Hi Jeanette,
Is the Emir's Revenge like Montezuma's? If so, that doesn't happen down
here in Dubai. No, we just spend our lives catching colds/flus brought in
from the four corners of the world. Every September, January and May,
multiple viruses do the rounds; brought back by everyone returning from
holidays. When my kids were little, they would start coughing and sneezing
in May and not stop until we were on the plane out of here at the end of
June. I'm exagerating but ...only a little bit. I have not noticed the
jaudiced look you described; maybe the jaudiced attitude (grin). (Oddly
enough in these days of sun-tan awareness, I do see many expat women with
deep tans. Could they be covering the pale yellow?)
Best regards,
Carol
Dubai, UAE
