Actually AnA, just noticed your date of joining was 13th Oct (last month!). Personally I dont believe that under 1 month is even close to enough time to give EK and Dubai a fair chance to show you its better aspects, especially since you arrived during ramadan! (would have made your arrival that much more stressful) Like I had posted before, these things truely take time. Its a shame because you seemed so excited/positive towards your new adventure and had gone to alot of effort to secure the job (incld. medicals & costs etc) also not to forget the effort to move as well. Guess we all make big decisions at different paces. Good knowing that you are happy now though.
Letsfly, thanks for your post, its good to hear another side of the coin
