I have to admit that I always come back to those days when I was there, I’ve got such beautiful memories connected with that place...
This town has a deep soul, it lives its own life...
Frankly speaking this won’t be a typical description of a place, which I visited someday, somehow...
I’m not good at that kind of stuff, honestly I don’t even know how to write and if a few weeks ago someone told me that I’ll write a review which anybody could read - I would just laugh.
So if someone is counting on a full detailed description of Dubai, unfortunately I have to disappoint u...
The point is that I just need to share my thoughts and memories with someone. Although it has been over ten years since I’ve been there for the last time, I can still remember the smell of the air when I opened my window or feel the desert wind dancing in my hair when I used to walk in the evening on the warm sand. Yeah - that’s true...
Actually I miss it and I miss it a lot! I grew up in Dubai, with Dubai and thanx to Dubai. Though now I live in Poland, I’ve been a citizen of this emirate for five years...
Everything started in the middle 80 when I was just a kid, my dad got a job in UAE (United Arab Emirates) which was kind of a luxury considering the political and economic situation in Poland, (which was far away from what we would like it to be). Besides I had some quite serious health problems, which I could only cure by changing the climate, as the doctor said. All those factors and some other (less important) decided about our removal.
I can only imagine how hard it was for my parents to get used to a new surrounding, a completely different environment. For me it was quite easy, but I was a 3- year old kid and everything that mattered for me was my mom, dad and bro.
Almost everything I’ve done in Dubai, I’ve done for the first time in my life.
I’ve learned how to swim in the hot and crystal water of the Persian Bay. I’ve broken my arm for the first time while driving my bike with my neighbor, who after that accident kissed me... for the first time.
My childhood was absolutely perfect, and I’m so grateful to mother nature, that she gave me that opportunity to live in Dubai. To live in the city of magic.
City where the air is so hot that it almost burns your skin, where sometimes during the day u almost can’t breathe, cause of the high humidity. Where the moon is the biggest in the world and the sky is so blue that u could just fall in love with it...
I will always come back to Dubai in my dreams, and I just hope so badly that someday I’ll manage to turn back the hands of time, and return to my childhood...
I still have that T-shirt saying:
’’Smile - you’re in Dubai’’
...Oh yeah - for sure I would smile
