In 2008, I spent a year in Dubai. Dubai reminded me a lot of my home, Singapore. Beyond the glitzy glamor, the sweat and blood and lives of migrant labor from South Asia.
Like my friend likes to say, Dubai and Singapore are not clean cities; they are cleaned cities, cleaned by other people.
I disliked the fancy parts of town and spent most of my time in old Dubai. Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Indian, Afghan, Filipino restaurants. Those parts of Dubai, I liked.
