Moving back to Dubai after 22 years has been an experience! Back then we didn't have the internet or blogs. Now we do I can jot down my thoughts on daily life, things we come up against, things we enjoy, the multi-national society, the laws, the weather...plus other things in general which catch my attention.
About Me
- Seabee
- We lived in Dubai from 1977 to 1984, visited on a couple of holidays, then moved back again in 2005. We came because we wanted to watch the incredible development as it happened and we moved back to Oz in 2011. I now blog on Life in Oz and the link is on my last post here. I welcome comments & debate on the blog, but insults are unnecessary and inappropriate. I will delete any which are libel, racist, obscene, advertising or which are simply to make a point but are completely off-subject. If you want to do that, create your own blog. Oh, and I've decided to add a new category to the delete list because there are too many of them left on blogs - stupid comments. If you want to use my photos or quote from my posts you may do so - but only if you credit the source and give a link back to my original post.

Hi Seabee, I have been actively following your blog ever since my husband decided to move to Dubai. I learnt a lot about the city and my husband was surprised at the amount I knew about the city when I visited.
I long to be a part of the madness that is Dubai; unfortunately, the husband has decided to come back , so I guess that I will just have to continue keeping in touch with Dubai through your blog.
*twb
I live around the corner
"drill, drill, drill"
*seabee, I would like to make a "Merry Christmas" post on my "desperate princess" blog in time for today (Tuesday) - would you mind giving me permission for cross-posting on my blog with the same picture with a link to your blog in my post?
I look forward to your response ;-)
And Merry Christmas...hope you have a wonderful celebration! :))
i*maginate, sorry I'm late replying I wasn't online yesterday - yes of course you can use the photo.
heehee - next year perhaps. Thanks for the permission, though. Nice pic...and hope you had a wonderful Christmas!
