The middle east is the place to be right now.. It is the place with most cash money right now in the whole world!

And people there are more impressed in Academic than experience...I've been there and I know that...

I recommend Qatar, Dubai is good, but the lifestyle and money is much better in Qatar.. in addition, Qatar is one of the few countries who actually showed growth in this economic crisis...

Well, I don't know why there are not many academicians from ASIA, but I don't think it is about the culture shock.. Which university have u looked at?

Fizzy, Dubai of course is effected by the crisis, but they are in better shape somehow coz of all cash they got from the souring prices of Oil just before the economic meltdown, so they have the money to keep the current projects, specially in infrastructure, running .
