Ok, first of all you are right about the overnights i was referencing being in Africa. As for why you would return I meant to live. I was told that emirates pilots must live in country, and that's just a huge negative for me.
Now onto your other comments. Your tone of writing made it seem like you were calling me an idiot. You might want to get your facts straight before you start saying someone doesnt know what they are talking about. No I was not confusing the UAE with another country. I lived near jumeirah beach for part of the time, by city center for another stretch and the mariott hotel apartments near the river and Dubai marina. I was based at the port of Jebel Ali, and spent every day traveling on sheikh zayed road. I know quite a bit about that country and would never go back (except on an overnight).
As for the sex and the city reference, no I didn't get that from that movie. That is what I called it when I was there. This was 05-07 so that movie hadn't come out yet
