First few days

Hi everyone!
Yesterday I had the honour of going for a medical.
This involved going to an ' Unhealthy Medical Centre' in Dubai although I am in Abu Dhabi, becuase my entry visa was for Dubai.
This medical was an x-ray and a blood test for Aids and Hepatitus 'B'.
Amongst all kinds of unwashables and richly smelling BO people.
Not a good start to the day.
I have been looking for accommodation and it's much more expensive than Europe.
There are thousands of apartments empty but they won't bring the price down, because they are astute business men!!!
I met wiht the salesman from the Crowne Plaza hotel last night and basically I have a decision to go into an apartment in Dubai which is an hours drive in a 2 bedroomed place for about Stg 1297 plus electric, gas etc, or a serviced luxury room for Stg 1912. Also they will give me a very cheap room for the family whne they come at Stg55 a night with all the facilities. I know it sounds alot of difference, but it gives me flexibility to get out when I want.
Temperature is about 38c here at the moment.
People are nice.
