My friend went for 8 months and had no complaints. Said it's a pretty modern country compared to most of the rest of the ME and he didn't have any issues with crazies.

The overseas extra per diem or whatever they gave him was very nice.

Worked with a guy that did. Said the Emarati's value of human life is virtually zero.

They had a guy doing work for Shell out in the desert. Didn't notice the guy was missing for 3 weeks. Didn't go looking for him, just took him off the payroll and moved on.

He also said all the construction equipment was painted grey and all the workers wore grey to blend in and not be an eyesore.

Hope you enjoy living off the backs of slaves, because that's what is going on there.

Yeah, anyone that goes and works out there or travels there for fun is either a horrible person or totally ignorant on what is going on there. It's a horrible place that partake in slavery. The place needs to be burnt to the ground as far as I'm concerned.

Go ahead. If you would knowingly enjoy living off of the backs of slaves, you're a bad person. Tell me where I'm wrong in that.
