I don't think I could live away from the UK, but that's because I already have a glimpse of what it's like (where I currently live is 3 hours from my nearest family and I often feel isolated). But I'd love to visit Dubai - it really does look like a stunning city!<br /><br />And someone else really enjoyed this post too because they chose to add itAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02939191890169448850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900246097326241068.post-26008261207615395372018-09-28T17:40:33.234+04:002018-09-28T17:40:33.234+04:00I have only been to the Dubai airport and so far i...I have only been to the Dubai airport and so far it has been the one I've been to.

Thank you for enlightening us to live abroad. I love South Africa and I always say that the safety issues and crime is the main factor why we are considering leaving. But my support system is here and I worry that life overseas will be very lonely. I have also heard that life is not all glamorous abroad Noleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10824417008210544234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-900246097326241068.post-21409148372560120342018-09-26T01:00:08.473+04:002018-09-26T01:00:08.473+04:00It must be hard people assuming life is just one b...It must be hard people assuming life is just one big holiday or jolly - I'm not sure I could cope with those temperatures though.

The amount of people who think we live here as if we are on one long holiday is unbeleivable. I tell them we still have shopping to do, food to prepare, ironing to do and bills to pay. It really is no different to living in the UK, apart from the weather...
