Dubai is not entirely representative of the UAE. I knew it had a reputation for being far more liberal and international in its outlook. But I wasn't really prepared for the positivity and the sense of optimism that I found.
I must have asked virtually everybody I met about how long they had come for and how long more before they go home. Everybody - and I mean everybody, not just the Irish - said they had had stayed longer than they originally came for, or were planning to stay longer.
Not one single person told me they wanted to go home.
The Irish in Dubai have a very good lifestyle. The teachers I met said they earned a little bit more than they did at home - but that they got to keep all of that money. There is no income tax, their accommodation expenses are fully paid, as well as health insurance and other benefits. (İndependent)
