Thanks!
I hope to interview soon and will get a glimpse then what it is like. I have seen much of North America and lived in Europe for 12+ years but have never been to the Middle East.
The roadshow by EK presented it is very much a 'First World' country, but not a 'Western' country, if that makes sense. I do not use these labels in an offensive way, so please understand my meaning without reading anything negative into them.
It'll be interesting to check out.
