Hi i have been offered a contract to work as a Personal Trainer in the gym Clubfit in Waqf Abdulaziz Al Babteen Tower, sharq-area. Does anyone know of this gym? how is it??

I am there for 2 years if i decide to go and cant leave any earlier. I wish to save money while i am there but i don't want to be bored and out my mind or lonely as i have just turned 22 used to going out, being social and...drinking too.

My income will be 6400-8200 KWD tax free. My rent they are setting me up with is 150 per month, not a clue about electricity etc if that's included or not i have no clue. Is that enough to save or not? From what i understand it is pretty expensive.

Anyone familiar with the area too?

I have to give my decision by the end of the week. Help required asap.

Many thanks

as a place to get your drink on, it is possible but very limited in terms of how and where - Kuwait is a Muslim country with stricter rules than Dubai; its either at the embassy or local brew.

im guessing that is your per annum salary, which puts you as either 540KD- 680KD per month, which is how people view salaries here, per month.

is the rent paid by u or them? what about air tickets every year back home? do u get 30 days leave? whats your notice period?

all in all, id wait on a package in Dubai as it would be more fitting for the life style you are seeking.

electricity and water are included in the rent; so depending on your lifestyle, u can either save a few quid or spend it all. again, it depends on you.

as an amount, its not too shabby.
