Default Introductions thread - New to Dubai/New to the forum/Looking for friends? :)

Time for a new thread.

This is the 'official' thread for new expat introductions and making friends.

Post here if you are new to Dubai (or to Expatforum.com) and tell us a little bit about yourself! Where do you come from? How long you've been in Dubai for? Did you move here on your own or with your partner/family? How are you finding it?

Also keep an eye on the forum as expat get togethers are being organised very often, and that is a great way to meet new people and make friends.

Thread rules:

1. Keep in mind that the main purpose of this forum is to exchange information about moving to Dubai. Making new friends is a recurrent topic, hence this thread. However this is not a dating forum and posts of such nature, or that look like 'dating profiles' are often reported by forum users and deleted immediately (this applies to all the forum sections and countries).

2. Do not use this thread for general chit chat.

3. DO NOT POST YOUR CONTACT DETAILS ANYWHERE IN THE FORUM. This includes name, phone, email or link to FB profile. Your details will get deleted and you will get an infraction too. This is for your own safety. Use the private message facility instead.

4. The private message facility will be activated automatically after 5 valid posts. Do not post rubbish to increase your post count to get the PM facility activated, you will get an infraction instead.

Welcome, enjoy Dubai, and enjoy the forum!!

Welp, I already posted before introducing myself... oh well.

*ahem* Hello. Long time lurker, first (sorta) time poster.

As per flags here above, I'm Italian, starting the UAE branch of the IT consultancy company I work for, and moved recently to Dubai after 7 months of Abu Dhabi.

I'm still trying to learn the ropes of this crazy place, but hope to be able to provide some good contribution to the forum soon.

In the meantime, I'll keep reading your fine posts and learn more about Dubai and surroundings.

Oh, btw - I'll be at the Habtoor tonight to watch the footie (Spain vs. Italy). May the best diver win!
