Tough one to call....ideally somewhere away from the recession.
Dubai probably, although the weather and lifestyle does not appeal to me in the slightest over there.

Ideally i'd have a restaurant in Sirmione on Lake Garda, and spend my free time on my road bike, pedalling away contentedly round the lake.

Wont happen tho!

WRONG

Its big brother Abu Dhabi has had to pay its debts for the last three months, rents and house prices are down 40% the last quarter, expats are leaving in droves, the government finally realised that giving all the freebies to the locals does actually cost money. Its not the place it was 10 years ago, and I wouldn't give it a second glance now. Not somewhere to go to make money. Even the launch of the new Atlantis hotel they said would be the last big extravaganza as it costs too much.

You want money, go to the real shit hole places that have discovered they have something the world wants or needs like Qatar (Gas), Sierra Leone (Minerals), DR Congo (Minerals). Thats where you make money. Even Iraq to rebuild the infrastructure, money they pay is nuts.

26 years in Dubai since I was 4 and now in Qatar working and its a piece of piss. Find a global company who have contracts in these places and apply. It really is piss easy to find a job here, they need people who are willing to actually put some effort in.

I will say aswell, its who you know out here that will stand you in good stead. Try and find someone who knows someone out here or works out here and approach them.

I'd like to work in Barnsley, it would be so rewarding to work with such a disadvantaged race.
