maria hi danielle not sure if i know u but i dont mind at all. my friend vicki works and lives in dubai- she is an air hostess and the apartment she lives with is mostly english people- or English speaking people. but i think they are mainly cabin crew. i can give you her number if you want or at least the apartment she lives in a that is a really good social atmosphere. what are u doing in dubia? if it is anything quite modernised you will meet english people where u live, but if not it is a real struggle. dubai isnt a westernised as what you might think and it can be quite lonely if you dont know anybody. if u want her number or facebook account contact me. my email address is [email protected] Maria xx
