So I managed to lock myself out of my car while the engine was running... Called police. Then the guy was on his way he called me for directions and when he was close I thought I saw his car and flagged him down. Since I live on a construction site he took a piece of wood and was about to break into my car via the open window in the backseat. I was like: "Wait! That's not very professional! Don't you have tools???" Meanwhile, my mobile rings and some guy says: "Mam, I can't find you. Please give me directions - " Turns out the man about to break into my car is not the policeman... Oh goody... After the guy from the police (or who knows at this point since he comes in an unmarked car) has opened my cardoor in less than 30 secs (makes you worried right there) I give him a passport copy. He says he doesn't need it, but I insist since I'm sure he has to give it to his supervisor. He says: "I asked you if this was your car and you said yes. Khalas." Honestly, only in the Arab world. I'm thinking about going to Thailand with a colleague or by myself. Not sure I'll be able to stand someone for 7 days... It's so cheap that I can afford to go by myself. The weird part is that even though I've moved to Los Angeles, San Diego, New York, Dubai and Abu Dhabi on my own, I'm hesitant to go for vacation to Thailand by myself. It's so far... Take good care of yourselves! EFTA_R1_00494124 EFTA01998496
