The little things
You know what my favorite part about Dubai is? Forget the world's tallest building or only 7 star hotel. Forget that I can go skiing in the desert. Never mind going to a women only water park. I love LOVE that in Dubai milk tastes the same as in does in America. If you've ever spent time in Libya you know exactly why I value this. I had geared up for the same nasty boxed milk like in Libya that is ultra pasteurized. Instead they have fresh milk in vitamin D, low fat, and skimmed. As my nephew Zackariyah says "its delisheesh!" The only thing with milk here is that it spoils really fast. If you don't finish the bottle within 3-4 days, it become Laban, buttermilk. I inquired as to why, apparently they don't put as much preservative as the do in the States. I'm fine with that. As long as I can have a cold glass with their gross local dates (I'll fill you in on that later), I'm happy. In life, it isn't about the glitz and glamour. Its about the little things that count

Hi! Just wanted to let you know that I was reading :)
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean. Whenever I come back from Libya, I sit down with a box of cereal and a gallon of milk and just relish in the greatness of it all.
ReplyDeleteMilk has come a long way back home for us too. I remember when I first bent back, it was still powder milk that they made for us, but this last time... REAL milk!!!
ReplyDeleteHey Assia! Just wanted to let you know that for the first time I drank a cup of milk in Libya. They FINALLY have skim milk here too and its not that bad actually. I know what you're talking about because I refused to drink the milk here (just awful) but it def. has come a LONG way :)
