I have been living in Dubai now for a little over a month. I work at the American School of Dubai, in Al Barsha. The last month of my life has been absolutely CRAZY so let's try to summarize! I arrived on August 16th after a 24-hour flight delay due to a weather problem in Washington DC. Since my arrival I have furnished my apartment, started a new
job, met a whole bunch of new friends, eaten new foods, obtained a new drivers' license and car, among others.
I live in a complex called MotorCity, which is mostly expats (as is the general population of Dubai!) In fact, according to most estimates there is only a 17% local Emirati population in Dubai. Here is a pic of my apartment complex (I will take more of my actual apartment soon)...
It is very pretty and situated next to an Autodrome, which I thought would be loud and obnoxious but actually is not! Many of the new teachers are in the same apartments as I am, so there is no lack of people to explore with. My apartment is a 2-bedroom, 3-bathroom first floor unit, and is tons of space for just me!
