If you are planning to travel to Gulf to work as a house girl, these unwritten rules will help you cope with the Arab world:
⚫ Never show an Arab your tears this is top tier…tunaendanga kulilia kwa bafu tukioga
⚫ When you get to an Arab house wewe ata kama unajua kutumia gas, washing machine, microwave and other electronic appliances usijifanye kiherehere always say “hujui kutumia” akuonyeshe it will save you from a lot.
⚫ When you land in an Arab house and find they order food wewe usijifanye charity ati unajua kupika…songa na flow na ukiulizwa kama unapikanga only respond “just Kenyan food” na hio story iishe heri uishi kukula khubus wakiondoka pika your food chap chap but neverrrr show them you know.
⚫ Speak while you are spoken to azawais huku ni pesa imekuleta pitana na watu kwa nyumba but usiongee kama hujaongeleshwa.
⚫ Never mess with baba, boys and kids of the house because baibe you go dieeeee you hear me dieeee hawana second thought uku.
⚫ If they don’t wipe their shoes darling usikuje kujifanya mama fua wacha wakae na viatu zao chafu but incase uangukie watu wanapenda usafi na uonyeshwe how to do it hapo sawa.
⚫ Don’t take anything that doesn’t belong to you…they are very careless with money and jewellery sweetheart hizo ni traps don’t ever take what’s not yours.
⚫ In an Arab house a camera can be anywhere but for as long as hufanyi kitu mbaya hizo zisikushtue kaa kimonda but hio ni with time.
⚫ Usiwai kopesha wala kuitikia mwarabu akae na pesa yako…end of the month your money at hand according to your contract.
⚫ Ukifika huku upatiwe work duties…ukiambiwa nyumba nikuosha 2 times a week and vacuuming the rest of the days usijifanye msafi uoshe kila siku …huku sio kenya wewe yaani ufwate what you are told from day one.
⚫ Kuna kitu inaitwa Clorox and flash…my darling hii huwa hatuchanganyi na any other chemical azawais utaenda sayuni crawling ukipiga nduru… use accordingly and when it’s needed sio kila siku it has effects.
⚫ Huku dawa ni panadol kwa hivo kama wewe ni mtu kushinda hosi gulf ain’t for you.
⚫ In an Arab house make sure you can eat a snack and sleep…kama wewe ni kula kula huku hutoboi
⚫ Homesick is real…hii inakuramba na inakukamatia chini vilivyo… Be ready to feel drained.
