Perfect place

Having lived for 30 years in South East Asian countries, I had the opportunity to arrive in Sharjah five years ago and I fell in love with this place. I feel fortunate to have come to the UAE. Having worked and travelled all across the globe, I only found the UAE a perfect place. Never ever in my entire professional life, did I dare to step out in the night. I would return home latest by 10 or 11pm. I have never ever driven my car or motorbike after 11pm, even during my college days, when my confidence was at its best.

But having lived in Sharjah for five years, now I don't mind going out at 2am or 4am. I go for dinner with my family and return at 2.30am without any hesitation. I love Sharjah and the UAE. Life here is incredible. I am living peacefully and a happy life. I don’t have to bother for anything here. My 15-year-old daughter, on weekends goes to shopping malls with her friends and returns safely. This can only happen in the UAE. I appreciate the leaders of the UAE for making the country hospitable and safe.
