I have done plenty of business with Lebo's in the past and made sure I checked my watch was still on my wrist after shaking hands :p

You've not met any Lebanese? Do you live and work in a locked box?

I'd be looking for a 2-bedroom place (three would be ideal - we have two kids - but that's not looking very doable, is it?). Where is BD, by the way?

Any idea on (realistic) current costs in Garhoud and Mirdiff for a 2-bedroom place? Living here would save on the commute.

thanks!

You'll be saying you quite like us next and by then it will be too late!

now you are leaving us to guess which category we fit into to! I'm guessing that the latter is the larger of the 2.

You also have to remember all the 'fees' which will crop up all of the time. And Dh1,125 a month won't stretch very far.

I'd say unless you can share then it won't be much fun. You'll be broke the whole time. The people who all live on less than Dh10,000 all share - whole families in one room.

and yes, I am guessing the same thing...but every once in a while someone manages to escape from that horrid place into the warm folds of my lap...but that's not happened for a long time now...
