Thanks.

Again, gezza. Do me a favour and don't answer me anywhere else in this forum if you only are going to use your ass as your only so-called "brain".

Sorry for being a little bit off topic here. I just got some - maybe stupid - question about the metro; when will it be finished and is it going to be all over UAE, or just in Dubai?

Is there any site out there that you can find out more about it?

Salam aleykum people. I am looking for a so-called studio in Sharjah. I am only here in UAE for six months To be exactly, I will stay until 10th june 2008. I am Arabic from Europe and came here for finishing my studies. My school sent me to do research in my work I just got here, and it will only la...

Ok, I've been in this country for two weeks, and just the first day I faced the stupidy of the cabs. I haven't been to Dubai so much, so I don't really know how it really is there. But in Sharjah, it's a real joke. When I go to work, I have to wear hijaab and look all arabic. My chances to get a tax...

Never heard people give them tip.

Burken

Wouln't say it's close to this in Sweden. In Sweden they are like heaven, comparing to this. Been to Egypt too, crappy cars, but still not being treated like Sharjah taxis. But as we are speaking about this I have some questions. How easy is it to get a taxi-driver-job? What do they have to do, to g...

Burken

That would be pretty much anyway. Some work at offices and only get 1500dhs per month. Oh well, those taxi people irritate me so much that I don't know what to do. Yes, I am a female. I was just wondering cause I suddenly got intersted in everything that has to do with this kind of work and people, ...

I don't see "tip" as normal in western world either. Just saw it in England. Maybe people who are rich or can afford can do it. That doesn't mean every d*mn white person can afford it. I am from Sweden and I live under very poor condition here, so I can't afford give the driver any tip. Th...

"hmm, what else...well uhh guys stare a lot So you have to put up with that." That's why she should ignore places like Rolla Square. Retards all the way to the sea. At the malls and places where things cost more than 5dhs, people are more "modern" and doesn't stare so much, at al...

I've been walking around in some malls, and I can't seem to find any store with streetwear. I am not looking for those low-life copy stuff you happen to find everywhere. I want the real stuff like http://www.sneakersnstuff.com . Does anything like that exist here in UAE? In Sharjah or Dubai? I need ...

Cool, thanks peeps.

I don’t know if I am stupid or anything, but one thing that have been suprising me like h3ll is the salaries in this country. How logic is it – with this type of high standard in living and high rent – to have so damn low salaries? It’s crazy. It doesn’t even seem to matter what kind of education or...

Burken

Well Ian, I am with you. That's the thing. But it's annoying me cause it affects people like me who want to get a descent job and good salary. It's crazy and stupid. Because of this, I have given up. I think I'll go back to Sweden instead, cause people just don't seem to get the value of a worker he...

Burken

That's my question too. I don't think it's about how creative you are or not. I have another theory - pretty simple one too. Like everywhere; either you get in contact with crappy companies or serious companies. I see the international ones being more serious than the "local" ones. But the...

quatroporte - May I ask where you work, how you got the job.. where you are from? Can take it in private, if you want. I am just asking this cause I think it is d4mn important to know how people from well educated countries and experience manage life here. How they get a good job, and most of all, w...

quatroporte - Then I guess a newbie coming to Dubai can only dream about getting a descent job and salary here from now on. Guess people had to be here in the beggining to enjoy the fun. Or they should have some kind of wasta. I just need to tell you people about the lamest offer I got the other day...

Burken

St.Lucifer - You are right. Being patient is the key, I guess. The examples I gave was not about me. It's about people I know here and the adds I read on the papers looking for people like that. gtmash - I'm with you. Sweden is thousands times better than UAE, from what I've learned now. You are ver...

Does anybody know a place in Sharjah (also Dubai, IF Sharjah is impossible) where I can rent a car WITHOUT asking about holding the passport? As far as I know, and according to the embassy, it is illegal to hold a passport from anyone under any circumstances here in UAE. How come the places I've bee...

Burken

I thought the visa-system was a way of acting like not-a-tax-free-country. Didn't anyone know that?

Burken

Thank you all for all the tips!
