I worked in Dubai for two months. You'll have a high standard of living. And you have not not mind if you're social life revolves around hanging out in shopping malls and hotels, since that is where all the restaurants are. And you definitely need a car to get around. Everything is so spread out and it's too hot to walk.

Mostly westerners go there because salaries are tax free, so they can pocket away a lot of money. It was okay. I like to party, but in all honesty it got pretty boring. Also I was there during the summer, and it was Ramadan, so it was doubly boring. But the rest of the year, people tell me it's great.

I'm considering going back there.
