har's,
Thanks for the PM.
Answers to your questions are as follows.
Baggage allowance: genaraly 50 KG' when joining as crew.however I suggest you check with GF to avoid excess weight.
Laptop: not a problem at all! plus there wont be any taxes imposed on it as mideastern law is relaxed on those issues.
AUH Life style: great.I have always enjoyed being in AUH.good night life,restaurants,shopping and a clean city.GF should be providing you with accomodation.what I have heard from friends in bahrain is they do not provide all the facilities need in an apartment like Qatar airways and Emirates do,such as tv,fridge etc.but whats suplied would be more then enouh to start off with.
Then again your base being AUH,things could be different,lets hope for the best.
Good Luck!
Hong Kong Layover.
