One week gone

Well I have been here for a week and I am not enjoying it.
C an't really put my finger on any particular thing.
The company is nice, although it doesn't have any business plan and it's a corporate.
The building is nice.

but....

Apartments are expensive and cost anything from Stg800 a month in Dubai (1.1/2 hour drive away) to stg1700 a month in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. You have to pay at least quarterly to one year in advance!

Heavy traffic in the city and seems to take 45 minutes anywhere you want to go.
+I am earning less than Amsterdam.
+I am away from the family.
+Taxi drivers seem to live in their cars and tend to be asleep in the morning and I have to wake them up and have the window open because of the B.O.
+My visa is still being processed and I can't get my passport nor can I get a leased car and apartment
+Hotel I am in is 50 minutes from the office and they don't do room service, so I have to order and then collect it myself.
+Internet is not as good as Europe for 2 main reasons.(1)Not enough bandwidth in the country (2) It's all monitored and censored for big brother reasons

So as you can see a number of things really. I don't think I came here with the right frame of mind when I found I couldn't be here tax free!!!
