Sitting at the table, I catch up in my tech world. Next to me a couple chats in lively French, with scattered laughter, over a brownie a la mode and espresso.
At the next table, the beautiful covered woman smiles through the Arabic conversation with her companion. From my vantage point, the convo is going quite well as the cappuccino arrive.
In front of me, the Emirati man studies his mobile as he awaits his lunch.
Then I busy myself in American English with my seat-mate.
What a lovely melting pot of languages, people and cultures. One of the many pleasures of living in this region.
Aloha,
Denise
