I hope the next place will be a better place

Okay it's been a week now and still no news from my hubby's company when they going to move us next.

They told us this news 2 months ago and asked us to expect transfer by the latest end of August. And suppose to be last week after we come back from holiday we will hear the news but nothing so far.

All they saying was "another middle east country" Middle East is huge right and can be Saudi for worst scenario which I totally strongly disapproved, or the bright side can be Dubai or Abu Dhabi. Oh god, I hope is UAE.

So in these 10 days I've been anxious, stress, worried, and total sadness knowing I will be leaving Qatar for good. That's mean I will not see my lovely friends here in Qatar and mostly from QL. I am sad guys... really sad. This is a story of Expat wife dilemma.

I write this just to ask your prayer that they will not put us in country like Saudi/Yemen/Sudan/Kuwait. As much as am ready to take challenge and want to know the world those places are far from my imagination to live and be happy with.

I also write this, just to inform you to all my friends here in QL, that the day is coming soon when I no longer see your face and be among the groups in all QL's event. I want to say thanks to all who been so nice to me and considered me as their friend. I might not here in Qatar anymore but my heart and thought always goes to you. You guys (Qatarliving) are the best ever happened to me in Qatar. I guess when I know my departure date I will make another thread to say goodbye..

I didnt get to know you unfortunately for me but I cant put my two piece in if you dont mind:

Kuwait - Not bad at all, life style is pretty normal with except to no pubs and clubs and so on.

Bahrain is good so no worries and only a jump away from qatar.

Saudi is ok ONLY if you are living in an american compound or something like that where you really dont need to go out bcz u got everything in and its a totally normal life.

and hey.. is lebanon on the list? if yeah.. ur so damn lucky take me with you.. :P:P

wish you all the best
