Contracting in Dubai.... would you? Should I?

[ChimpMaster]

Hello,

I've been offered a one year contract in Dubai. Never been before, but been looking to get out of london for a while. I really want a change. Admittedly, New York, Tokoyo, Amsterdam, etc, would've been higher on my list of places to live for a year.. but this is the offer I've got in front of me.

Has anyone here worked out there? any stories?

I'm 30, no family or ties, and just fancy a change and some new life experiences for a bit..

I've got friends who have moved out there from London and from Canada. I hear the same thing from all of them - that they love it out there and are not intending to come back any time soon. They've been out there longer than 5 years now.

Tax-free income, maids/servants, sunshine, beaches, no crime, a booming economy (who's been saving the western banks?).... etc.

For a professional there have to be many places better than the UK to build a good life. Step outside and take a look.
