Worked so hard on a short film; but at the same time, I had a tough time emotionally with a doomed relationship - many difficult days there; and on return.

Too much traffic in Sharjah roads - a bottleneck of traffic snarls.

I was very ill, in hospital; and even when I returned to UAE, I was very ill.

All the upheaval and stress of a new country, work demands, missing my family; and there was way too many men in groups who 'stared' whenever I walked outside. Was creepy and disgusting and was a pivotal reason for moving Emirates.

I was recovering from a breakup (very painful time); was missing the time with his family who I still love dearly; and the filthy rotten Thieves who stole my broadcast quality camera gear - all that just about broke my heart, and it sure changed my destiny; plus, I was thrown back to Australia without any choice in the matter. Took another seven months to find an employment contract - overseas!

I was travelling constantly between Gold Coast and Mildura, Victoria. Exhausting and expensive.

Language barrier; living at the school meant I couldnt escape the situation; and getting very ill from a virus - so ill, that I had to return back to Australia early.

The prostitute woman who accosted me on the street harrassing me for money; yet her very expensive brand name shoes were worth more than my entire wardrobe at that time!

Perth used to be very parochial, undeveloped and is isolated - in those days.
