Main Post Office: Karama
Back in the West, I checked my mail daily. Every few days, a bill would arrive that had to be paid before it accrued interest, penalties, and/or having the utilities cut off. If I left my mail for two or three days, the junk mail would fill the mailbox to overflowing.
In Dubai, all my bills are paid by direct withdrawal, and I only get a few important items by post, so I don’t check more than a few times a month. Since Faysel, I haven’t been able to walk, so I hadn’t checked at all.
But today, with the aid of Proxen®, I decided to check my mail.
When I reached the post office, it was under construction. The sign said, ‘Sorry. Work: Expansion of Public Hall.’
And, as usual, there was nothing of importance.
As I left the post office, I heard the cannon signalling magrib, the time for iftar, which meant that the take-away iftar I had found on Sunday was already finished.

WOW, Faysel must have really given you a battering.
Have you heard from him since?
I hope you have moved apartments and changed your phone number. He may still be looking out for you.....Oh, I forgot he owes you spondoolas. In that case you will be safe as long as you don't lurk around the industrial areas again.
Dubai is an interesting place where i enjoyed much,,. mail services is quite not important as what others had experienced,,, that's really true...
Back to the west- Dubai an open city where everyone had freedom. So much thankful about on Main Post Office of Karama, now they operate back.
Having said that, it is REALLY hard to save because it's easy to get succumbed to the "comfy" life in Dubai...so expensive ^_^
