Dear Mrs. T. Dias,
Try being a Portuguese citizen, things might change
for you.

> Asians - especially Indians and Pakistanis (For
> Pakistan even worse after
> 9/11)- are not treated well all over the world
> especially the West, but I
> was surprised to read this happens in the UAE too.

> What hurts most is how difficult it is to obtain a
> normal visit visa to
> travel abroad - including travelling to India. The
> reporting at the police
> station (CIA center) aggravates one the most when
> travelling to India or
> vice versa. Why can't the two governments put their
> heads together and
> find a simpler way for reporting - say when one
> enters the airport or do
> away with the reporting system totally. A whole day
> is wasted going through
> this procedure. The people in the West do not face
> such hardships. Which
> shows they are superior to the Asians, no hitches
> for them for travelling
> to any part of the world. Is this not racial
> discrimination?? Yet you find
> so many Asians immigrating to greener pastures in
> the West. Some seem to be
> happily settled while others are forced to live
> there with no choice. The
> biggest problem they have to face is the cultural
> change from East to West.
> But the real benefit is good education, clean
> surroundings, quality
> control, good transportation, etc. no burden of
> aids/loans from foreign
> institutions like us and corruption free government!
