Neal and I are now pretty certain we are among the oldest people here. Say you lived and worked in Dubai for many years and had children and grandchildren here. Guess what happens when you retire? They make you leave! If you don't have a work visa and you aren't an Emirati, you can't stay. It's nuts but may explain why we don't see any old expatriates like ourselves.
The real estate market here is not to be believed. We are moving anyday now to our new apartment. I hear horror stories about getting internet and cable and what they call snagging issues (stuff that doesn't work when you first move in) so I am bracing myself for the fight. Driving is like that too. Redtape and incompetence abounds.
Miss our Pittsburgh friends and American football. The selection of TV channels is not good. We are 8 hours ahead so I woke up yesterday to follow the end of the Steeler game on the internet, no video or audio, just play by play feed. Neal tells his buddies back home that the Arabs are woosies, and their kids are very soft and lazy. They don't even pump their own gas here!
