is there anybody out there over 55 years of age?? Have been following this forum for a while now. My husband has a contract to work in Dubai for up to 18 months. I will not be living with him but will be coming over every 6-8 weeks for a month or so and wondered what everyone does to keep themselves occupied. Have visited a few times but have always stayed in hotels. Husband will be renting apartment, not sure where as yet.
Would like to know what the more mature women get up to over there.

Do you like to sing? If so Singcere commumity choir just started up 4 weeks ago. No auditions, just a love of singing and some enthusiasm required. I am really enjoying it. I'm in my thirties but there are a wide range of ages attending. We also have coffee after so it's a great way to socialise and meet new people. http://www.singcerechoir.com

You will tire of the malls very quickly. I have been "shopped out" for many many years and it is months between visits to a mall these days.

Thanks Jolly super and mrsb really appreciate your replies. Will bear these in mind when I get over there. It's nice to know that it is not all about shopping! My friends at home seem to think I should spend all my time in the malls!!

Hello I'm in my sixties and there are plenty of more mature ladies here. The Expatwoman coffee mornings are a good start to meet other ladies and to find out what's going on. Then depending on your interests you will find many friendly ladies playing golf or tennis, or cards maybe at someone's house. It is what you make it really. Welcome!

Thanks rawla! My grandsons ( aged 2 + 4 ) actually tell people that I am called "grannieyoda" thanks to my son (their dad) who is a big Star Wars fan!! Hopefully it does not reflect on my appearance!!!
