That’ll be 20 Dirhams even.

I love living the tax free life!

You may not know this, but there are no taxes in the UAE. None, nada, ziltch! If you work for a company here, you make what they say you make. When you go shopping, the tag IS the price. Even the restaurants include all the municipality fees and service charges (i.e., waiter/waitress tips).

It’s perfect for me. There are no surprises at the counter for not being able to do math. Well, except for the exchange rate, UGH! Now let’s see…is that multiply or divide by 3.48? Crap!

Okay, well obviously there’s still work to do, but I’ll leave it up to Visa.
