Really? don't believe all you hear or read in the papers.. I wouldn't't have been there for so long if it was like that.

I been watching some videos on YouTube about Dubai, like you can walk drunk on the street, you can’t kiss your girlfriend in public.

don't believe everything in those videos, I stayed there for over 20 years and most of the stuff in those videos is extremely over exaggerated. Sure you have to have respect for the local culture but it is nowhere near as bad as they say. I certainly had many fun times there without worry.

Then it’s better to know this from people who already lived there. Did you had chance to go to the Burj Khalifa ?

yes I visited a few times, used to drink in a bar next to it but it is over hyped and expensive in that area of town though.

I believe the salary is higher , must be, if everything is expensive.

Salaries used to be good to be honest, but have dropped drastically over the past few year. A lot of workers from Africa, India and Asia who work for less money but are just as skilled have flooded the job market and driven down the salaries. It is one reason I left as it wasn't financially worth staying there any more.

Probably people who are born there and finishing their studies there having good salaries. I definitely wouldn't want to live in an expensive city, even London is expensive.
