› 1 more week to go

In just over 1 weeks time I'll be heading out to Dubai to start work for Dubizzle.com and begin a new chapter in my career.

I've really enjoyed my time working at Sense Internet over the past 3 and a half years.

I'll be doing my best to keep up this blog with my findings of Dubai as well as of my job. Tho there will probably be more updates on my Twitter than on here

TTFN!

I'm now at the airport.

Flying to Dubai in an hour to start a new chapter in my career and life. It seems weird, I don't actually feel like I'm going at the moment.

I'm really looking forward to starting my new job at Dubizzle, and can't wait to start.

Time to go and board!

› Sunday: The Day of Work

It's Sunday evening, I've finished work for the day.

Im slowly starting to get used to this whole Sunday->Thursday working week. Well I'm not, on Thursday I thought it was Friday, and on Friday I thought it was Saturday, and Saturday really did feel like a Sunday, I'm sure I'll get used to it, besides, it'll take away from the whole "Monday is a bad day to spend 1/7th of your life" thing!

I really like Dubai so far. The biggest thing that I noticed was how big everything is. Compared to Leeds, UK where there was 1 (ugly) big building, everything is bigger than that, and they all got built quicker! My new apartment that I'll be moving into in about a week is opposite the Burj Dubai which is currently the tallest building in the world and it's still getting bigger! There is a massive mall here called The Mall of the Emirates but a "big" mall isn't good enough for Dubai, so they are building some more bigger ones!

There is a great community of ex-pats out here, and everyone is really welcoming and friendly. I imagine some of this is to do with not many people having family out here, and so your friends become your family. I'm really loving my job too, I'm sure I'll have plenty more to post about that in the future!

Leave me a comment, it'd be nice to hear from a few people!
