Hey
Just some advice would be great...
I need a massive change and have been applying for jobs on the TES in the middle east, but i'm not sure that being a single female would be that easy in most of the areas.
What is compound life like for singletons? is it all happy families?
How do people date? if at all?
Can you drive in Abu Dhabi and Dubai?
Is there anything to do in the evening other than watch dvds?
Where would i be best suited?
Its been great trawling through all your posts.
Cheers Jx

Hi there, Ive got a teaching job in Al Khor International School in Qatar and I have all the same fears!! I'll be coming over on my own too and worry about having to lead a completely fun free life!! From what I have been hearing i think as long as you aren't too blatent about it you can pretty much do anything within reason, if you couldn't i really wouldn't go!! The package I am on is apartment provided bills apid flights home and also its in a compound that looks great. It's close to Doha which is the capital and where the fun is, loads of british expats, and they are all really happy to help and advise!! Good luck, let me know if you find anything!!
