Well I just wanted to share with the forum my lovely week in England visiting my family for Christmas. I brought my Egyptian fiancee with me and he absolutley loves the North East of England. Even though it's cold and grey he thinks it's fantastic here. We went to York for the day which was his favourite place. I was worried he wouldn't understand the Geordie and Yorkshire accents but no problems there.
He is now talking about buying a house over here in the next year or two so we have somewhere to stay when we come to England.
I feel really lucky that my family loves him and he them. I met his parents in Cairo in July and now I can relax when we get married in April as we've both met each others entire families. Happy days
I'm travelling back home to Dubai tomorrow and then going to Cairo next week to spend Christmas with his family. Two Christmases in one year. A really nice end to the year
I'd like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a prosperous 2009

Thanks Guys. Yeah he is aware of the recession my dad has just been made redundant and he is 57 so don't know how much chance he has of being employed again.
We don't plan to move to England permanently as I have a good job in Dubai and he has his own company there but it will be nice to have somewhere to stay when visiting.
I am staying at my friends pub/hotel in England which has been great as she hasn't let us pay for a single drink whilst we've been here and there have been many (seeing as it's Christmas :-)

You seem happy how you find Dubai you like it got family teaching out there they love it . I am hoping to go one day when i got a million pounds to spend .My cousin once went but she was well not happy she is a full blown out musliminah and her hubby and she did like the dress codes at all being it calls itself a muslim country based on corrupton and greed but then you cannot help by loving the tax free situation can you . Anyway safe journey and have a good new year are you all going to be on the nile for new year i love it then there .

I love living in Dubai, I was there on my own for a while before I met my boyfriend and embraced the lifestyle, but yes you're right there is a lot of corruption and greed, everything costs money and there isn't a lot to do outside of the nightlife and visiting the malls, lol that sounds a bit shallow but what i mean is it's so hot for 6 months of the year and humidity is high you literally can't spend anytime outside.it was 50 degrees plus this year but I won't be here forever plan to move to Egypt in 5 years or so, just need to get myself a PGCE qualification so I can earn a decent enough living :-) Teaching seems to be the best option for a career in Egypt
I'm staying in Dubai for New Year but will be in Egypt the first few days of Jan as my boyfriend celebrates Christmas on the 7th
