We've only three friends left in Dubai, everyone else has been made redunadant and forced to leave the country (i.e. passport returned at the airport just before boarding the flight).<BR/><BR/>Our friends are the lucky one because, although they are without jobs they can return home relatively debt free. The construction workers who have been here for less than three years are going back to face the loan sharks with no way to pay back thier debt. Rumours have it that the rate of suicide has increased dramatically because of this. Rumours say it's gotten so bad that construction companies don't tell the workers that they have been made redundant until they are onboard a boat to take them home.<BR/><BR/>Let's hope the bottom of the crisis is found soon and the wealthy start to reinvest.<BR/><BR/>Hayden will find a job soon... hopefuly in a city with a big bookshop and excellent coffee.Druehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11515675148874790777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18544357.post-21325976481405959962009-04-11T16:29:00.000+10:002009-04-11T16:29:00.000+10:00So sorry to hear things are still the same for you...So sorry to hear things are still the same for you guys but you have each other and that is something that not a lot of people have - we are both very lucky girls :)<BR/>Take care of yourselves in Townsville and speak to you soon.<BR/>Love Claire xxxtunabakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17434082684868053959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18544357.post-23191207395046669172009-04-10T13:07:00.000+10:002009-04-10T13:07:00.000+10:00God will make a way when there seems to be no way....God will make a way when there seems to be no way.
