Spring Break 2014----April 1-April 15

Who was Matar?  He was an angel.  He pretty much kept me from sleeping in my car after one week.  He felt terrible that in his country a woman had to sleep in her car because of the school's injustice.  I told him, it was okay, and that I can "rough it" until school starts again.

He wouldn't hear of it.  He said to me, "We are great friends, and I want to help you." 

I told him, "I can never pay you back, unless you just give me like 1,000 dirhams."  He told me to go to Al Ansari Exchange, much like Western Union, and pick up the money he gave me.  I found out that through his act of kindness, when I was much in need, he gave me like 5,000 dirhams.  I cried and cried. 

I told him, "This is not fair!  I can never pay you back.  This is 1/2 of my monthly salary."  He told me that he did it for God.  We stayed good friends and he even offered to marry me, even though he already had a wife, but because I couldn't take him away from his family life, I declined his offer.  I am and always will be a monogamous person. 

With that money he insisted that I spend a week in a 5-Star hotel, but I told him, no, I will find a place where I can stay for a month.  So, I booked a hotel apartment for a month at the Dream Palace Hotel in Ajman, UAE.

Here the story continues.
