Passports

Just occurred to me that I should mention this here:

In an average country, one is expected to be the nationality of whatever country he/she was born, and is most likely to be the passport holder of that given country.

In Dubai, it is three separate questions.
- Where are you from originally?
- What nationality are you?
- What passport do you hold?

Given the large number of Lebanese with Canadian passport grew up in the USA, Indians with British passport grew up in the UAE, Iranians with Australian passport grew up in wherever, some are actually surprized that my nationality and passport are matching....

I always thought having two passports and dual citizenship would be nice.

It is nice. But it is strange if almost everyone in the country has different citizenships than origins or upbringings, isn't it?
