didn't choose to be here..was raised here by my parents.. love it here as much as i love the motherland and other places i've been..besides, the GCC bloc is pretty much perfect for laid back and easy going folks, for whom good food, deep sleep, family/friends plus a few other indulgences are all that they desire from life..and yes as said by fatimah, its easier to be muslim here lol..
welcome and wish you a pleasant stay:-)
