Dubai was also my hangout when I was in the region for a short period of time during the first gulf war. It was a bustling melting pot then. I remember the Deira Tower, an imposing skyscraper that rivaled many continental architectural gems. There was also the Golden Sandok, my favorite Filipino
restaurant and a hotel which had a Filipino cultural group in its
entertainment galore. I spent a night in that hotel just to be able to make a phone call to my family on the eve of the outbreak of the war. I loved the sook and actually spent a good deal on gold jewelry which I mailed home.
When I returned from the war, I found out that those things helped to reassure Perla, the kids and our friends that I was okay and that the war-weary region was fine because I could go shopping. Our friends told me that whenever Perla showed signs of discouragement, that they would tell her to stop feeling sorry and that she should feel blessed because she had the
kind of gold jewelry that they didn't have.--#
