thanks, i made that mistake on coming to Dubai from home (England) as I didn't research fully the cost of living compared to allowance,,,,,, I stupidly thought that my new employer may be tell me the truth. Not the case. I've not going to made the same mistake again, and have researched the costs.

It's been a pleasant relief to hear some nice positive things, I am more confident my family and i will enjoy life there.

At the moment, we're not enjoying Dubai to much. We're more interested in our family life than spending time walking around mile upon mile of Mall filled with simialr if not the same shops, or going out clubbing. those days are left behind some time back.

The job i'm taking seems really interesting and with great future prospects. And I can't wait to Arrive..... positive until proven otherwise.
