Week 1 in Al Ain

So what did we do for a week? In between trying to relax a little, heading out to the college a couple of times, finishing my residency process, being taken to the bank to open an account and deposit my “housing allowance”, getting the phones sorted, being taken shopping to various locations around town, visiting our villa and getting the keys for that, and then trying to get some furniture, curtains and electrical goods so I would have a “home” to go to once K and A headed back to Doha... Well nothing really! Actually it turned out to be a busy week...

Once again everything was just far better than our last experience. The residency process was quick and painless, as was the bank and Etisalat (the phone company). Our villa is huge and in a very good location, college is good and most of the staff and students I have met have been friendly and helpful. Just really have no complaints about anything apart from having to settle in by myself...

Anyway more about home and work later!
