Working here for a few weeks, need someone to take me out and show me around

[andy_mc]

Hi everyone,

I've been out here just over two weeks now, I'm on a porject that'll last till the middle of February and will be out here for most of that time.

Anyone fancy going out for some drinks or a meal somewhere. I kind of getting bored of the routine of finishing work, going to the gym, eating at wagamamas alone then sitting on the net for the rest of the night.

I'm staying at the Four points on Sheikh Zayed road to give you an idea of where about I am.

I'm working western hours, so I can't do the beach on Friday's, sorry! Although saturday would be good and I've not been there yet.

Ladies or Gentlemen, eithers great if you feel like making someone feel a little less down in the dumps and bored on his evenings in.

Oh, I'm english and in my late 20's by the way, just incase that mattered to anyone.

Crazymazy organises nights out every weekend. There is a thread for this weekend, so that might be a good starting point! Not sure about Saturday - think most of us stay in bed all day and try to recover!

We're usually out till pretty late (2-3am) on fridays, so as long as you're not too tired from work, feel free to join us anyway.

[hi there, only just joined this forum thing still not really sure how to do all this but i just read your post and was nice to see that there are some english people over there who i can chat with.im 18 from liverpool uk, how about yourself? i am looking to come over to dubai next year but think its wise to make friends first ha x

Hi carly. This looks like a good forum for you to meet people. I didn't end up going out in the end, I was out with workmates instead, and have been too busy since then with other stuff to get out much.

It's a good city to go out though once you find your way around (and pick the right taxi driver). I've only got this week, then one week in january left till I go home. Still, I'll be down the irish village this friday night for some christmas drinks with my work lot, been there once before, it's really nice, and makes me a bit home sick.

Hi Andy. I've been here now for a month too, i live in the old town, moved here with my boyfriend, we paid a years rent for the little one bedroom apartment and now he's gone and left me to mave back to the UK with his ex. So i've been holed up in my apartment doing nothing but eating chocolate for the last week and feeling sorry for myself. I've paid for the apartment so I might as well stay here and try to get a job. It's my birthday too on boxing day so i really need to find some new friends. Is there a party happening soon that i can gatecrash? thanks, Lucy.

Nightmare!!

You need to post a couple more posts to get your number above 5 and then PM Caldwema/dizzyizzy/Maz25/Shingle Peak as they are all girls and one should give you some info on getting out and about.

I'll be organising the final 2008 nights out on Thurs and/or Fri for all the Dubai orphans who will still be here just before most go back home for crimbo.

There will also be people out tonight so if you're serious about getting out and making some friends get posting this afternoon and we'll get the details to you.
