Prices and climate of the UAE do not suit Tatiana very much, as well as the wary attitude to people like her, the so-called ‘tourists’, but stability, developed tourism and general comfort compensate for it. And Tatiana told about the disadvantages of Dubai life in her next blog.
…I never want to write about negativity, but to be fair, I have to share what I myself have encountered.
To smooth the edges, I will publish along with it the beauty of beach photos.
The first thing I’d like to mention is the temperature. If you have never once faced the constant heat over fifty Celsius, you will have a very bad time in Dubai. Even those who dream of warming up after the cold of northern latitudes or the gloom of the middle zone, very quickly ceases to perceive Dubai’s warming as some great benefit. Add to this the prohibitive humidity and lack of cold water in the faucet, and the picture of summer Dubai is complete. There are, of course, air conditioners, but you will not constantly sit in a closed room and put kilowatts on the meter, electricity in this country is not a cheap pleasure….
Hay un matiz interesante en la poligamia generalmente aceptada en Oriente: si la primera esposa no da su consentimiento, el hombre no puede meter a otra en casa, así que Tatiana tiene un cierto «seguro» contra la aparición de otras mujeres en casa de su marido, y no lo va a olvidar.
Los precios y el clima de los EAU no le sientan muy bien a Tatiana, así como la actitud recelosa hacia la gente como ella, los llamados «turistas», pero la estabilidad, el turismo desarrollado y el confort general lo compensan. Y Tatiana contó los inconvenientes de la vida en Dubai en su siguiente blog.
…Nunca quiero escribir sobre la negatividad, pero para ser justa, tengo que compartir lo que yo misma me he encontrado.
Para suavizar las aristas, publicaré junto a ello la belleza de las fotos de playa.
Lo primero que me gustaría mencionar es la temperatura. Si nunca te has enfrentado al calor constante de más de cincuenta grados centígrados, lo pasarás muy mal en Dubai. Incluso aquellos que sueñan con calentarse tras el frío de las latitudes septentrionales o la penumbra de la zona media, dejan muy pronto de percibir el calentamiento de Dubai como una gran ventaja. Si a esto añadimos la prohibitiva humedad y la falta de agua fría en el grifo, la imagen del Dubai veraniego está completa. Hay, por supuesto, aparatos de aire acondicionado, pero no se sentará constantemente en una habitación cerrada y pondrá kilovatios en el contador, la electricidad en este país no es un placer barato…..
Rare rains, most of which are artificially induced, cause collapse in Dubai. Streets are submerged, the airport stops, and there is widespread panic in the city.
If you find yourself in a sandstorm, you will taste the sand, and without special glasses you simply cannot navigate in the open. Thank goodness sand flies relatively infrequently here.
Turning your wallet so that your money doesn’t go abroad is one of the main tasks in the UAE. In addition to renting a flat, which is a very large sum, you pay for every step and service – internet, communication, parking… If suddenly you have to face dentistry or other medicine, you will understand that it is simply impossible to get sick here.
Children – another and very significant item of expenditure. As you a minimum of 1000 dollars for kindergarten. This is for the younger group, for a start, then you will have to pay in increments… Free clubs? What’s that?
No terry patriotism and perception of traditions of the East, even perfect knowledge of the language will not help you to become a citizen of the UAE. Money, money and only money invested in investments, property, preferably as expensive as possible – this is the only way to get a passport with the emblem of this country.
