Dear jdl,
Probably for the same reason you find the McDonalds at the foot of the Spanish Steps in Rome mobbed by Yanks.
Some people like to travel without traveling.

| Well, for me the one redeeming feature of the risible and appalling UAE, aside from the great money for the lack of work we did (RIP UGRU) was the thinking and drinking and more drinking with the myriad interesting folk who had failed to realise that they had to get out of ESL / EFL before the age of 30 and ended up washed up at on the shores of the final best paid McJob in EFL. |

Like others, perhaps, you were too busy having a fine old time wenching and wining in various outposts of expat land. |
