My Dubai Experience It was a sunny day in Dallas on the 10th day of July, 2014. I had a united airline boarding pass in my hand, waiting in this long line with my boyfriend as we embark on our first vacation for Dubai, United Arab Emirate. He is from a family of 6. He was the last born of the family. I had known him for about 6months and during that time I had grown very fond of him. Our relationship began to flourish and that in the near future we would begin to grow closer. We both needed a break from our stress filled lives and I was hoping I could help him overcome whatever tragedy happen in his life because I didn’t understand why he was depressed and get drunk most of the time. He had told me about few things that has transpired between him and his past relationship, but it just didn’t explain all of his emotional problems. Throughout the plane ride, He spent most of the time asking the flight attendants for tasty juice and alcohol. He looked out the window with longing eyes. His eyes seem to be passing a message across to me, but I don’t quite understand. I didn’t understand what was missing from his life. The plane arrived in Dubai. We were ushered like a sheep through the customs and immigration. Our baggage was taken by Hammed, a cab driver that we already reserved. We arrived at Hotel Dusit. It was more like being in a paradise. What more could you ask for other than paradise? The hotel is fully furnished like a presidential villa. We had our private kitchen, Living room, master bedroom and a lobby with a nice city view. Our reserved suite was on the 32nd floor. I looked out of the window, it is a wonderful and beautiful view. The city is full of tall buildings and lakes. It`s just a simple concept we all hope for, but never achieve. Looking behind me, I saw my boyfriend with a bottle another bottle of alcohol in his hand. I approach him in a caring and romantic manner, then he said

My husband and I felt that it was time for us to reward ourselves for all the hard work we have been putting in over the years by purchasing our first home, which was well overdue. I quickly learned the process of purchasing your first home can be very frustrating and stressful.

    I knew he was the guy I wanted to spend the rest of my life with . I remember it was a very hot summer in 1989, when called me to invite me to a party and asked me to look as beautiful as possible . I had no idea what he had planned. When he picked me up he gave me gorgeous white roses like he had done on our first date. He then mentioned that there had been a change of plans and that we were going to have dinner instead. After dinner, we went and got ourselves delicious strawberry ice-cream cones. I hadn't noticed that were doing the exact same thing, as the day he asked me to be his girlfriend. It was like having our first date all over again, but even more special than the first we had a few years back.When we arrived to my house we stayed in his truck talking about everything and anything. He gave me a serious look and said, "I stole something from you". I gave him a confused look when I saw him reaching into the backseat and grab the same old jewelry box he had given me. I started to laugh and asked, "why you did you take it?" He just sent a grin my way and said, "Open it". As I opened the box I felt my heart beating faster and faster, and my hands started to sweat. At that moment I saw a paper in there that read, " Would you do me the honor of becoming my wife and give me the pleasure of making you happy for the rest of our life?". I felt as my tears cascaded down my cheeks, I was beyond happy, surprised and speechless all at once. I looked at him and let out a sob and reached over the console and hugged him. "Yes, yes, yes I want to be with you forever, I love you," I cried as he pulled out a beautiful ring and put it on my left hand where my fourth finger meets my…

    It was about ten years ago, I was nine at that time. During the summer vacation, our family visited an uncle who lived in a village in Sichuan. We stayed there for a week, which I thought it seemed three months. That place made me feel uncomfortable. One early morning, I was awakened by father and requested to work in farm for a day as uncle was sick suddenly. My work that morning was to feed the chickens. The living environment was simple and crude as only straw and wood there. It was noisy, chickens were all roaring cock-a-doodle-doo whole day and annoyed me. Chickens eat there and excrete there, they seldom have a bath. The smell there was much smellier than in public toilet in China and nearly made me vomit. I picked up the feeds and put it into the trough. I saw they ate happily and nonstop. I tried a few feeds; they were tasteless and dry which like some overdue stuttered white bread. Suddenly, a chicken pecked my hand with its sharp mouth and started chasing me. It was painful and a little blood grasped out. I was scared and ran to wash my hand immediately. What a terrible experience! I cried in there for a whole night and begged my parents to bring me home as soon as possible.…
