Finally safely arrived and learnt how much I in love with my country .

The departure date I was afraid when arrived the airport I kept asking all info from the counters until they get annoyed and said “nobody with you? Your boss?” I was so shamed and awkward, and when someone said “don’t worry you gonna see muslim movies and eat camel curry” that really creepy.

I was stiff sitting in my seat 6hrs till arrive Abu Dhabi without using toilet due to too scare, especially landing part its so horror my legs went paralyze, my heart stop pumping and I’m counting live or die, live or die until the wheel touched the ground so knew I still alive. After landing I was searching for toilet and found it finally at first I thought somebody plot the plan to kill me coz I’m Asian traveling alone. the toilet water too hot its burn my ass and I realized when arrive my boss house coz I heard my body fat burning sounds and boss told me that now its 2 AM, weather 38-40 degree centigrade, then he shows me my bed room and his bed room I was curious coz at the end of his bed room there is curtain wall so I want to look outside to see nice scenery but it turnout to be the mirror which larger than life so that morning I can’t sleep well, not sure if becoz excited of the trip or what my boss and his gf doing with that big mirror. 

In the day time heat even worse its 55 degree centigrade everything is burnt, no one walk in the street and there is no motorbike and hardly find bus, mostly taxi. On second day I’m quite proud of myself when I sniff my armpit it was Arab food and think wow I’m a good adaptor. While walking for lunch I was pass a hundred work men when they saw me and staring like hunger lions ready to tear me into pieces I’ve never seen this in my life and boss laughing and ask “ do u see that”? That’s make me don’t want to go out anywhere only work and home. 

The ppl in the office very sweet and kind to me, excepted their accent that make me insecure coz when they asked me “do u understand what I said” I said “yes I think I can imagine” when they asked again I said “I think I can visualized what u said” honestly my English is a bit poor and the office ppl here are alien, my boss is French and 2 Indian, 1 Filipino and a Syrian oh dear I really appreciated the accent. Last day I’m there we out to have lunch, I saw group of work men staring at me again, my boss keep telling me to look at their eyes which I refused coz why look at what make me insecure and there was a fast running car and when the driver saw me he break his car at one in intersection without care the other car running behind him, my boss said he’s so stupid to do that just to look at Soda, I don’t see u are beautiful at all for  me you look like a chameleon, well I thought if I were chameleon he would be Iguana. 

On return day they were not allow me to get in and said my passport no stamp and keep asking, how do I know since this is my first trip and they keep me for hr questioning even I show them my invitation visa, I explain everything but like I lied and at last gate someone asked me to have body search with a girl  which I remember her well (she’s a Muslim) she treat me like I’m a vermin. She asked me if I from Bangkok and I said yes when she knew that she act like she going to puke and used only one of her hand touch me below my bra down to above of my belly button then tell me to go so I asked my boss if I look like a hooker, he said she is bad girl. Maybe coz of my new hair style, I told the salon girl  just make it like Leona Lewis in her music VDO bleeding love but turnout I look like a ho…L and boss said I should be kept there for a week to learnt new things there. :( 

On the plane back to Bangkok I was so excited and don’t want to miss any movement of the plane and tried to use toilet but I don’t know how to open so asked the air hostess that was so embarrassed part. I’m back with my boss and a Swedish guy, they enjoy talking together and my boss asking that guy “Soda is my staff she wants a foreigner husband, do u have friends? That guy look at me then said” later” I thank him for his kindness and turn to my boss “U know my type boss I prefer blonde and blue coz they are exotic”JJ I’m sorry I don’t have any pictures in Abu Dhabi coz no time and too scary I went to work not holiday tho and that I consider myself lucky I’m still alive

sorry about bad time....cultural differences with standing some of it is just you're not muslim because there are thai muslims. Your boss wanted you to look them in the eye because they usually will not be so disrespectful to you. If the future remember to be a strong woman and life is easier!

Soda, probably you don't travel much by plane .......... For me the most exciting part is taking off and landing, the rest is boring ;-) ....... Did you travel with Etihad? They have all brand new planes.

Maybe the workers staring at you was because your body was not properly covered like it should be in the UAE. I don't know because I only have been on transit in Abu Dhabi.

Anyway welcome back home (your home).
