jet22,

Dubai inflation is at about 25% they say!

Do yourself a favor, read the headlines www.gulfnews.com everyday when you wake up

Ive applied to the Etihad cadet program and im just making sure im doing the right thing if i do get accepted.

Your're life is going to be in the hands of these people, so its good to research and research and research whats going on.

No matter what people tell you, Dubai and the UAE in general is no Europe, and i just dont know how to furthur explain this point. Youre going into a muslim arab country. Im am middle eastern myself and somtimes i feel awkward being in abu dhabi/dubai where many are very closed-minded. I lived in this part of the world for many years and now im In Canada...

And also, dont be fooled by all the promo videos you see on youtube about all the nice buildings and lifestyle. You gotta visit the place to get a feel of "can I really live here one day?" cuz its different!

Anyways thats just my $.02 and good luck
