Typical Gulf state, trying to modernize with a slow pace. Lots of preparation going on for 2022 FIFA cup. Mosques are beautiful.
Scarcity of schools, due to rapid construction, traffic jams are common.

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

May 2011 - Jul 2013

Dubai, United Arab Emirates

I was Estimating Manager in one of the leading Contracting Companies here. Major projects were Damac towers and Highways pricing in Kuwait
Estimating Manager
Its a very dynamic city, every year you will find changes in landscape. One of the best countries to reside in whole Gulf. The locals are very courteous and welcoming. Rules are generally equal for all, and the best thing is the technology and its inter connectivity.
There is no guarantee of staying back, the moment you loose your job. Schools and education is effected tremendously, while you live and work in any gulf state.

Port-of-Spain, City of Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago

I was Estimating Manager in one of the leading Contracting Companies here. I implemented full estimating procedures and won several projects for the company, some of them are St. Augustine secondary school, Scotia Bank Renovation etc
Estimating Manager
Though, without doubt its a beautiful scenic place, i found its people second to none, loving, helpful and courteous. Such a mix society of cultures and religion, but they live very harmoniously there.
There is nothing so far that I dont like about Trinidad.
