Introduction
Originally from London of Irish parents. I have travelled extensively for work reasons and am at present escaping the rat race, a little unsuccessfully. Perhaps I'm still a rat.
I joined expat.com on 27 August 2011.

Expat experience
Telecoms Engineering.
Food, fashion, transport, Tunnelbana (Tube, Metro),shops very good. A very tolerant country generally. Heating, hot water included in rent. Health service great.
Tax very high. Very expensive. Incredibly cold in winter but city is built to minimise that.
Airport electronics/power/radar/landing systems engineer.
Good weather but can be very humid. Western food plentiful. Although a Muslim country, the atmosphere is generally less oppressive than e.g. Saudi, as long as you are respectful of local beliefs and practices. No exit visa required to leave.
Far too many taxis vying for your custom.
