We have noticed a few subtle differences here in Dubai, milk tastes more or less the same, but expires in 4 days. Product labels are still bilingual, but include Arabic instead of French. Laundry soap (or at least the soap at the hotel) seems to function the same way, but it is presumably missing one little word from the product label – hypoallergenic. Nicholas is gaining a new appreciation for that feature. About a week after we arrived he started to feel like his skin was crawling, next came some small red bumps, now it’s full on hives. He is starting to look like he sleeps in a patch of poison ivy. He is itching to get out of the hotel and away from their toxic laundry service. He is managing alright though, with the help of a new bedtime routine and some fancy pajamas. Hopefully we find a place to live soon….
Nick is allergic to Dubai.
