I lived in Dubai for few years before relocating to the United State Of America. First I went there for a visit and because I love the scenery I decided to stay there. I learnt about the country, and their culture. I love how they practice their religion and how they dress. I hope to visit back some day but now with my kids.

English is the general language used in my country.
