Hi all,

First time poster, Long time reader.

I am moving out to Dubai on the 1st Jan, and will be working as a cost consultant specialising in dispute resolution. I am 24yrs old and single with no real commitments back home.

I have a few questions that I would be grateful if any of you could help me with!

1) What should I be expecting to pay out per month on groceries?

2) The important one - average cost of a night out?

3) I am probably going to flat share, however being that I will be working on the other side of the creek in Deira, what kind of commuting time should I expect if I decide to live in JBR or the Marina, or should I look at living in Deira? are the apartments of a similar standard, i.e Gym, pool etc

Thats all for now, although I am sure I will think of some other things to add to the list!!

I look forward to catchin up with all of you out there - and having a few good nights out!

Thanks

Chris
