2. How much is the school fee (international school) for kids age from 4 to 9 years old.
3. How much is the cost for a 7 seater SUV or MPV.
4. How is the working life in Abu Dhabi especially with ADCO interm of working hours, life work balance, working environment, expectation from employer and etc.
5. How easy for woman to travel in Abu Dhabi? Can woman drive?
6. any other info.

thank u and regards.

Hi,

I got the offer, but the salary was not up to my expectation. So I turn it down. May be next time.
