This is my first blog post since arriving in sunny UAE. I'm from just as sunny Perth in Australia although I was born in beatiful Gympie in Queensland.
I have been in UAE since early Febuary 2010 when my wife Kristii and me moved over here for my new job in a bank in the DIFC in Dubai. Kristii and I love it here. It rocks!!! I used to work for Westpac in Perth as a relationship manager in business banking (SMEs, mainly agri with a bit of retail) but I saw an ad for a job at a bank here and after only 3 interviews they offered me the job so I took it!!!! Mum and dad (I call him that but he's not my real dad hes my step-dad) were gutted but I promised to come back home a lot (theres a direct flight to Perth on Emirates), to call twice a week and to let them know how I was doing by writing a blog (that was my cousin Steves idea). So here goes!!!!!!
This is only the second time I have been outside Oz (the first time was for my sisters wedding in New Zealand) and now I'm a bono fide expat. Wicked!!! I'm really lovin Dubai and its way better than I thought it would be and theres so much to do. It's a bit like Perth and the people are really nice although I don't understand arabic yet. The press back home give this place a bad rep but its not all true. But more on that later!!!!!
I hope you enjoy my blog.
Stay positive and remember its only a problem if you let it be one!!!!!
Hi mum and dad miss ya!!!
