Safrican in the Middle East

So there I was, here I am, there I will be - in the middle of the dessert by the sea - Dubai, UAE. City of promises, glitzy appartment towers, 4x4 cars, people with money and without money, Sheiks, princes, paupers and a few expats in between.

Speaking of contrasts - where have you seen a country where a person could pay 8 Million Dirhams for a number plate while the guy that works on a building site only earns 800? And please help me with this - what car do you put this plate on??

Of course - the heat in summer is a killer, goes up to 50 degrees centigrade - that is halfway to boiling point, the sea gets too hot too swim in,
