The Sweetmans

  • Hi there, Im an Aussie mum of 3 (10,9,1) and this is the 2nd time we have lived here. Think of any move as a positive one. Dubai is a very "western" place...a little too much for our liking. My husband is also in the construction industry. It is what you make it over here. We earnt more money back in Aus, but this is a great experience for the kids. We have been able to take them to England, Scotland, and of course Oman easily from here. I home school my children here. There are many schools to choose from, but most are around $10,000 Aussie dollars each for the year...not an option for us. The only down side i guess by living here is the cost of rent...astronomical!!!!!!...especially when paying for it yourself. You dont need to worry about being friendly to Arab men...your not likely to be a situation which brings you in close quarters to them. My neighbours are Nationals...the most friendly people we have met, and i can easily pop my head over the fence to chat to the husband. When I am inside sociallising with the wife, he leaves the room, as is Arab culture. We have never had any problems..in fact only great experiences. Live a little and see a bit of the world before its too late. If you dont like it, you can move onto the next place, and start the journey again. Cheers
