well, its an ok place, you'll get used to it in a while. a two bedroom apartment is ok sized...i live in a villa, but i guess the flat bedrooms are around 5m x 5m. and living rooms are pretty big- compared to the uk and ireland, the houses here are pretty much bigger.
The coldest its ever been here is around 10 degress celcius, i just wear a hoody and shorts.
There are beaches here, not far from the compound, they are about 10-30km away from the compound. 10km away from the compound is the harbor.
my friends go out quading and biking on weekends, there are long open roads behind the compound that go to a flat desert, near there are a lot of hills, if your 'hubby' likes stunts and stuff.
Most places stay open during ramadan, most shops close at around 12 and open up at 4-ish and stay open till about midnight.

i miss the pubs most!

Im a student btw, study in the school in the compound. Im in yr 13, so its my last year of school (year 12 and 13 are known to be pre-college years)

p.s. if u want i can send u pics of the apartments, or possibly a house plan.
