Dubai

Has anybody ever been to Dubai? I might have an opportunity to go work over there and I am seriously considering it. It looks amazing.

Anyways, give me your thoughts.

And here's some pics if you've never heard of it.

You should definitely GO...I have family there and they just love it. Plus there is no income tax, modern infrastructure, 80km/h speed limit in the city, and no speed limit outside of the city, the latest electronics (items that don't even reach the shores of North America), and just basically a really beautiful wealthy city. One thing to note is that they are very strict about outsiders especially on traffic violations. Other than that, great place to be, especially if you enjoy the sun.

do it!

my old buddy from highschool is from there, and he's back there now for university. That country is just pure money. You'll see cars you've never even thought of before. 700hp range rovers, etc.

I work for a construction company and Dubai is building some very crazy stuff. There's an Island / Peninsula that they are building (yes, building land) extending 14km out into the Gulf and will be homw to 500,000 people. The company I work for is setting up an office over there and will most likely have their fair share of projects. It's basically Construciton Management.

I have NOT been offered a job, I have not even pursued one...There has just been a lot of buzz around the company about Dubai and last week an e-mail was sent out telling about how amazing life is over there (basically advertisements to pursue people to come).

Money wise, I have no clue how or what I would be paid. I think that at this exact moment I am not ready for this, but within the next year (let's say after next christmas when we start to freeze) I may find myself down there.

My buddy works there he lives like a king, hes making an insane amount of money tax free. The company pays for house, he has a driver. The only he complains about that booze is expensive, and thats why I could never work there. I need my scotch.

lived there for a little over a year when I was younger and I still remember how nice it was there. I myself am planning on moving there after I finish up with school.
