My boss hooked us up for a little tour of the city, including the spice market, gold souk and creek. YAY!! We were all excited as we hopped in the Land Rover (or whatever the hell it was) and made our way through the hideous traffic to Old Dubai. Unfortunately we had a REALLY annoying and inappropriate tour guide who seemed well-travelled and worldly, but who had an awful chip on his shoulder about the gays. I happened to be with 3 people who are (as my mom says) festive. When he went off on the first tirade, within the first 5 minutes of meeting, we all had to smile and nod, so that he wouldn't take us into a back alley and kill us. Luckily (for him) he managed to stay off that topic and the rest of the morning was quite pleasant.
