The Men's Club

If you ever plan to take a nice stroll in the evening during this time of the year...especially by the creek in Dubai..do it after 8pm. Otherwise you will be totally drenched...yes DRENCHED!..as if you just got out from the sauna...within 10 minutes. Pretty lady with mascara..try it..i guarantee..u will get a big part in The Rocky Horror Picture Show!
Anyway..the 3 of us decided to take a walk around the old Bastikiya ..next to the museum. And just around the corner...we stumbled upon a wooden shack ! A group of local guys (not young) were sitting outside..smoking shisha and laughing away. One of them waved us over.

"Excuse me...is this a clubhouse?" I volunteered.

"Yes..yes...come..come..u want tea?"

"Is it for men only? can we take a peek?"

"No problem..u go in..but take off your shoes..and just say 'I love you!'...hahahahahahahaha!"

The entire place is air conditioned..a group of guys were sitting on cushions. Some were watching the telly...a group at one corner were playing Domino..another were just chatting and laughing. One of them waved to me to sit beside him. I took the opportunity to probe further.

"Yes...the ladies have their own meeting place..only the tourists...men..ladies..come here to take a look"

"Any hanky panky?" I asked.
A blank stare.

"Everyday..we come here 4pm..go home 2am..we talking..work...family...business..drink tea..eating..u want join us tonite?"
