hi mmcc,
dubai is almost similar like KL eventhough it's arab country but it's quite liberal here. we can wear our KL clothes here except for few places where there's no revealing cloth alllowed (whc is very few anyway). i do not hv any kids so not able to advise on children education. but what i heard it's very expensive.
as for basic necessity, certain things are very expensive but certain things are quite cheap here. but since malaysian currency is getting stronger, if we earn in ringgit then everythings seems rather cheap
