14k Dhs for a 2yr experience (coupled with time spent in uni) is a lot any way i look at it. i say go for it man,, more than the money, the chance on work on some of the most interesting and awe-inspiring projects anywhere in the world while doing something you academically prepared for sounds reall...

And no I'm not divorced yet. trying to get a UK solicitor while living out here proved difficult. I now have one but am still going through the process of proff of identity etc. Begin divorce proceedings in Dubai and then let the courts here decide how your assets are divided. It is not as difficul...

cost of living in dubai is quite high, i am not sure the package is commensurate to that position, given though that its 'executive secretary' i would assume you will report to a really senior manager. do try and ask for at least double that. you can also try to check out the current pay rates for t...

DHL offers big boxes, if its just pictures and books and all those personal effects you might want to consider just shipping these through them.

I say avoid mutual funds. Why? It's a complicated product. The firm knows all the ins and outs and you know nothing. Easy for them to manipulate things in their favor without your having a clue. Even if you are on top of things and wish to challenge their practices, what are you going to do? Get he...

Bro, what is Bantayan island like? How would you compare it to Samal Island in Davao - Paradise Resort and Pearl Farm resorts? If you been there, that is...

Finally here, temporarily staying at the Golden Sands. pleasantly surprised with the December weather-- pretty good! Hated waiting on a cab. The first cab dropped me off 3kms from pick up because apparently his tire is getting soft-- dunno how he managed to check. Second cab driver was better, found...

those basic lonely planets books really help to understand dubai, i suggest you bring one of those, the maps are generally updated and are a godsend if you intend to drive around as soon as possible.

a wifi ready laptop should help also
