The first company I worked for it took 4 months, the second 3 months, then when I transfered onto my fathers visa it took 2 weeks.

These loads of them, however many of the Lebanese living in the UAE, are unlike those actually living in Lebanon, there they are friendly, down to earth and really nice. In the UAE many have become spoilt, money obessed skirt chasing loonies, hence the term 'Lebansleazy'!

Sadly Concord apart from the Americans I know who're open minded, the majority still show their ignorance.

Haven't you seen that video on you tube? Pffff

Hahahaha - I rest my case - dollards!

Chocoholic

I think that's really sad. Have you noticed, they can't just be Lebanese anymore, they always have to be Lebanese/something.

Chocoholic

Nah I blame George Bush too - loser! Also text shorthand has a lot to answer for, damn mobile phones.

Chocoholic

Stop moaning for goodness, sake, wash and iron you own damn shirts, really it's not that hard, and actually quite theraputic.

Chocoholic

Well just shows you doesn't it! They spend millions on construction and forget small things like roa camber and drainage, this happens EVERY year people, you'd think they'd consider it now. Also shows how crap some of the construction is, the brand new Emirates staff building - not occupied yet - co...

I'm heading to Rock Bottom or karaoke and Bull Frogs - yeah baby!

Chocoholic

Arabian Ranches has a riding school up there.

Nice! Live everyday as though it's your last!

Try the Dubai Community Centre on Beach Road, they have really nice therapists and councellors.

There is no indication of there being a slump in prices anytime soon. It all depends where you buy, where it is from the master developer and what sort of deal you can get. There are some amazing developments out there and people who invested in them early will be laughing, but some developemtns are...

Boycott these places! The way they treat their animals is

ing! The poor horses are outside in the sun all day long, with no water! They have puppies crammed into cages and many of them are sick and in need of veterinary care - these people make me sick!!!

Chocoholic

Weel as I'm dabbling in the property market on both sides now and from my current experience there is no shortage of overseas investors, and residents are seeing buying as a better option because of rental increases.

Like I said it depends on where you buy, you have to invest smart.

Chocoholic

It really depends on what you're buying for, to live in or to rent out. Take a development like Sport City in Dubai Land, that is going to be the hub of all sporting events and concerts in the near future and there ar only 3 hotels in the development, so there is opportunity for short term leases as...

Chocoholic

Yes I did invest there. And there are 3 hotels not 2, The Cube, another independent one and one built and run by the master developers. Any other hotels will be condo apartments or serviced apartments. Sport City is a great project, with lots of potential. Thanks Arnie, but I already have my own con...

Chocoholic

We've had this question before.

The simplest answer is of course the egg. Egg laying reptiles were around long before any chicken ever was.

Chocoholic

Arnie, I beg to differ seeing as I was working for BMG the developers of the Cube! It's a reputable German company. It's a 5 star hotel! Individual investors buy the apartments and the builing runs as a hotel by an independent operator, the investors take a share of the profits made by the hotel. It...

Chocoholic

The 2 hotels mentioned on the Sport City website will be product of the master developer, hence no mention of the others, of which there is only 1 - The Cube. And am I not allowed to change my opinion? Alot has changed in the last 3 years, I've done alot of research an have a friend who works in pro...

Chocoholic

I really don't recommend anyone download an .exe file and run it from an unqualified source. I downloaded it and virus scanned it, and no virus was found, but that doesn't rule out that it could be malicious software. The only formats online books can be trusted in are .CHF or .PDF formats. Everyth...

Chocoholic

Not really, in terms of evolution the animals that would eventually become chickens, evolved over time becoming chicken like until one day an egg hatched a chicken, could have been a mutation, that's the way evolution makes big leaps. It's a stupid question. Most reptiles lay eggs, always have done,...

Chocoholic

St. L erm it's quite sad that you atually looked up that old thread. And yes I am consistant in my feeling on the chicken and egg question which again is just stupid.

Chocoholic

Love knows no bounds - religion should not play a part in it.

Chocoholic

Arnie, it's not a time share! There will be an appointed operator who runs the building as a hotel, what isn't there to understand about that? The investors don't get involved with the running of the place whatsoever. I'm well aware that it's called 'Condo residence' having WORKED FOR BMG, dealing w...

Chocoholic

The company has to cancel the visa for you. Or even better, why don't you put the PRO's of the two companies together and just get them to do a visa transfer, much less hassle. Then they can sort out all the details between themselves.

Chocoholic

Unfortunately many people still work a 6 day week, often 7 days some weeks, it's just the way it works here and depends what industry you're in.

Chocoholic

Blue bar in the Novotel have Jazz nights.

Also believe it or not Chi club are now running Psy-trance nights every now and again and they're brilliant with drinks only 11 Dhs all night - beat that!!! Will let you know when the next one is.

Chocoholic

The next trance night at Chi is this week, weds 27th. Only just found out about it, so sorry for the short notice.
