Cost is negotiable... as long as I don't get my hand cut off for drinking spirits.

Yep, if you can afford the $100 per person ticket up the elevator. And then afford the drink. Everything is just absurdly expensive there.

Nope. No hardship. They have a really complex formula to determine hardship, danger and cost of living indexes, and Dubai gets a zero across the board. I am considered one of the luckiest guys in my class, given the fact that many of my classmates are going to war torn countries and places that have never heard of McDonalds. Dubai will be VERY expensive, but you can find everything you need or want there (if you can afford to pay for it). Plus you don't have to worry about being gunned down coming out of your kids' birthday party at the Consulate like they do in Ciudad Juarez. Mexico is considered the most dangerous country to go to now (outside Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan of course).

Congrats J.  Beautiful place. Wishing you and yours only the best.

Yep. It's an interesting world. Looking forward to your dispatches from the post...
 
By the way, is that considered a hardship post? It seems pretty posh but the rules are pretty severe, I'm sure, so I guess it would be.

Yep. Dubai. World's tallest building. Skiing indoors. Wild and crazy, but just don't kiss in public.

By the way: Dubai? You know AugieK is probably as familiar as anyone with that town...

I was walking through that museum and all of a sudden I was staring at a huge poster of the corner of my street, where one of the largest centers is located.

Flowers. At the U.S. Botanical Gardens.

And then on to the Smithsonian American Indian Museum.
