My initiation into life in Dubai is somewhat a pricking thorn in my mind. It gave me a different perception of humanity, a different perception of Kenyans and to be more specific a somewhat strange perception of Kenyan ladies.
I came to Dubai a few years ago to seek greener pastures like everyone else. I was fortunate enough to get an interview and in the first week of arrival. I then had to find my way to the interview (some place called JLT), with uttermost confidence and clad in my only Italian suit then (I have 3 more now), I found my way to the metro (I was advised it’s the cheapest and best way of transport). At the Metro station it took 3 minutes for the metro to arrive and we all got in all and sundry. It was like a mini world of its own carrying a number of different nationalities all in their quest to get an honest living (well some might have been dishonest but who cares). There is always that feeling that is like a wonderful satisfactory inch in the eye when you see a fellow black person in a foreign country and it’s even orgasmic if the person is from your country.
