I'm planning on moving to Al Ain in the next 4 to 6 weeks. I live in Texas (please don't judge me yet, haha) and have been offered a job there. So I've been perusing the internet about life in Al Ain and ran into your blog. My name is Nichole by the way. I've visited the UAE a few times and am pretty excited about this move....and getting a little bit anxious.... I'll be working at Tawam hospital. Just thought I'd throw an email at you and see if you have any advice since you just moved there.
My email address is msimplen@gmail.com
Nice to meet you via 21st century soul reaching.
