Leaving...and gone, again

[loki_spawn]

Don't know exactly why I'm posting this at all. I hardly think that I'll be missed from these forums but it's not all about that. I'm an expat living currently in Dubai which is in the United Arab Emirates (look it up in an atlas, it borders wioth Saudi). I've lived here a year now with my parents and brother and was expected to stay longer but as things do, things come up. I'm not gonna go into that too much but it was something with my dad's work, which was the reason we came here in the first place from Sweden. I've loved it here and have made a bunch of friends and feel I had got a better life here then I ever had in Sweden (mine, and my ancestors homeland). It's not what the stereo-type view on arab countries is at all. It's highly developed and got plenty of room for mre and ppl might have heard of certain projects here like islands being built in the shape of palms and the world. The hardest thing to get used to is that the week starts on Sturday and Thurday and Friday is holiday. Anyway, I've loved it here and would not wish to leave but as things r. :(

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This isn't the first time I've lived as an expat. When I was 9 we moved to Singapore for 3 years though I didn't enjoy it far as much as this time. It was tough especially since I didn't speak English almost at all when we moved which was the spoken language (sp?) of the private International school I went 2. At least this time I didn't have that problem when I came to Dubai.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I came back for a year to Sweden but found it hard to get back in place, especially in my old school. So much changes. After another school year had finished we were off to Dubai and after a year here we r ready to get back to Sweden again (none of this was planned btw, things just come up). I guess my biggest regret now is that I haven't had much contact with my friends in Sweden. I don't know why, I just never did. I just feel...don't know. :(

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

By the time anyone reads this I'll probably be asleep and within 6 hours I'll be off 2 the airport 4 Birmingham (7 hours there, pooh!) - to Sweden. Again Im not sre why im posting this, depression I think. I guess it also is goodbye as this is probably the last post I'll make in a while since the analouge connection we got in Sweden usually isn't too relible. But mostly Id like ppl to post their expat lifes if they have anything to share.
