: Who is going to say no?
A woman just knocked on my door: she was holding a very tiny baby, and talking quietly in Arabic. The one thing I did understand was “money”, so I gave her some. I can hear the baby gurgling and her ringing the doorbells of my neighbours as I type.
Anyone had this happen to them? Begging of any form, by the way, is illegal in Abu Dhabi. This marks the second time someone has asked me for cash, aside from children during Eid.
