Actually they're being shut down all over the world.

And all the fuss is that the animals don't survive in captivity, plus Dubai can't even look after the animals already here in the zoo, which is a total disgrace.

Dubai can't possibly continue to grow at the current rate, at the momentit still lacks a basic infrastructure for any problems i.e. the blackout.

Women tend to live longer than men and reach their sexual peak in their late 20's early 30's whilst guys peak at around 18 so sorry blokes it only makes sense for girls to go out with younger guys! I've always dated younger men, for some reason I just seem to attract them, but for the first time I'm...

In which country is the marriage registered? I was of the understanding that in the UK and across Europe after 2 years of official separation that either party cannot contest to a divorce. He could divorce her anyway and she can't say anything, put it under the thing or irreconsilable differences. S...

Scarlet's and Zinc, oh purlease do us a favour, it's full of chav's most of the time, but having said that many Emirates crew hang out there loads. It's fine to go out on your own, but I would say never let someone give you a drink a couple of my mates have had spiked drinks and it's not good, troub...

Clothes here are appalling!

It's either all really boring run of the mill stuff or complete over the top rubbish that only dodgy Lebanese people would wear. Dubai has zero fashion sense.

Thank goodness for cheap material shops and tailors so you can make things of your own.

Hello Mia, Unfortunately yes they can get into a lot of trouble. Dubai and the UAE is a Muslim country and therefore abides by Sharia law. A couple may not live together out of wedlock, although the authorities turn a blind eye to western expats and many peole live with their girlfriends/boyfriends ...

Dubai Marina? Now! Oh excellent, come and stay in a building site for a weekend!

Hey Jeremy,

It's very sad to say that there is a lot of racism in Dubai and I hate it!

But matey, you've got a wicked job by the sounds of things, don't let people give you crap, stick to your guns, things I hope will change.

Good Luck

Hey Dude, Well apparently you can purchase properties in Dubai - do not get a mortgage here! The amount the want up front, you might as well buy the thing out right. Problem is I think alot of people are not buying because of two reasons: 1. According to the constitution, it is still not possible fo...

That's awful, I'd have called the guys bluff and let him call the police and have him done for harrassment and slander.

Good Pic Sniper, I think you'll find that's super model Naomi Cambell not sure who the bloke is though, looks a little bit like Wesley Snipes.

Very true Nik, there are many lonely people, so many of my girlfriends are always complaning about the lack of genuine, sincere guys around here! Personally I've found the best way to meet people is through friends and their wider circle of friends, that's how I met my last two boyf's here. Nice env...

Dude, you've hit the nail on the head with your last question "What's the point of killing other Muslims?" There is no point, these people rant and rave about uniting their 'Muslim brothers' but at the end of the day they are fully prepared to kill them at the same time. These people do not discimin...

Ah the old end of the world discussion rears it;s ugly head, yes true the Bible and Koran talk of it, Nostradamus (?) has predicted it, he also predicted Hitler, Saddam Hussein and other things, smart philosopher guy. But if all was to be believed, several dates when the world should have ended have...

Ok OK, just look in the out and about pages of Ahlan and othe mags each week for horrid fashion statments. Personally I find it really hard to find clothes that fit properly, I'm always having to get things adjusted, will shops please pick a size standard and stick to it, I mean to be a (UK) size 6 ...

Don't know of any in Dubai, most of the people used for voiceovers come from the UK, US, Australia etc and they send audio via MP3 or ISDN. It's not really something anyone can just do, even if people tell you 'You have a nice voice' it takes experience and practise to do it professionally. Check ou...

Scariest person I've ever met was R&B singer Houston - What a nut job!

An hour to live? run around nude an annoy people.

Stupidest accident you've ever had?

Hey, It takes a while to get used to Dubai. The rents are pretty high and getting higher, the cost of living is going up, but it's still much cheaper than other places to live. There's lots of places to go out and have fun and it's not that conservative. Most people are nice, but can be superficial ...

Chocoholic

No dude, that's the gardens, to get to the greens you have to go even further, you go all the way down to the Jebel Ali free zone and get off at the turning for the port and free zone then go left over the fly over, keep going till you hit a massive round a bout, and you'll see a massive sign for th...

To be honest as I keep driving round there looking at how fast it's all going up, really makes me wonder how good the build quality is. Plus many of the buildings are far too close together, with some having 3 sides of the building looking in on others, so no light, looking straight into someone els...

Just because someone is not religious, does not mean they're a bad person or committing any sins or crimes, and you can be a good person without being religious. Personally I can't stand people who find it necessary to enforce their beliefs on other people. And no offence but all the En Shalla stuff...

I question everything!

Chocoholic

I'm perfectly happy in myself and my beliefs, I treat others with kindness and respect and I try to live a good life, which we should all do anyway. But I find that many institutions are hypocritical with regard to money, corruption and twisting things for unworthy benefits. I didn't say that I don'...

Yes like I said the GREENS COMMUNITY, is just a left turn at the Jebel Ali free zone and port, you go through an investment partk - doh I was there visiting a mate last week, it's the easiest way to go.

Chocoholic

The map for the Greens you've posted there is not the same one - damn confusing, calling two areas virtually the same.

No one is asking you to question your faith, everyone has the right to take which ever path they choose. I think the philosophies of Buddhists are very interesting, they're much older than Christianity and Islam, there were many extraodinary things about the life of the first Buddha and he reached e...

Oh that's really horrible. The BBC recently aired a really interesting documentary following the development of a baby, and they used new techniques to capture 3D images of it's growth, it was truly incredible. At around 12 weeks the foetus is perfectly formed and practices breathing, crying, suckin...

I think the term "Ignorance is bliss!" is valid here. The UAE has come under fire recently because of the amount of censorship and the amount of things the local press and media are not allowed to release. But if you knew everything, would we all not become totally paranoid? Look at the drive by sho...

Chocoholic

Agreed, but what if a pregnancy is indangering the life of the mother? Would you be willing to lose both lives? Unfortunately Liban it's never as cut and dried as that! What if the baby is horrifically deformed and will endure a life of suffering? You have to look at all aspects, and I would hope th...
