You know my husband's company flew us last month to Dubai to check it out and I would say I didnt like it at first but once we came back to the US I started comparing and Dubai has quite few stuff that is comon in the US as well, so you would hardly feel the difference I believe once you are in there malls? Except for customer service ofcourse 
Ok hope talking to you again.... |
My wife and I are from Orange County and moved here 2.5 mos ago. We don't have kids but I'd say it took me about ten days to get used to life here. the only frustrating thing was getting used to the slip roads and the traffic signs. If you don't know where things are, the traffic signs don't help you. If you take a wrong turn, it'll be a 15-30 minute detour. Of course, if you have navigation in the car or a garmin, then that won't be so much of an issue but we drove a rental for the first month.
overall, life here will feel a lot like living in LA, or more like NY, I'd say. So if you've spent a lot of time in the city part of LA, then you'll definitely be fine. And if you live out away from the skyscrapers and the Old Dubai, it feels like the suburbs in the US.
