Congrats, definitely moving on up there. As someone said earlier, I don't think you have to worry too much about sites getting blocked and what not.

The money is supposed to be rather impressive, but I'm most excited about is the prospect of having an Olympic sized swimming poll right outside my doors and a gym in the same apartment building which is a hop away from the actual place of business. *shallow and lazy*

Who knows what the people I'll encounter there will be like... The work is 10h per day with the weekends off and a rotation cycle of 90 days there 16 back home...

Don't sound too bad aye...?

Your little mb brotha, going off in the big white world...never to return again....

Shit is going down probably during October or early November so enjoy what little time you have with me coz I don't know what type of censor/firewall system they got set up down there....*teardrop*

Wish me luck...<3
Good luck on your journey.

Many thanks, y'all. My boss brought back some pictures last week and the place looks suspiciously like America, with a lot more sand of course. Not a bad thing...

They do block some sites as far as I know, but I'm hoping ultrasurf will take care of that problem. I know I don't post much but I'm not ready to call it quits just yet...

I don't think the restriction on alcohol use will affect me much, but I do wonder if you can get some quality acid down there...

Anyhoo, I'll keep you updated, whether you want it or not...

i have a friend who was stationed there

not much of hot women there - you're bi, IIRC?

i have a flight stewardess friend who goes there often, and she says it's pretty hot in the afternoon, and pretty dry desert-esque heat

i suppose if you're going in the winter, it won't be too bad

Lol, I wouldn't say there are no problems. I am definitely moving into a situation which is much less favorable from that the one I'm currently in. It's not exactly pleasant to consider that I am moving to a country where you can be sent to jail for being gay, so I will have to be very discreet about my sexual orientation but it is a compromise (a significant one) which I'm willing to make, albeit a temporary one, in order to secure a much more prosperous future. :/

Congratulations on this exciting change ... minus the part about having to compromise. :/ Kayleigh's and Il Duce's words make your upcoming adventure sound likely to be a good one...and that's without even considering your lovely location close to pool and work!

And now I will bid you bon Voyage in the words of my favorite Vulcan:

Live long and prosper, Adidasss!
