The first date I went on in Dubai was to Nusret. I saw the bill and felt SO BAD I offered to pay the tip... the waiter and the guy looked at me like I had 3 heads. But my date laughed it off and said I would get used to it. And I did. And now I can’t date American men https://twitter.com/thejessiewoo/status/1310573087990185984

Like, I lived. I loved every minute of the year I lived there

Final words:
- This guy was a sincerely nice guy—we dated for a bit :)
- DXB is the best if you get to know the people. It may be intimidating but just say hi. Most ppl are sooo kind. And everyone’s looking for friends.
- NEVER SETTLE. Just adjust your zip code

Final-final words: THIS WAS NOT OUR BILL. Do y’all get how quote tweeting works But yes the bill I quoted (which was unrelated to my lil side story, sorry did not expect this to go viral) is in AED, not USD or £. That random bill is around $450 USD
