I have been working as an IT consultant in Copenhangen, Denmark, and my job requires lots of travelling. My job took me to places like Amsterdam, London, Paris, Rome and Ho Chi Minn City and I have enjoyed my stint wherever I went. I am an Indian national and have worked in many Indian cities like New Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai and Pune, before moving abroad. Many of my college friends and seniors have been in the UAE for more than 25 years but I never had the opprotunity to come to this part of the world.
But I had heard a lot about the UAE and I got a chance to be in Dubai last week. I had a great time living in Dubai. I found it a very modern city. No wonder people throng Dubai and the UAE whenever they get an opportunity. I found the UAE as one of the most peaceful and tourist-friendly countries I have ever visted.
I travelled mostyl in the night after my work and I found the UAE incredibly safe. I was rather pleased to see people helping me to find out my location. Even taxi drivers were very friendly and honest and they helped me a lot. I was grateful to them for helping me out to find my destination. Many of them even offered me tea on the way. It was a great feeling to be in the UAE.
