Here's a good question: Why move to the United Arab Emirates? There are many pros and cons. Here are some that I thought of:
Pros:
1. Tax-free salary
2. Sunny every day
3. Meet new people with broader points of view
4. Easily ignore the US media
5. Cheap shawarma
6. Roger Federer likes to visit
Cons:
1. Football starts at 1am
2. Gambling illegal
3. Have to find a new hairdresser
As you can see, there are many dimensions to consider here. Of course, the only reason I started considering these factors in the first place is because I was offered a job - a great, exciting, challenging, growth-potential job- doing something I like with people I like. File that one in the Pro column.
I'm sure there are many Pros and Cons that I'm not even aware of yet. I'll have to add to the list once I get there. I had some new ones today, arising from the preparations phase of the trip.
Pro:
Sleeping in on days I've taken off from work to pack
Con:
Too much work to do to be able to sleep in
Pro:
Good packing energy as a result of excellent new Radiohead album gifted to me by Robert and Liz. Thanks guys!
