Are people friendly in Dubai?

Hi y'all,
probably others think we are in to ourselves as well. Think we should make better efforts at creating our own fun and this is a great forum to meet friends.
BTW, i was out on the social evening (20/03/09) and had fun. Atleast i can brag of having friends resident in dubai.
Mayotom, I spend my spare time shopping, eating in every possible spot in the malls, planning a trip or the other out of town.....not anymore! now with the recession and new friends i guess we can work out some fun.
Taz, i am some doors away from you! We should hang out some time and put to rest the complains.
Have a terrific weekend, mine started on a good note i must say.

Hi Burnt Berry.., that would be out of sight!

I'm going back to Blighty at the weekend and returning after Easter. I'm seriously thinking of axing my tenure at The Greens.., whilst it's conveniently close to my office, I do find the place a bit too sedate for my liking. There seems to be no crack, no footie and completely dry!

What a shame.....
Wishing you a great Easter holiday
Keep in touch.

Live in the Greens too....for myself alone it would be ok too. However, my family enjoys it very much.....

to talk about completely dry....yep, that is unfortunately the case...however, Nelson Pub in
Hotel Media Rotana is only a 5 Dirham ride away......and nowadays are plenty of taxis to around in the Greens ....:-))

I was speaking with a few arab colleagues....and I remarked about their rather cold and unfriendly nature......they explained that as us expats come and go they do not want to invest time in building a relationship......I didnt agree and to be honest I also find the locals very arrogant.

maybe because they also dont speak english, so they might just not know what to say to us even if they wanted to be friendly, guys give them some benefit of the doubt!!..lol...

u guys are talking about Greens being dry, try some other emirates other than Dubai or AD, then you will know what dry is..have a lovely weekend!!

Any hang-outs this Easter?

[Tica girl]

I have been here for 5 months already and find difficult to meet new people... maybe my own mistake by always going out with people from the office... would also like to join the next social night out!!!
