MY LITTLE ACCIDENT

Everyone is OK! Had a small car accident couple of days ago. I was taking a right out of our compound when a land cruiser suddenly decided to move into my lane. Our front bumpers barely kissed. The land cruiser stopped and so did I thinking, "Oh no, this will be an obnoxious Qatari male and this whole thing will be my fault." To my surprise a woman in a black abaya gets out. I get out - we walk towards each other at the side of the road - she grabs my hands and says, "I am so sorry - are you OK." I said Yes are you OK? She said yes but that she was shaking. (Don't know where this woman was from. She spoke English with a British accent. Could be India, or Indonesia - doubt it was Qatar. They generally don't allow their women to study abroad.) She looked at my car and told me there was a scratch. I looked - could barely see it. We looked at her car (which was not brand new - it looked like it had seen a few years - a few scratches and dings - again evidence this was not a Qatari) and, again, could barely make out a small scratch. We talked and agreed: this was an accident, important thing is no one was hurt, neither one of us wanted to call the police, we would go on with our lives - which we did.
A positive experience!
