FWIW, most Kiwis in the Middle East have a reputation for being first rate @r$ehole$. Most of those that I met did very little to disprove that.
All expats in the Middle East to some extent, myself included, exhibit that quality, but the Kiwis go out of their way to show it. Must be an antipodean thing, as a lot of Aussies are not far behind.
Nothing personal, just a long time observation I have made.
I guess my inner @r$ehole is comming out
