Secret Dubai's Favourite Yellow Worm is Back

It was last week that I saw Modesh in front of Hamarain Centre, but I felt obliged to mention the 2007 Human Trafficking Report and what it said about the UAE, so I didn't mention Modesh then.

I was with a couple of Aussies several summers ago, when they asked me, 'What is that yellow worm?'

My two Aussie friends may not be the sharpest knives in the drawer, but I had to agree with them (after they'd said it), Modesh does look rather like a yellow worm.

Of course, I'd seen him animated on Dubai TV (then 33, then One, now One and 7), so I had other images in my mind, but my Aussie friends never watch free TV, so they saw Modesh for the first time while they were driving through Dubai one summer (before going back to Aus.), and 'yellow worm' was their impression.

In any case, he's with us now for the rest of the summer.

And, for Secret Dubai, the 50 degree heat characteristic of summer in Dubai is a very minor inconvenience in comparison to having to put up with Modesh.

ARRGGGH!!!!! I HATE THAT THING!!!!!!

The first time I saw it rear its foul jaundiced head this year - by the Trade Centre - I nearly rammed my car into it out of desperation.

It's that worm or me. I'm not putting up with another summer of it.
