Stages Of Visiting A Cold Country As A Dubai Person

1. Lemme pack my entire winter wardrobe just in case

Seriously, I checked the weather and it’s gonna be freezing. Wait, do I own a winter wardrobe? 

2. Actually, I’ll still pack some shorts in case it gets sunny

Optimism is key, folks!

3. Habibi, it’s not that cold! 

I can totally do this, move over, snow, this is hot stuff right here.

4. What the heck is this thin, weak rain?

We have water spray fans that are just like this, I got this.

5. It’s kinda hot under all these layers

Starting to sweat a little actually. Where my shorts at?

6. OMG did I enter a house or a sauna?! What is this oppressive heat?

Starting to sweat a lot actually.

7. “So how’s Dubai?” “Well it’s non-stop sunshine and we don’t have to deal with this ridiculousness”

Seriously, where is your sun? Is it ok?

8. Hm. Maybe I should have packed warmer things

Although the warmest thing I own is this light coat I’m currently shivering in.

9. Ok, I might as well bin these shorts and flip-flops

But what if we go swimm- nope. They’re gone.

10. I have found the solution: I will eat my way to warmth

It is the only way.

11. Take me home… take me hoooooome

Please.
