Hello everybody,

l just moved to Dubai from Turkey this morning and l am starting my new job tomorrow.

l dont want to sound too negative but l am already bored here. l dont know if it has anything to do with the place l am currently staying at or the weather.

l am willing to join social gatherings at the weekend though l will have to find a place to rent.

Thanks.

Hi Mr Cavatina,

l dont know. Maybe because where l am living is boring or l miss my home country.

l am currently staying at Al Quoz area temporarily.

Mr.Cavatina

I guess your area is boring specially when you don't have a car.

how come you missed your home country and its only the 1st day, sorry 2nd day now hehehhe.

What is your profession ?

Umut_teacher

l already miss the weather and my family back home, Turkey.

Yes its my third day today but l am feeling weird. Hopefully l will be OK in time.

l am an Eng teacher btw.

already, that's quite depressing..

Mr.Cavatina

Don't worry about the weather. one month only, and it will start getting cold.

But for sure it will not freeze as Turkey.
