Who are the Brits on the board?

[Spellbound]

Thought this may be helpful to any new Brits to the board, to help them to get to know people.

When did you move to Dubai?
Where are you from in the UK?
How old are you?
Are you male or female?
Did you move alone?

I'm moving in October. I am from Cheshire, in the UK. I am a 26 yr old female. I am moving alone.

Female, age not admitted, lived in SW London before moving to Dubai a few years ago.

I lived in Dubai for 6 months this year, considering job offers in Iraq and Afghanistan but currently sat in gloomy Wiltshire!

I'm originally from Bedfordshire but lived all over East Anglia, Home Counties and West Country due to my husbands Army career.

I'm 37 years old (thats 37, NOT dead! LOL)

I'm female.....when I last checked!!!

I lived alone in Dubai, didn't find it a challenge as I'd previously lived alone in Spain for 5 years, at least in Dubai, everything is in English as well as the national language of Arabic, so no need to learn a new language as I previously did in Spain.

Hope you enjoy Dubai, good luck and keep posting!

Kabul, Baghdad or Cricklade...

...I think out of those three Kabul was the best. Although I feel like Salisbury Plain is like a second home.

Though at least they're getting rid of the speed cameras.

Well, I'm told by friends in Iraq that now is a safer time than ever.....my initial Afghan trip was postponed earlier this year as the Taliban were kidnapping alot of foreigners and as for Salisbury Plain, just stick to the roads...........LMAO!

I'm presuming you're ex military, Mazy?

Hi everybody!!! My name is Janayna Velozo, called "meninaJANA" (Jana girl) here in Brazil where I live. I'm moving to Dubai in december this year, to work as a graphic designer. The company is located in Deira, so it would be very nice to find a place to live (or share) near it. I have something about 4,000dhs/month to spend with rent and I will love to share with people of other nationalities!

jana.

Iraq does seems to be quietening down, Kabul is still quite dangerous, lots of crime, foreigners being robbed, kidnapped and killed.

...I may have been seen once or twice in a fetching shade of desert DPM

Lol you know, my girlfriends think I have the perfect lifestyle and jobs, working with all those men in dashing DPM (not sure about the Cam though!!) but after 12 years of being around the boys, I don't get terrible excited anymore and actually see people rather than sex gods in uniform! LOL

Menina, welcome to the Forum, good luck with your move and hope you enjoy Diera! I can thoroughly recommend a good shisha bar there if you're interested!

Thanks Pasanada!! I will love to!
