hi all,
as I mentioned before, my daughter has been in Dubai since Sep 8th. She was there all through ramadan, in fact it took up most of her training. They never stopped her eating during the day, but asked them not to eat in front of the people who were fasting, which to me is quite acceptable! She didn't mind the heat, being from england, she was quite happy to get in the heat! I have spoke to her alot, and know it's took a while for her to settle in, but I know she is a lot happier now she has moved into her permanant accomodation, with a lovely girl who she shares with. Also alot of the friends she made during training have also moved in, so that helps. She wasn't sure about Dubai when she first landed, and even now it still gets her down now and then( attitude of some of the men) but she is the sort of girl who can handle it! I don't think she would have missed this experience for anybody, and was sort of prepared for the differences between england and dubai(although you can never be 100% prepared), before she left.
Obviously, as I said before, it isn't for everyone, and if you are truely unhappy then it's best to cut your losses and go home.
What ever anyone chooses to do, I wish you all the best of luck, whether in Dubai, or at home!
Mother hen.
