Egypt: hello everyone :):

Dear Girl, who wants to settle in Egypt... I was there, I am European married an Egyptian and lived with his family. First of all, I was rather lucky - ended in an intelligent multi lingual family who took me in with love and respect, but I saw so much over religiosity and that is so huge part of their life that it became so much depressing for me... Anyways, I am still married and in Dubai but ... miserable, not free person. I do not live my own life and cannot go to visit parents whenever I want, I cannot invite any friend to my home,I am very lonely and live practically only for my child - that's the only reason I can actually laugh or have some fun. My husband is over-conservative although when I met him - he was not religious (I guess he was hiding it from me), he was rather open minded, etc. but they all are Egyptian after all - that's the nature and that is something nobody and nothing will ever change in them. Control freaks, aggressive, arrogant, and love their mums and sisters and brothers, their religion, their opinions only etc. If you can understand what we all are saying here - Do not do this step whatever he says to you. Let him follow you, not the opposite. Do not go to Egypt and do not put your kids in danger. He will at some point when angry or upset use his Egyptian rights and threaten you with kids. Don't do this to them. It's better wait for a while - there are so many nice guys around, let them find you. Do not listen to sweet words, they are lies!

Latvia: how to get a job in latvia:

First of all - what is your nationality, profession, are you holding a work permit for Latvia if you are a foreigner? There is a high rate of unemployment in Latvia. I just returned back from there being a Latvian with International exp. - 4 months of work search and all I got is 2 job offers from my best friend and salary is very low LVL 850.00 per month. How one can survive on that if not single and have a child or children?!!! No idea. So, think twice. You may be lucky but... chances are very thin there

United Arab Emirates: Life & work in UAE:

Hi everyone in UAE! I am not new at all over here. We are 4 years here in Abu Dhabi already. But what I want to know is where it is better to live - in Dubai or Abu Dhabi. If you get equal salaries in both emirates - what would you go for?

Egypt: How to work with Egyptian:

I understand you dislike this quality of dishonesty, especially with Egyptians you work - everybody feels the same way about lies... But in Egypt you have to be tough with people to make them respect you. When respect comes - honest answer may follow, but not always. You have to be careful to identify liers from normal people. You have to check many time s first and only then to trust, deal with them but never relax comepletely. It is a hard life over there in Egypt, but if you want to stay there - you will have to get used to many things which might be unacceptable for you. It is up to you how you deal with dishonesty, rudeness, lack of intelligence in many people - the best thing there is to ignore and be careful and strong. That is my answer to your question. Good luck at your work!

Egypt: vacation to cairo & meet egyptian:

I totally agree with Groundhog (sorry if I misspelled the nick). You should not do what you are contemplating about - it's total nonsence! Normal Egyptian men do not have more than one wife! I am married to one - and all his family would refuse him if he would do something like that. I know Egyptians - not all of them are bed. They are difficult to deal with but most of them are desent in terms of marriage if they love. If you like Egyptian men - you can easily find a free one without wife. The one which goes the way of 2 wives - is the bed type and probably even not properly brought up, he is spoiled and quit you very fast - will go for the third one... Do not advise you to do this choice. Come to UAE - you will get work, a good man any nationality and it will be better than Egypt thousands of times.
