I will be moving to Dubai from USA and I'd appreciate if you guys could let me know a good shower filter that I could buy in USA and use in Dubai. I looked at Aquasana filters, but the reviews for Aquasana seem to be mixed. I'm looking for something thats sturdy enough and that can withstand everyd...

Dressing modestly will definitely draw less attention than dressing with your tits hanging out. This works in all countries of the world.

Hey... Islam also teaches tolerance.

It's not a competition who has the best new years.

Someone should write them.

But the truth is, I spoke to an aerial photographer a few months back and he said actually the reason why it was out of date because the companies licensed to aerial photograph the whole of the UAE want too much money for the images from Google.

Yeah I can't believe people sit there and manually sensor EVERY magazine.. it must take forever, or they must have oodles of people doing it.

p/s Google Earth is probably a lil outdated but not 3-4 years. Dont they update from the satelite regularly or how does it work?! Less and less of Google Earth is actually satellite photography, most the blurry distance stuff is satellite though. The detailed stuff is actually composites of aerial ...

Sorry to say, but there is nowhere you can complain.

I should have been more detailed.

You can complain to lots of places:

* here
* 7 Days
* Gulf News (they won't print it though)
* RTA

but in terms of getting a resolution...

Won't happen.

His Supreme Majesty the Emperor of the Planet Earth is visiting Dubai today and thus all traffic has come to a standstill in anticipation. It took my 2 1/2 freakin hours to get to work today I thought he was visiting Abu Dhabi and *may* be visiting Dubai - therefore the RTA took it upon themselves ...

Seriously... the guy running the RTA has his head in the clouds (and somewhere else too). Were Dubai a democracy and such a thing as freedom of the press existed, he would be toasted by the media for his failings. Just because he is linked to one of the biggest Automotive Families in the region does...

Just because he is linked to one of the biggest Automotive Families in the region doesn't mean he knows banana about what it takes to run a transport system. Careful Ian, or you might find yourself picking bananas for the rest of your days... Haha, you should see what people say about him on other ...

Very good

I think they're just trying to flush you out.

Agree with most of the Flash based sites.. but there are some notably good designers too.. HTML is still the best markup for presentation.. nothign has/can really replace(d) it....but ofcourse it is very limited in programming terms..

Surely this is unlikely (I have an email from the DIFC) What's unlikely? That the whole city will be shut down Last year there was a horrific bus crash on Sheikh Zayed Road on almost the exact spot of the Al Barsha toll gate. It pretty much paralysed Dubai for the whole morning... blocking traffic ...

That really depends on how good you are.

There's a lot of competition for these positions, and people willing to work for not very much.

ok, just got official confirmation of this. How in the world are u suppoused to get to work tommorow? I need to get from Jumeirah 1 to deira. I have friends who work in the middle of it and live in the middle of it. Jumeirah 1 to Deira -> head down Beach Rd. take Shindagha tunnel and then sort your...

I get the feeling you roam the seediest parts of Dubai, outside bars or something. I've never seen local guys blatantly harrassing local women in my 25 years here. There is the occassional case in the papers, but it is not as rampant as you make it seem. So what have you been doing for the last 25 ...
