Where in Abu Dhabi?

ESL

Because I don't know that Abu Dhabi Emerite very well, I don't know anything it is close to. A school which seems to be be quite central. The two branches are based quite close to the coast. It looks like the central city of Abu Dhabi.

busybee2

ESL

The school is called Adveti

Unfortunately, you have entered the dismal world of Busybody, who is thick as a brick and as helpful as constipation. Ignore her unhelpful advice and try a google search instead. I know google is useless most of the time, but Busybody is worse.

He hasn't moved there yet, as his posts and this thread clearly show. Using a local term like that is pointless to say the least.

busybee2

yeh i get that... but he may know the term... its not hidden... even so i do object to people thinking its their right to be rude..... you may not understand what information is given but there is absolutely no need to be downright rude even if you say its pointless remarks.... shows no manners on his part!

Meow

And how on earth is posting "btb?" rude?

ADVETI is an umbrella organisation, with a number of entities - not a school in itself. Just knowing you'll be working for ADVETI does not help with identifying to where you'll be turning up for work. You need to get the name of the entity.
