I couldn't help but feel the same way about Dubai. My values and beliefs (even though I drink) kept confusing me while on this residency; between what I grew up knowing about the region and what I was seeing...dude that was just hypocrisy at its best.

The reason you couldn't sit down and talk with an Emiratee is because they have mostly sequestered themselves. The relationship between the GCC members is strained right now. If you remember the talk Qasimi gave us, he mentioned something about the politics of the region specially regarding the monetary union.
