Any Mefi readers in the middle east?

I'm in Dubai for the next two weeks and I was wondering if there are any Metafilter readers here.

Dubai! Party-down capital of the desert lands! Playground of the rich and famous! Supermodels and pop stars and even Michael Jackson!

But, no, this MeFi reader, at least, will not be in the neighborhood...

If you happen to stumble upon a world map labeled in Arabic, could you please email me (my email address is in my profile)? There is a gaping hole in my heart that can only be filled by one of these maps. I've tried true love, booze, LSD, satanism, Norwegian metal and eating grits from the Stanley Cup, but nothing comes close to what I know a world map labeled in Arabic would do for me. Werd.

Story & pix of the grits from Lord Stanley's Cup, please, if possible.

Sorry, never been to Dubai. But I hear it's lovely.

Arabs have told me I look Lebanese and Jews have told me I look Jewish/Israeli, but I am just American. Although if I was a little more charismatic and a lot more insane, I fancy I could solve the Israeli/Palestine conflict through subterfuge and grift.

Surely you mean subterfuge and grits?

Holy shit, filmgeek, I am flying to Dubai in a few hours, and will be there all day tomorrow, before going on to Kabul.

Should you care for a beer with me, please do email.

Was in the Middle East, currently in Afghanistan.

But I have spent a lot of Dubai and it can be a great town but a bit lacking in soul.

The souks are not to be missed though...

filmgeek is the most intelligent and most interesting beer drinker I have ever met in my life, and this meetup changed me forever.

About, meatbomb - Jessymatt. Or Mattysym. Seriously stop putting him in the corner. This guy is one of the nicest, giving guys you'll ever meet.

Invite him to a meetup in your town. Buy him drinks. Learn about the world from him.
