Feel of Racism or ?

Me and Hubby work with Emirates Group in Dubai. Being an employee there , you are entitled for discounts in almost everywhere,be it Hotels,Shopping,Night Life etc.
Its custom for us employees to check what are the offers before heading for  a weekend and utilize it for the fullest.

So me and hubby brainstormed(Yes we did!) and decided we will head to a club in  'Address' which is a five star hotel near to Dubai Mall.
We dressed up and I was even told to wear black nail polish to get that exotic look! And I did !

Hired a cab and reached the venue. There the bouncer standing with that rugged look and  he informs ' You need to have booking'. Just ten seconds before he let  other couple without asking anything.

Hubby :  'hmm.. hmmm ..We are Emirates Employees'

Bouncer : "Oh, Cabin Crew?????"

Hubby : "Nodded his head in 'YES'"

Me : Perplexed and  nodding in 'NO"...

Hubby gave me that frowning luk and  the bouncer let us in cuz he belived that we are Cabin Crew!!

The point here is hubby had the assurance and belief that he is qualified to be a Cabin Crew in Emirates Airlines (look wise ..:D )and I dint have that much of a low self esteem... ..

Neverthless,We enjoyed and the Music was good..We were the only Indians and brown skinned out there.Most of them were Cabin Crew of the Group..

Another weekend in Dubai Yet Again! Happy weekend Guys!
