Hi,
It is very convientent to many things in either diamond 5 or 6. It has easy access to the road coming into dubai. Seems to be a very good building. The only things negiative is if you are on the balcony, the road noise is alittle much and try to get a apartment about the fifth floor if facing the major highway. There is an Indian restaurant on the ground floor and the smells could be too much if out on the balcony. Great location, like I said though! Plus the metro is right there too.

Hi! No, I have not seen any like that but have not looked for one here! An authentic korean restaurant will be too spicy for me! ha ha Have to admit that I do like bul goki though. They use some very hot spices on most food. Was stationed at Tague and only ate two times the whole year and that was because I was invited to two Korean weddings! How you doing? Spent the day in Dubai again yesterday! Very nice there but crowded! Will have to see where I end up! Take care!
Steve

Hi guys.

Really glad to have found this forum, and the posts (particularly fuelman407) have been SOOOOOOOO helpful!

Having a telephone interview this week, and if all goes well, I'm hoping to be out there by the end of the year or early in January.

Regards,
Del

Do many people ride motorbikes out there, or is that a bit suicidal...?

There are bikes here, if you have a bike that overheats easily, you probably will not want to ride during the summer. I have friends that have been in Sharjah for a few years and they ride from about Oct-May.

I've currently got a Suzuki Bandit 1250, but would probably trade it in for a BMW R1200 GT before coming out there... :-)
