I ll tell u a different purpose of 'travel'...
when its not for page 3...
sure dubai was exciting and den ...something else for after a year of it..
i liked the sand ... and the sounds it made..
i loved the tent and the hospitality extended to me..
there was a cat or lots of dem..
who would come around at weird hours at the tent..
not for food really...
just to hang around...
and there were camels..
the grace and kindness of that kinds ...
is hard to ignore..
my delusion is : when u respect and understand a culture..
the gods of those lands : bless u : follow u.
