So we are eating at our favorite Indian restaurant (CHEAP!!! and good!) in Bur Dubai when we see a firetruck stop out front. Next the firefighter crew jumped out and started looking up into the ceiling of the restaurant and spraying some water/liquid up there. All the while inside smoke was filling the dinning room. Ironically, no one warned us, told us to leave, and not all the restauranteurs left their table, ourselves included. Funny, but this lack of fear for what could be a life-ending fire was one of the first little bits of Dubai that made me feel more at home...and also made me miss Tunisia a little more. You see, this is exactly the type of thing that would go on there. People hang out of speeding trains to catch the breeze, drive wildly, back busses to the point that you can't stand/breath....Funny what hits you the hardest when you are abroad. Also, funny how life is different sans frivolous lawsuits :).
