Just got back after the interview process. I am also a single guy with no kids hoping to get into the emirates family.
For the guys out there wondering/worrying about stuff to do in dubai: from what i saw, trust me, this should be the least of your worries.. any semi outdoor/active person COULD have a blast. You also dont have to worry about living in the centre of town. Its easy enough to get around, even without a car. Lots and lots of taxi's around. (and they are not expensive)
The list of things to do is endless. Basicly if you can think of it, you can do it.. They have very informative magazines lying around all over the place with lots of info on all the activities for the week/month. From what i saw there is even an archery club if that tickles your fancy.. and if its not there, you start one?!
It all depends on your attitude... Is you glass half empty or is it half full? Go there and go check it out.. Everybody is friendly and will do their best to give you accurate information. Just remember that all the people there are 'in the same boat' as what you would/could be in..
Hoping to see some of you there for a cold beer and maybe even a BBQ on one of those 'open' balconies... (oh yes... and it is true.. plenty of girls around
)
