Think again...feelings always change, our reaction can be kept same by our strength of determination.

Re: I'm having one of those days
So can I say that you will 'feel' young when you are in your early 60s? As you said, feelings don't change, so it should happen. Do you think it is only the 'reaction' of our elders because of which they live differently than us (the so called young ones) :P

As we mature we manage our feelings/emotions better, as i said its called maturity and nothing to do with determination
This has still got nothing to do with the original question about age being a factor if you like or dislike the middle east.

Come and stay a couple of days in Abu Dhabi. After that, Dubai is heaven.

Re: I'm having one of those days
what? Do you think life ends at 60? Do you think people in their 60's don't feel young. Do most people feel any different from the age they are now, to when they were 21, i think you will find, that most people feel no different

Now I think it is a relative thing, some people feel young throughout their lives and some do not. I can't say you will feel old when you will be 60

Re: I'm having one of those days
humM, so you mean to say that we all feel the same throughout our age, it is just the 'management of our emotions' that gets changed.

Re: I'm having one of those days
I think I'd hate Dubai if I was 18, 33 (hello Kitty - my real age), 45, 60, 90 or even when I'm dead! Ok I don't hate it all the time but at the moment i hate it...
Ctfc- once my time is up here I have no intention of going anywhere else in the middle east but thanks for the recommendation!

Re: I'm having one of those days
I think it's normal to have good and bad days where ever you live, don't think it's like you never feel down 'at home' so to speak...surely there are things back home that are frustrating, they are just different from what they are here...

Re: I'm having one of those days
I occasionally get "one of those days" - Tuesday this week in fact. However, this followed a 4-day break to Wilmslow--'twas great to see full greenery again, feel cool weather and to drink in a local Boddington's pub again. But all is back to 'normal'.

One last question, since when you started to feel 'I am having one of those days'?

Re: I'm having one of those days
Shikra,
Just the last couple of days this time, but on off since I got here- the first three months were horrible. Should i lay on a couch Doctor?
