Polonia / Polish Community - Dubai or Abu Dhabi [53]

You will never be able to find out if there are any Polish people in Dubai unless you contact the Polish Consulate but there is one other way which I did when I was living in Qatar, the neighbouring country to the west. I figured that there must be Poles there because there are Poles everywhere in the furthermost corners of the globe. I took a plain white t shirt and on the front I wrote ' Czesc mam na imie Antoni. On the back I wrote in Polish ' Jesli umiesz przeczytac to co tu jest napisane to zglos sie do mnie osobiscie' Can you believe it that although this sounds like a cheesy way of doing it I actually made friends with a Polish community in Qatar of around thirty people all from different professional backgrounds and all keeping up their Polish traditions there in that islamic country. Imagine that I was in Qatar for seventeen years and was a significant member of the group. Try it! What do you have to lose?
