"Let's Bump Noses" - CP sesh 4

That's what my new CP told me they do in Dubai when they say, "hi". They bump noses. For real. I thought that interesting. I also learned that in Saudi Arabia the man give each other a little cheek bump on each side. I learned that the Sheesha in Tallahassee is worth less than Camel's piss (my words). However, there's great Sheesha in Orlando.

My new CP is a nice fellow. He's a police officer in Dubai and his job sent him here to learn better English. We talked a little about religion. He asked me if I believe in God. I always feel at a loss in conversations like that. Spirituality is very important to me but I never know how to communicate in a way that makes sense and that I feel truly expresses what I believer (or even do). He does not drink as part of his religion. He seemed kind of sad to find out that I do. That bothers me not at all.

All in all, he's a very nice young fellow and he taught me a lot about respect in Dubai. Maybe I will go to his country. I know that if I do and they serve me camel it will be a sign of respect. Chicken or fish the first time would be disrespectful. The customs are specific and change from place to place but generally I feel it's respectful if you give someone your full attention and try to meet them where they are. I told him I strive to be conscious and have conscious relationships. I don't do it all the time but it is my intention. I think the world will be a better place if it's inhabitants are conscious.
