Re: I'm new to this so ....Hi!
read it back - I never said live there, I said live in Dubai and travel, I worked in Sharjah for years and enjoyed it, there was a real community spirit about the place. You dismissed it out of hand
the relevance is the lass is asking for advice and someone who still hasn't got a visa, a sofa or a full compliment of pubic hair may not be the best qualified to dispense it

Again, the relevance of anything you've said is nil.
Pubic hair comment, really? You've got to be twice my age.
I suggest end of debate, because neither of us are helping going back and forth.

Re: I'm new to this so ....Hi!
Thanks for the advice , I'm starting to paint a picture. it is a lot less than obviously at home and i've just been reading about the tax rules so that is not so good either. Although acommodattion is free , it might be a tiny horrible flat and also standard of living is higher than what I am used to. Might try and hold off for a bit. Many Thanks for all your comments , enjoy life.
In short, if you move to the UAE now, for just one school year, all of your earning will be liable for UK Income Tax. Just because it is paid tax-free, doesn't mean you don't have a personal liability.

Again, I said I'd be looking at Abu Dhabi / Dubai first. That is not dismissing it out of hand.

Bingo approach the GEMS group, they look after their teachers reasonably well and pay them a decent enough salary.

Re: I'm new to this so ....Hi!
I got a 7 foot high bookcase, tall boy, wardrobe, desk, chair (more like a throne), breakfast bar and two chairs for AED 12k. This was 3 years back mind.
But it's all still there, in great condition and when we leave we'll take it with us, it's quality stuff.
We bought a pricey distressed leather sofa too which is gorgeous, we had an IKEA one and 6 months on it was falling to bits so me and a mate chucked it out and some little lads had taken it within an hour.
You'd be better long term buying nice gear.
Also my rent has dropped like a stone so reckon I'm going to treat myself to a nice big lovely LG tv to celebrate.
