Mideast tour: feeling nostalgic for black dudes

August 30, 2007

We had a day off in between Kuwait and Qatar, and we were forbidden to leave the hotel “complex,” meaning the hotel and the attached shopping mall.

After seeing a multitude of men in dishdashas and women in burqas, I was on the down escalator and spotted, on the up escalator, a totally normal black guy wearing a baseball cap and Bluetooth earpiece!
