Where are you, UAE, Saudi, Bahrain, Oman?

So where are you based? I'm in Bahrain and work in Saudi, what about the rest of you?

What's good and bad about where you live?

that's cos I haven't got any money and the child is driving me nuts, but in general I love Dubai and wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Just having a tight month financially which restricts us somewhat.

Hey,

I'm in Muscat, Oman. I love it here, apart from the weather at the moment! The locals are great here, so lovely & welcoming & friendly. The country itself is beautiful and I have a very nice apartment and friends / boyfriend.

What I don't like I guess is the driving, "wasta" and the staring sometimes gets to me a bit.

But it's great! Anyone else in Muscat?
