I've decided that I will only come back there if I get everything paid for (accom and car, etc) and I don't have to use any UAE banks!

He finally showed his true colors - umh, rather stupidity!!!

I guess I don't understand his continuous rant of something that happened months ago? Honestly, if I was his prospective employer and if the "attitude" he projects here came across during the "look-see" trip to UAE....... heck, I would have only offered him an acre of sand to make SURE he wouldn't take it!!

Wondering........????
