The photos are wonderful and I absolutely love the "women only" venues :) however, I am very disapointed in your living quarters and am considering writing to the Gov. of Al ain if you think it would help. The apt they've given doesn't seem like a place that they would want to live! How dare they, it doesn't even appear to consider the basic needs. I am NOT HAPPY that you are so unhappy. Please give me an address/email/phone number of someone I can speak to.
