Good Day!
I am so excited to have found this site! I am a teacher currently looking at a position in Bahrain and other areas in the M.E. I am hoping to hear from other expats regarding moving and explaining it to their family (especially with the recent events). The day I mentioned the idea to my family it was not a pretty sight! Concerns of unrest, being kidnapped, blown up, jailed, treated as a servant, held hostage, degraded as a woman, and any other negative thing you can think of!
So how did you handle it? Any advice regarding this topic or any "good to know" info is greatly appreciated.
My background:
I am an African American Female
Married (husband will need to find a job)
have a small dog that will be joining the travels!
christian-I will want to attend church
Places I am considering: Bahrain, Qatar, and UAE
