From what I can tell from your map, you have visited Israel. It is my impression that having evidence of visiting Israel in your passport makes it impossible or extremely difficult to gain entry to Iran. Will you just get a new, "clean" passport to go there?

Also, some of the non-blacked countries on your map are a darker shade of grey than the others. Why is that?

Specific to your experience, how does one become an expatriate in Abu Dhabi? In terms of education and work?

Would it be ill advised to get hooked up with some decent painkillers to take the edge off while riding something like that out?
