Hello and welcome to my blog.
I have created this blog in order to share my "living-in-dubai" experience with people who are interested in moving to Dubai, also for some friends who want to know how this whole new experience is working out for me. I will try to update this blog as much as I can.
In advance I would like to apologize for all the miss-spelling you will see in this blog. I'm sure many of the posts will be written on-the-go and hopefully you'll understand how stressful it sometimes can be to turn on the laptop and start typing when you're outside.
Anyway, this is how everything started. A few weeks ago I received a job offer from a telecommunication company in dubai and almost without hesitation I accepted the offer. Just for the record, I have never been in dubai, not even accidently, not even landed on its airport for a stop change. So, am I nervous?, you bet! Having this said, I have heard a lot about the city, seen a couple of construction-movies and documentaries about living and working in Dubai. But what really caught my attention was the experiences and stories that my friends shared with me. So, in comparison to the quietness and cold weather of Sweden, Dubai's multinational culture and life-style and its fast growing atmosphere has been the main reason for my huge interest for the city. I have prepared a list of everything that needs to be taken care of before moving, such as selling my car, renting the apartment, taking care of the loans, closing some of the bank accounts and finally cutting up and throwing away the credit cards. I'll let you know more on how things have been going in the near future.
