Emanuele

Hello everyone its nice to meet you all, I am Emanuele. I hope that we can all get along, well anyway allow me to properly introduce myself. I was born in Manchester (UK) but spent a few years moving from the UAE and other countries. I am of Italian and Arabic ancestry, I currently hold an MEng in Chemical Engineering and Management from Manchester University.

I will soon be returning to the Middle East I will probably pull a stint in Dubai working in the Chemical Plant. Also I enjoy fine cuisine, partying, socializing, sports (footie!!) participating in triathlons, painting, fencing and travelling. Plus I'm fluent in Arabic, Italian, Japanese, English, Spanish and can speak moderate levels of Chinese and French.

Sorry if I sound like a show off, I just want to do a proper introduction. Hope we can all get along, plus have a decent hearty laugh on the side.

Well anyway cheerio....

Ello, ello, ello Emanuele...welcome to BE.

I'm almost fluent in English and American.

I think you will really enjoy being part of our virtual community. We have a lively bunch of people who post in our Middle East Forums...many of them live in Dubai. The main forum is for topics relating to the Middle East...the Sand Pit is for general chit chat.

There is also an Introduction thread in the Sand Pit...why don't you pop over there and introduce yourself?

If you find yourself a little lost navigating the many BE forums...we have a team of concierges who will direct you around the website. The concierge for the Middle East forums is Blue Cat...please contact her if you need any help.

If you have any problems or concerns please contact a moderator. The mods for the ME forums are Bob, NorthernLad and rowell.

Ciao e benvenuto.

We have a general chit chat "Happy Hour" thread in the Italian part of the forum if you ever feel like dropping in and having a chat with the expats living in Italy.
