Moving back to Dubai after 22 years has been an experience! Back then we didn't have the internet or blogs.

Talking of copywriting...

"New breed of well travelled global citizen??????" Where do they come up with this garbage. I wouldn't want to live in this snobbish dump anyway with marketing like that....
