Default Soon to be UAE

Howdy folks,

Looks like I'll be moving to the UAE sometime in the next two months or so. I'm a nuclear engineer from USA on my way out there to help the regulator authority build some great new nuclear reactors!

I'm your traditional geek from TV (thing Leonard, not Sheldon), but unlike many of my colleagues I have a thirst for adventure!

Hope to meet some of you soon!

Dr. Evok

I'm from Rochdale mate. Came to Dubai due to a job opportunity but also for a better standard of living. While in Dubai though, I want to make the most of it.

Sounds like you're in a similar situation to myself, we should meet up for a few beers?
Katie you would be more than welcome too? ...
