Hi BC, am good, working hard, no time for play these days, in fact I think it has been about 6 months since I came on to say hello! Was out in Dubai actually in April for a quick family visit. Am hoping to come out in November again but we will see. OH off to Oman in the next few weeks - so while there he is going to check the place out - so we might end up there. We will see.

How are you? The kitten? All good I hope x

OMR 12600 is just under $33K US. If you're making just a tad over OMR 1000 per month you should rethink this job. Schooling is expensive - on your salary you would definitely need full schooling costs paid for you.

Then there's housing. It's not very much and won't get you anything particularly nice. Having said that, I know many people who get around what you've been offered for housing and they're still in Muscat.

If you were being paid $9K/month in the US I'd probably stay there if I were you.

HTH.

I think 30% are the taxes in US so OMR12600 is not $33K US.
