If you don't like it, you know where the exit is

“Dear Miteshi - baa baa black sheep. Yawn yawn - at least you could have been original. But it is obvious you are not an Emarati as i know plenty who don't agree with you.”

“Ah the legendary open-mindedness of the UAE where free discussion about life here and where things work and where there is room for improvement are always welcomed”

“@ Mute**** - learn how to spell Rebecca right in the first place and it might just help your argument go a bit further.”

“Why get so defensive Muteshi?? No country is without its pros and cons. Admittedly, some of the complaints are without merit, and that is simply human nature. Others are totally justified and stem from the desire of people to improve. It's short sighted, aggressive, people with no common sense whatsoever that use this boring and nonsensical 'if you don't like it, leave'. It's idiots like you that I'm complaining about, but I'm not moving anywhere because of you!!!”

“If I hear one more person say yet another variation of 'if you don't like it, leave' I think I might go mad. This anti-criticism attitude is just bizarre. If you don't like your job, do you immediately quit? No, you discuss with your employer to make changes that will help to improve things. If your car has problems, do you just abandon it? No, you work with technicians to fix it so that it works properly. Sure, sometimes there are things that can't be changed or fixed easily but that doesn't mean we shouldn't try. If we see problems around us, turning our back on them and walking away is the WORST thing you can do for the community in which you have chosen to live. Please stop propagating this anti-criticism attitude because it helps no one and allows society to stagnate or decline instead of evolve and improve. Just because something has been a certain way for a long time, doesn't mean it is the best way. Times change and societies have to change too or they become redundant and fail.”

“If you don't like people speaking their mind, pack up and go back to your country where freedom of speech does not exist.”

“Morning dear Miteshi,
Rebecca is here!
If you had read Greatful's letter carefully, you would have understand that HE/SHE was ACTUALLY thanking me for being what I am (she wrote "Dear Rebecca, I am so happy there are expats out there like yourself.") and for my published letter!
What organs did you use when you were reading the two letters: mine and Grateful's? :)

Please, read my letter carefully, and tell me- if can you find one word in it which expresses my frustration/ disappointment/ that I were unhappy with this country? There was a great advice in my letter for all the expats to try to adjust to a new environment and to keep in mind cultural differences when interacting with people.
Did I actually insult anyone or advise to be unfair to maids or workers or anyone else? I recommend again and again that keeping a distance with maids, drivers or gardeners here is good for both parties. Surely, a woman should not talk to a MALE driver here the way she normally would in her home country because women in his native land do not talk to unrelated men (unless this friendly expat woman wants to send him a wrong message). It is not about being evil or snobbish- it is called reasonableness.
So far I am happy and enjoying my life and a new experience here, and I do love my roots as any normal human being. I know one day I must leave, but I am/would be grateful for everything.”
