I just sent off your so-called Easter presents this evening, and despite your lack of love for all things Middle Eastern, these things are all Middle Eastern.  And for 332-dirham postage, you better appreciate them.  I had to leave the post office, go to an ATM machine and withdraw yet more money I no longer possess in order to pay for it.

Then I had to take a bus back home, and three of us got so tired of waiting we bound together and just shared the costs of a taxi...for which we waited a full 45 minutes for it to appear.

So now I'm really tired!  I'm really poor!  And I still have more stuff to ship home!  It's costing more to ship this stuff than it cost to buy it!  I wish we could have just all met up in Frankfurt...but like Abu Dhabi, it appears you are determined to sabotage me.

Fare thee well, good people!  For I may be reduced to working here in servitude till I pay off my debts.
