My son goes for his first interview tuesday..
My son will, if he gets the job, be moving out on his own, no partner, wife.probably Dubai.
He knows some people already working out there,he went for two weeks as a holiday, just before christmas, I'm posting as a dad of one,who wants to know the nitty gritty part of living there rather than the 24 year old's version of a two week holiday, doing brunch,going to golf tournaments, getting happy,but not working.
My main concern is health..what happens god forbid if he was taken ill, accident or something like this,what are the hospitals health care like,we are not just around the corner to visit, or help, how is the health care in Dubai compared to the UK, for someone on their own.
Do you rent or buy accomodation there, how do you go around doing it.
I know I sound a bit clingy,but my son is giving me the its all good dad, don't worry..
I'm not trying to stop him going, I just want him to look at the full picture and facts, and also for my peace of mind.
Can you please give me your thoughts,and experiences, thank you
