Today, I flew to Dubai, en route to my new job in Afghanistan. Both of my bags were lost, my debit card was frozen in London, the next flight was cancelled, and I can't get a hotel room. I'm in the richest city in world with no money and no room. Happy New Year. FML

Hey, in a few days you'll be in the poorest country in the world, so you'll fit right in. Consider this ordeal as training for your new post.

Well OP, if your debit card hasn't thawed since London, I'd suggest taking it outside in Dubai. Problem solved. … :D

He's just stuck on an extended stop over. It happens all the time, you just sleep in the airport n get on with your life.

Dubai is not the richest city in the world nor is afghanistan the poorest

UAE is among the richest countries in the world and Afghanistan is the poorest in the world not in Africa. For the sake of the jokes, these facts are close enough.

The UAE, at least as far as I know, is the richest Country in the world.

A phone won't do much, unless he knows somebody in Dubai.
