thumbup from me to! I'm a copywriter and there's no shortage of work for a GOOD designer/art director - recruitment agencies a bit patchy, but regular ads in Gulf News and most agencies will be happy to see you and your portfolio

accommodation pricey, cars and petrol dirt cheap.

great stuff...interesting to see most of you are in media/design related roles too, thanks for info

bit shocked on the accomodation being pricey bit though....i thought as supply is way higher than demand things would be relatively cheap

i was there a year ago anyway and some apartments etc aint too badly priced, unless you know otherwise

Its probably relative, given that you are currently in London.

We had the same here in Singapore, everyone saying how rental as so expensive, but still seemed to be a bargain compaired to zone 2 London!
