Could I Live Here?

Al Ain is a beautiful city. An oasis in the desert only a short distance to the Omani border. No high rises, beautiful red sand dunes, rocky outcrops and hills with a better climate. You can drive across the city in 15 minutes, a taxi ride costs no more than 15 dirhams ($6). There are no high rises. I think the highest building is no higher than 4 storeys. It is an established city, not like Doha which is more frontier like in nature. Could I live here?.. No

The problem is a lack of Internet bandwidth for some reason. I think I would struggle with the frustration I am feeling with the lack of speed. Not being able of load pictures here is but one example. The poor Internet connection I have here has made me realise how dependent I have become on this technology.
