UK, Australia, Abu Dhabi. Will stick around here for another 2-4 years, then fancy KL or Laem Chabang, followed by Houston and then down to Brazil for what's left.

I have no intentions of returning to the UK, however as someone said before a lot of people start the expat thing with the same opinion and end back home. Time will tell I guess.

You clearly don't use British Expats Forum very often. Probably explains why you still enjoy life in Dubai so much.

Not a bad place for British expats, quite a few there but after Dubai do you really fancy a move to a place where English isn't the first language.

What about Scotia! my dear, my native soil, safe haven for English expats however language may still be an issue.

Must admit I prefer Dubai as it was about 20 years ago!!

Planned to leave in 1998 but family bereavement changed that!

Exactly. Everyone says Dubai is a soft expat posting so I thought I'd go for somewhere tough next time: All that rain and whining.

I suspect my next move will be within the GCC - either back to Abu Dhabi or to Bahrain.
