Cost of living, especially accommodation, in Abu Dhabi
Hi guys!
So everyone seems to be saying that the move to AD isn't so great because, although I've been offered a better salary than I ever thought I could get, the cost of living is considerable.
What would be the best solution on accommodation? What is the best kind of price I can get away with if I want to have my own place?
Do expats do flat sharing? Where is the best place to look for an apartment?
Could anyone give me an idea about other unexpectedly high outgoings I should look out for?
Also, does anyone know how to start a new thread without always coming to the Welcome Inn, I've been looking but I can't find any obvious buttons for "New Thread" - only in the Welcome Inn.
I want to save as much as possible, of course!
I love this forum!

Great!
On the left hand side of any page? I still can't see the button. What am I looking for New Post, or New Thread?
