I've been to Dubai and boy do those brothers hate me there.

Every other person I speak to either owns a property in Dubai or knows someone who does.

I'm sick of hearing about how much you have spent or are going to spend in in Dubai.

I say to you all forget Dubai. I couldn't care less how many properties you got in Dubai and how great it is there because I love it here.

I don't care because those Arabs don't like Asian folk.

They treat us like rubbish. Why? Because to them the Asians are only good for driving the cabs and shovelling the sand into the sea.

Anything else and they don't want to know.

I went to buy some gold from the bazaar in Dubai and the brother wouldn't even serve me because he thought I was skint. I was indeed skint but he was not supposed to know that.

It's racism like I've never expereinced before. They say Britian is racist but go to Dubai and you will find out what you are really worth.

Even the Asians who are doing all the dirty work think you are a good for nothing scoundrel.

My cab driver was really nice to me at first but then stung me for fifteen quid. That made me feel at home in no time.

In the hotel the Vietnamese bloke behind the counter made some snide remarks about me booking the cheapest room.

I was proper annoyed all day long and couldn't sleep properly at night. When I complained to the manager he laughed at me and asked me when I was leaving because he needed the room for richer guests.

Then I went to the bar area and saw these Arab fellas come in with the full gear on and they sat down and were knocking back the drink like there was no tomorrow.

And they never once spoke to each other. They were too busy looking cool on their handsfree kits. Every now and then they looked in my direction and I am convinced they were calling me Paki' under their breath.

Finally, when I got to the airport they frisked me like I was common criminal. What did they think? That I was going to smuggle some manners back home?
