Re: Dubai vs Abu Dhabi vs Qatar

Re: Family Visa requirements - Abu Dhabi

My husband's company has told us the same thing. Not really a big deal in the grand scheme of things. Many of us friends there are finding places and getting tenancies so they can sponsor their...

Re: Abu Dhabi offer... thoughts?

Based on the research that we've done, that's a decent salary when everything else is included. The big thing is if you have kids, make sure you get an education allowance.

Re: Best places to live in Brisbane

Re: Best places to live in Brisbane

Re: Best places to live in Brisbane

We lived in Toowong for 18 months and then moved a bit further out as Toowong was a bit too busy and houses too close together for us. We moved further west to Pullenvale and love it out here but...
