Hi all... I'm heading to Aberdeen on Tuesday to interview for a job @ an oil co. Trying to research what life in Aberdeen is like but really having trouble. I looked into going to Qatar previously and found a wealth of information... Aberdeen must be extremely small and/or very quiet ??? Anyone have good links describing what city life is like; what a 31yo single guy can expect... is it totally boring? Is it only feasible to get around with a car? Thanks in advance for any help...

There are several questions you need answered. Are you married? Do you want a similar atmosphere for your kids? Arab countries are EXTREMELY different. I have worked in Tunisia,Iran, and Dubai and I would not take my family there. Europe would be far better for you. We sent 4 years 16 miles west of Aberdeen, Scotland and would move back tomorrow. Aberdeen is like any other big city. Please note thAT i AM A MARRIED GUY AND MY EXPECTATIONS MAY BE VASTLY DIFFERENT THAN YOURS; BUT REMEMBER aBERDEEN IS A NICE PLACE.

Aberdeen is a nice place. We just preferred the outskirts.

Glasgow (prob 3rd/4th largest in the UK)is the largest city in Scotland, followed by Edinburgh, then Aberdeen so not that small.
