Books; shipping them from the UK and buying them in UAE
Hello,
Well, less than 2 weeks before we pack up and ship out to Abu Dhabi. We're all excited but a little nervous and are glad that we can bring some of our creature comforts with us. One thing that I am a bit upset about is that our removal company have advised us not to ship any books. Is this something that other people have experienced? We as a family love reading. We have lots of books on history and economics and I can understand why it might be a good idea to leave some of these behind, but what about novels, books on geography or mythology or my little one's story books? Is it likely that they will be censored or seized??? Which brings me onto my next question, what sort of book stores are there in the UAE, can I buy for instance, The Gruffalo, or Spot the Dog fairly easily? Is it possible to buy most of the things you might find in Waterstones in the UK? Is there a UAE version of Amazon or something similar? Any advice would be much appreciated!
Many thanks :-)
