Don't be confused by my name and nationality, I'm completely new to Russia. I moved about 7 months ago, and just started working about 3 months ago as a personal assistant in a pharmaceutical company. I just learned how to use the metro, and the name of the street I live on lol. However I still have difficulties remembering the number of my building. I lived my whole life in Dubai, U.A.E and compared to there, moscow is as alien to me as it gets. I thought I could meet people with ease on the streets or in the metro, but I was suprised to learn that meeting random people outside is not accustomed. Which is how I ended up on this site... looking for people I can share this experience with, of having to move to a completely new country.
I joined expat.com on 20 July 2010.
