Hi !

i'm Hélène, 23 years old, young speech therapist from France. I just saw an offer of employment for Abu Dhabi and i was like : Yeah, ok, let's do this ! But before doing this, i would like to know a few thing about life in Abu Dhabi. Internet gave me some answers, but not all i needed : i hope you will !

If i'm coming, it would be just me by myself, knowing anybody. It doesn't really matter but i still would like to know : how is social life here ? Is that a city you make easily new friends ? Do you have a happening/partying district ? The average age is like 30 ? 40 ? 50 ? With mostly young active persons ? thirty-years-old person with family life ?

Thank you for all your answers !
