Hi,

I've been reading with interest your chats for a couple of months now and I have to say this place is deffo one of the more informative, comical and blunt sites on the net in relation to everything connected to the UAE, I think some of it is hilarious!

Me personally? I've been here 2 years, got a great set of work mates and a great set of (non-work) mates but always looking to meet more people from other areas.

Having taken the plunge and joined, please welcome me and I will endeavour to join in the threads with information I know i can back up in order to help others!

Here's to a (hopefully) welcome introduction from the bored!!!

So where are you from?
Got any kids?
Hobbies?
Whatever else

Oh and don't forget, different time zones and the weekend isn't Sat/Sun, so don't get shirty if you don't get a reply straight away
Hi My name is Rob and I'm from a great Peninsula next to Liverpool called the Wirral. I moved to Dubai August 2010 and so far so good.
I work as a chef and I'm finding Dubai kitchens a lot different to those back home but I'm really enjoying the change nonetheless.

I have 3 kids in England, Sophie, Emily and Angus.

My hobbies are playing the guitar and the piano. When I was in the UK I used to love to dabble with mechanics but I doubt I'll be doing much of that here. I have a small collection of scrap antiquated BMW's gathering dust in the UK. lol

No idea how long I plan to stay here for but I'm sure it will be quite a while as the job market seems a lot more bouyant than back home in the UK right now.

Introduction? Done.

I'm in Galeries Lafayette in the Dubai mall. Sadly no discounts but it does seem popular with the expat community.

really...? i wasn't, it's very much style over substance...i had great hopes for the cheese section, for example, but it pretty much only had what you can get elsewhere (ie not much) and worse still, when i asked whether they had pont l'eveque or epoisses, the "cheese specialist" said no but they did have brie...i'm like, err but that's nothing like those cheeses, i'll leave it thanks...

MM, xx
