Some of the pictures may not be flattering especially given all the glam sham in Dubai today. But believe me you - life in this tiny nation back then was the best ever. <BR/><BR/>Everybody knew everyone else back then – strangers helped one another. Everyone was in for the ride together.<BR/><BR/>Those "were" the days - only if you'd been with us to experience the true UAE. It was a different vibe altogether?roshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03271894997251528158noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-53413516605837454152007-05-29T09:35:00.000+04:002007-05-29T09:35:00.000+04:00dubai then is way better than the shithole it is t...dubai then is way better than the shithole it is today! and that is my opinion and i will appreciate u leaving the post asir, thank uAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-77144693478110285952007-05-29T00:16:00.000+04:002007-05-29T00:16:00.000+04:00looks like the Dubai my parents grew up in.looks like the Dubai my parents grew up in.Harshahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02226854548006061537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-70253403872997311082007-05-28T18:10:00.000+04:002007-05-28T18:10:00.000+04:00Hey - looks just like Sonapur today !Hey - looks just like Sonapur today !huthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09299456569511629114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-66149390584620340812007-05-28T17:27:00.000+04:002007-05-28T17:27:00.000+04:00These are some really nice images.

I would have definitely never considered coming to Dubai if this is how it was.<BR/><BR/>secret, what happened to you? You won the lottery! That's what happened. An entire country won the lottery. It's not like there were tens of thousands of hard working locals who decided to turn their lives around. They just won the jackpot.<BR/><BR/>It doesn't matter how the money came about to me. The end result is not too bad. It made me want to come to Dubai. I certainly don't care for the nomadic lifestyle.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-57796335380456666732007-05-28T17:22:00.000+04:002007-05-28T17:22:00.000+04:00i wish it was like taht 2day!!i wish it was like taht 2day!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15456688.post-38459200286844570352007-05-28T15:42:00.000+04:002007-05-28T15:42:00.000+04:00Fantastic shots.
