dunno...but I don't think I'd fancy trying my luck if I wanted to stay here

Not trying to give you a hard time LJ, in fact, I like you. You are also the only person who has given me any karma (I finally figured out how that works, still not sure what the little stars are under the nickname but I have developed two). But you are right, the more I see here, the more skeptical I'm getting about the facade. But I can be happy anywhere, we have lived in Hanoi, Shanghai, and were okay there. Interviews are starting to roll in, so I am going to have to ask for lot of dinero to be okay here.

The stars relate to the number of posts you've made. The sadder you are, the more you have.

I like you too. And U2. You seem okay - for a septic.

LJ, I can feel the love! Still optimistic, but will have to carefully consider a move here.

Does it look like you may find something there? Talking about drinking, I asked my brother in law's driver where I could buy something to drink - he matter of factly told me to give him a list and he would bring it to me

We'll see, I still have to test him, I'm going to have him bring me some vodka tomorrow. If he delivers, I will have to make a serious attempt to hire him away from my brother in law (assuming we move here!).

Try not to get too sceptical, you will find some people love Dubai, some hate it.

I take the view that if you hate the place, leave. But certainly give it a try, otherwise you'll never know!

I did ask him and he not only had it in "stock", but he had my favorite brand. I better hurry and get my liquor license so that I can drink it
