Back in the Middle East!!!

I decided to go back and tour in the middle east since I did very well the last time I went.  The weather is much better this time of year but it seems different.  DEAD!
I went out with a girlfriend that lives here to pick up at the Ritz Carlton.  We immediately got sent champagne by these two gentlemen a few minutes after we sat down.  We started chatting with them and it was quite nice.  They even picked up our existing tab (we had ordered a bottle of wine).  But alas, when we went upstairs, things went downhill from there.  They couldn't even afford to pay us, claiming they didn't have any cash on them and would wire us the money the next day.  I guess they thought we were rookies, lol.  They ended up giving us cash for our wasted time and we left.
I'm here for a month so I'm going to stay positive and hope things pick up.  Maybe I should have gone to switzerland instead.  This is all a learning curve for me, but I will soon figure out all the hot spots to go and the best time of year to do so.
