Re: What is it like living in Kuwait? Same as UAE ?

Sid-
I would imagine that there must be some similarities in terms of both cultures or am I totally wrong ?

What is it like living in Kuwait? Same as UAE ?

Has anyone lived (or know anyone who has) in Kuwait ?

What is life like there ? Is it similar to the lifestyle in the United Arab Emirates ?

Re: It is difficult to stay positive.....

Ah yes....I also received some feedback and 2 interviews but it ended with no job offer.
I am also hoping that March and April will be more promising.
Best wishes to you too.

It is difficult to stay positive.....

During this arctic winter the time seems to be passing so slowly.
It is difficult to remember to stay positive and be patient during one's job search.
How are others faring right now in their quest to find an overseas teaching position ?
Has it been very quiet for you too ?

Doha,Qatar/Pros and Cons ?

Can someone who has either lived or is still living in Doha share the pros and cons
of living there ? ( I have done lots of research but now I would like to hear from international teachers.)
Is it easy to find taxis ?
Are there movie theaters ?
Good beaches ?
Great gyms/spas ?
Lots of restaurants ? (Any cheap ones ?)
How much do you spend on groceries per month ? Are you able to save ?

ANYTHING would be helpful.
Many thanks in advance.
