an experience. I miss abu dhabi already. It's grand, perhaps grotesque but such an amazing place to live. Well i do hope i get more used to the american way and find the good stuff i can appreciate bc i'll probably be coming here a lot more often. The ppl at my company hq have been great though.
