GO HUG A TREE, HIPPIE!!!1


All I know of Dubai is that it's super rich, super nice, and super expensive. Oh, and that they pay Tiger Woods ****tons of cash to come play in their tournament. I assume this position you're offered will pay YOU ****tons of cash?

LMAO

Sorry dude. I took my asshole pills today...

do ya like female camels ....

Read your contract carefully.

Thanks for the info. I will read the contract carefully (and have it reviewed before signing - have a couple attorneys in the family). I have been researching and know it has a high cost of living, but hope to have that mitigated some with the employment contract. Leaving my family would be the toughest part, but would make sure that travel is part of the deal - either me coming home or them visiting. My wife does payroll for US expats (for a US company) and says 10 weeks on 2 weeks off is pretty standard.

Love how if you further your career by doing something ballsy like this you are looked at as why on earth are you leaving your family, but if you are in the military it's all fine and gravy. OP may very well be in the military, but a strong family and video chat should help you get through

I had this same discussion with one of my daughters tonight. Kind of sweet that at 14 and freshman in HS that she is still upset that I may not be here to hug all the time (her concern).

Guess I am doing something right.

Looks like a cool place to climb a tall building. /EthanHunt

Oh man. You have a 14 year old daughter and you are thinking of leaving for 2-3 years? If you do that you'll miss some incredible time that you just can't get back.

You might find some info/pics here.

I just went out and checked the mailbox. I do not live in Dubai.

Never lived there but visited quite a few times when I was in the military. It's very nice. You can go skiing in the mall. Not sure about living expenses, but food and souvenir items were reasonable compared to other middle east countries I visited. I enjoyed visiting but not sure if I would want to live there. It has the typical foot and cheetoh smell of most of the middle east I visited. Cats are everywhere.

My ex used to go there with her family every so often. I hear its ballin.

Besides, if you dont take the chance to do it, wtf are you living for?

I watched a show on Discover last night, that said that Dubai is the least green city in the whole world... everything is built around driving cars as much as possible, as they want people to buy a lot of gas. lol.

It looked like a shitty place to live, IMO.
