Question Need Help!

Hi there!

I was wondering if somebody could help me... I have the opportunity to work in Dubai for Standard Chartered Bank...
Could anyone give me some hints about the cost of living in Dubai (accommodation, groceries, transportation, etc...)? I have to give them an answer and I don't know what to do...As far as I herd, they are really serious...and it might be a great opportunity! And what I heard about Dubai is great...So...

Thank you all!

Thank you! It's very hard to leave everything and go to live by yourself at thousands of miles away for home...You need some "pushing"
But this might be a one time opportunity for me...and as far as I know, people are really nice there...So, hopefully, next fall I'll be in Dubai...Thanks again!

Hi Khryne
Hi i am 31 yrs old guy ! I have been here ( Dubai) for almost 7 months now and yet to make friends ... whom i can hang out with . The few i do are the folks who work with me . It's time i have friends outside the media zone. Anyone with a cool head, and an aptitude for wit is welcome !!
If u have a good job in SCB then dont worry u can meet all expences like accomodation, food and grocery,,, if u need any type of help then dont hesitate to ask me.... hope for the best of us.... take care
