Last notes on London
Hey kids!
I'm complaining a lot about the many things that doesn't make sense in the UAE (in fact, the whole region's existence doesn't make sense), but something that really doesn't make sense in the UK is some of the sinks. There's one tap for hot water and one for cold. This stupidity reminds me a lot of how Arabs think.
I've uncovered another defect in the British system: It's not a microwave popcorn society. The only microwave popcorn I could find in the back of a store had an expiration date 5 years ago. I've been distressed as microwave popcorn counts towards my daily 5 servings of fruits and veggies!
I was going to stock up on Victoria's Secret, because the only lingerie you can find in the UAE is kinky-ass, hole-in-the-crotch panty-style stuff (this is what happens when sex is made illegal) or Gap underwear and I just don't do Gap. I was shocked to find that Victoria's Secret is not coming to the London until Summer 2012!!! So British women don't wear underwear???
It's so cold my teeth are freezing! What amazes me is that many restaurants have outdoor seating! It's like Iceland... I'm Happyfeet. I'm telling people I feel like a polar bear. They don't seem to understand what I mean, neither do I, but I know I feel like one.
I missed out on a job with an ULTRA high net worth individual * because I was overqualified. Does an overqualified person feel like a polar bear???
- I don't wanna go slumming by working for a high net worth individual, it's bad enough I'm currently working for a gigantic loser who flies...dare I say it...: commercial...!
Except for the great Italian and French cafes, the food in London is not gourmet. Even the nasty Arabs and even nastier Indians in Abu Dhabi, who can't do anything right, make better food!
I'm leaving tomorrow and haven't been able to land a job yet. I'm torn between London and New York. New York is the city I love, but I gotta say, Europeans are efficient, nice, courteous, and very laid back. I mean, they're strolling along in the TUBE as if they're on vacation!
On a final note: The soccer scandal in Egypt is representative of how uncivilized and disgusting the Middle East is. Let's take a silent minute to hate the Middle East now.
Take care!
