living away def changed me - for the better - i'm not sure - it made me a nicer person and i do miss at times how much of a B*tch i used to be!

i know when i went back to the uk from the usa - you wouldnt think there are any major differences - there are and i didnt keep many of my mates in england when i returned - i am soooooo excited about the prospect of a new life and experience in dubai !!!

i dunno i have changed or not i still hang around with my school and uni friends.

but since i ahve started workign i have realised that being nice n all isnt gonna take u any where. ppl just dont lissen to u unless u bark on them and act like an asshole.
if u ask them to do ne thing with respect they just take u for granted and wont do it or wont do it on time or the way u wanted.
u bark on them act like a jerk and they are happy with it !!
dunno but i think this is what u call practical work life or some thing.

this forum changed me...i feel as if i were in fairyland and some1 brought me back to reality..

I have not worked away from California very much, however, i do go away on 2 week business trips, but i would hardly class that as living overseas. This is my first real long term overseas experience.

I guess we do get rather insular living at home. We only know what we see and read in the news, most of which does not stay as it does not really affect us, directly I mean.

It is only when you work overseas do you really get to experience things as they should be. I am really looking forward to my time here. All my girl firends in California think i am working in the middle of a war zone
