My sister heard that I like a certain product line ("beauty" stuff) so she gave me some shower gel as a gift. She was surprised when I said I prefer soap. In fact, I travel a lot and always pack soap as most hotels do not provide soap for the shower (just face soap). What's your preferenc...

Not a problem for me. This post sent from my ipad - using my neighbor's wifi

The only problem is the slowness of the internet in the UAE (no matter how much one pays)..I think Haiti has better internet speed and they just discovered computers the day before yesterday!

Yes.

It simply depends on where it is - location, location, location and the amount of people that visit or number of hotels - you would not get away with calling a dump a "5 star" hotel in New York/Paris/Venice but would in Nicaragua and the UAE! The ratings depend on certain "amenities' ...

I think that eventually there will be far fewer whites, but who cares? Having a homeland has nothing to do with your physical appearance - in the future the language and dress will likely be the only way to tell where people come from. Even if that becomes more homogenous I think it wouldn't be a b...

You are certainly roaming the internet for tats a lot, for somebody claiming he hates them. Takes about 3 seconds mate. Try google, its a wonderfull thing ! pic1.png LOL. How did you do that? Now on the tatoo thingy. I don't like them at all. Never saw a person with a tatoo (male or female) where I...

try going other than to Chilly's or McDnodals

It's Candanias...who do you expect...

They start wearing flip-flops and shorts when the temperature reaches 1 degree!

Prefer dresses - for women!

For some of you...(if if you were born there whilst on family vacation)

I prefer wearing duck feathers - that way all of the above = nothing!

I'm boycotting e-mail on the weekends.... From 1 January, I stopped opening e-mail at dinner time (that is, no e-mail reading till next morning and only after breakfast). Now I will not open e-mail on weekends. I'm also thinking of boycotting the internet on weekends but for now I am not. I'm sure y...

I'm suspecting a hoax. But if not; they have planes in the UAE and aiports at "friendly" destinations for that sort of thing (and internet to find them)...

Careful next time...

aren't duck feathers rather small Ambassador?

Ok, geese then - huge ones!

Bethsmum wrote:Oh no! another dilema! Now we are not only confused about the Ambassador's gender, but also his/her nationality, although I have to say I think he/she is English:D

Or religion,
Or occupation,
Or age,
Or marital status

I would give to an educational charity to give everyone a decent start in life. I would also bribe a UAE official so I could moderate spelling and grammar officially on this forum, and for those who dropped below my expectations, be allowed to taze them at the public square on a Friday. Did you mea...

Only when Chocs decrees it so. This rule applies to everyone but her, Kanelli and DK.

(CNN) -- The United Arab Emirates has announced a huge increase in the number of people who will take part in an upcoming election to choose the members of its advisory legislative body.

So Saudi, India, Pakistan, Kuwait etc must be a zero percent or low figure stress zone? OR DO THEY NOT COUNT? I doubt Saudi or Kuwaiti women are "stressed" - after all. most; don't have jobs, don't cook, don't clean, don't raise their kids, don't drive(Saudi), etc...*runs for cover*! Paki...

That's why it is best to have one's own planes

I must say that just with everything in life; there are always exceptions and some rude people do not make everyone rude (just like at DF).

I've either not been paying attention or am surrounded by gentlemen - and ladies. You guys might need new crowds...

FB, unlike sites such DF are more likely to generate that kind of action (fines, etc.) because the posters know exactly who the other person is. Don't be surprised when the flood of slander lawsuits starts (it has started but not yet heard widely)...this is because slander is written negative/defami...

Have not read the article but I suspect Flores is gay...not because of the lawsuit but if what he says took place (exposure) then She would have been more comfortable doing it. It is a silly story.
