We are also excited about the opportunity to live in another part of the world and experience a brand new culture. Jen is especially excited about the warm weather. She's always said it can't be too hot, so we'll see. It can get into the 120's with 80%+ humidity. I suppose we'll get use to it, but I know I'll love the winters in the 80's.Professionally, I'm looking forward to the new challenges. It will be the first time I move out of finance and into operations. I've always supported operations and helped guide the business, but I've never been the person with the ultimate decision. I'll be reporting to a General Manager who wants me to run the day to day activities and assist with new sales. It is an area of the world with a lot of potential.
Personally, we'll be living in one of the fastest growing cities in the world. It's a very western city despite being in the middle east. We'll be next to the
Persian Gulf so we'll have plenty of opportunity to spend time at the beach. There is an indoor ski slope (yes, they build an indoor mountain to ski), huge malls, great golf (the Dubai classic in Feb is in, well, Dubai), and tons of restaurants and entertainment. They have the worlds only 7 star Hotel and are creating more tourist traps each year.
I'll be traveling to Dubai on the 14th of June and returning on the 20th. I'm sure I'll learn a lot more about the city and what it has to offer. Below is one of the many great slide shows we've found on Dubai. Hopefully, they'll give you new insight into what Dubai has to offer.
