Booze is the cause of most stupid actions. You get a big fine now if you're caught with a fake ID.

Well the cheapest place is still International City or getting a room in a villa.

But yeah you won't really get anything in your price range.

Chocoholic

Well I'm here and Sage occassionally drops by, but the reast have all but disappeared.

THe legal tint is 30%, they'll fail you for having 70% straight off.

And IMHO you're a fool for havingf that much tint in the first place! HOw can you possibly see through that?!

Yes police sirens and what not will be illegal to have.

Chocoholic

First off you will have a difficult time finding any decent job without qualifications.

Dubai is what you make it, search around the forum as there are answers to all your questions in other threads.

Chocoholic

Oh lighten up already! Only 25?! There are lots of people far older than you who haven't found that special 'someone' and some might never. But it doesn't mean you're alone. Friends are just as important. If you going searching for it, you're never going to find it. Enjoy your single life. Relations...

What do you mean 'the noise from the airport was horrendous'? I live in Mirdiff, directly under the flight path, but I don't even notice the planes anymore. It's something that you get used to, what do you think people living around Heathrow and Gatwick do? Sharjah? Blurgh the place wants bombing, i...

Chocoholic

Nope you don't have to do a thing. You don't notify them at all. So long as you still have money going into the account to pay the bills, they won't question it.

The only time you'd have to sort everything out, is if and when you finally leave the UAE for good.

Chocoholic

As her husband you can sponsor her. Ask your company how this works.

Don't hold your breath over getting your drivers licence. Sorry but it takes forever here.

Chocoholic

OMG - well with a crappy attitude like that I don't expect you to get anywhere - I certainly wouldn't employ you! You totally have the wrong idea, wrong perception. Clearly all you've read about the place is what you read in the media. If all you can do is be rude and nasty to someone that was helpi...

Chocoholic

Er that'll be COLLEGE safety tips then! Not how to stay safe creating a montage gluing pictures together - teehee

Chocoholic

Best thing is look around when you get here. Look on www.dubizzle.com villa and apartment shares are always being advertised on there.

Chocoholic

Lighten up would you! I only like football when it's the Euro cup or the World Cup, then it gets really interesting.

Stop having a sense of humour by-pass.

Chocoholic

THe US is less hypocritic?! I really don't think so. Do a little research on that and have your eyes opened. The US and their leaders are probably responsible for many issues in other countries today.

Chocoholic

ESPN is available on some of the satellite carriers, but you have to pay extra subscriptions for it.

You can watch ESPN through the net as well.

Chocoholic

Wow - that's a serious amount of travelling you have there. Um to be honest really not sure with regard to visas. THe place where you study should be able to help you.

Chocoholic

Sorry but why would you have a k=monkey as a pet? They belong in the wild, not in a house. You don't keep animals like that as pets, it's cruel, unnatural and sorry to say but I have complete and utter contempt for anyone that would keep 'wild' animals as pets.

Chocoholic

To be honest I just use the HSBC standing order thingy to send my money home. You can do it through the money changers, but you'll be constantly watching the exchange rates.

Chocoholic

I think what you're doing is fantastic. Keep up the good work.

Chocoholic

Bonk, that's only if you're concelling your visa and leaving for good. Can you imagine if you had to do that everytime you changed jobs? Nope you don't have to do anything. I've changed jobs 3 times and had visas cancelled and transferred, and I had car loans, credit cards etc etc. They don't get in...

Chocoholic

They have just changed all the visa regulations. You can come in on a visit visa, however if you find a job, you will have to go back to your home country and wait for the work/residency visa to be ready, then come back in on that.

Chocoholic

Bonk, as far as I am aware you cannot do visa renewals through Oman anymore, that stands for everyone pretty much. The 34 countries that can still get visit visa on arrival, can still not transer from visit visa to residence. You have to travel out the country, now where you have to go to is another...

Chocoholic

As soon as I log in it goes back to the old format, not sure what's going on.

Chocoholic

Dude, we've pretty much told you what the options are, now you need to go look. Get a hotel room for a week when you arrive and look around. Infact your company should actually provide you with accomodation for 30 days to enable you to find a place.

Chocoholic

I hate to say it, but they're all very similar.

Chocoholic

No idea the new rules are so confusing. BEst call the immigration department.

Chocoholic

Not all your images are showing up and your messages are so wide, it's gone off the screen.

Chocoholic

er no! The company should pay for that! Make them!

Chocoholic

I have to agree, does it really matter? Most people unless they know these nationalities very well, just wont know the difference.

Chocoholic

I was very very sad to read that story and it's appalling.

Reading the UK papers online at the moment, there's practically a youngster knifed to death every single day - and for what? Nothing basically.

The UK is in a terrible state. Bring back national service is what I say.
