You guys can tell the difference Water is supposed to be tasteless and odorless.

I just buy whatever is within reach.

Unfortunately, i couldn't find my community back home, why is that? Is google earth accurate?

Thats because you should be looking in Google Mars.

NO, I can look it up in pluto! You two... :evil: When can I get proper answer? :( I spent most of my day today looking and searching some places, buildings, tourists spots, and not working. :P How come i can't access my community? Is there any restrictions or whatsoever? You mean you just discovere...

Can someone please teach Babydoll how to use the "quote" function. I'm too tired and injured (hurt myself last night) to do it.

Hi all, My girlfriend is planning on coming to Dubai and as with everyone else who comes, is looking for a job. She's just graduated from St. Xaviers College in Bombay and has no professional work experience, making the hunt that much harder. However, I know that here on DF there are lots of great ...

I heard a bit of a programme on an Indian radio channel about this Gems place in Dubai where they do some kind of scientific analysis of a person and recommend gems that a person should wear to solve issues such as stress and the like. I am a big time sceptic and curiosity has got the better of me ...

Good luck.

hi ... ok first off, the search didn't get me any relevant results...so here goes. i have a friend who was offered a job in dubai, he accepted the offer and his visa (EMPLOYMENT II) was issued by the company in december 06 (allowed to enter until end jan 07) but he didnt join as the company changed...

So there is no way of getting a Dubai driving license with a Sharjah work permit? I'm I missing anything? What difference does it make which Emirate issues your license? It is still an UAE license and you have to comply with the traffic laws (well, in theory anyway) wherever you drive. If I am not ...

None of that. Just Gonu and HP till now.

i'd like to see casinos

Casinos are coming! Bet you the farm on that.

But it seems to me that the best solution is to pay the old company to "solve the problem" - so long as it is a reasonable amount. ........ The old company can give you a hard type regardless of the "technicalities". thanks for the info... This guy has already paid close to 1000...

On what basis?

Double post

Hi, we are looking to branch out our company into Dubai. We are london based and offer high-quality training on core business competencies e.g problem solving, creatvity, communication, structured thinking etc. We work with UK organmisations and universities. What is the market like in Dubai for th...

I know that and said it in my post. I was refering to the amount 5K to 6K (gmash gave some explanation after).

If you don't qualify to sponsor your husband (or during the application process) he can come on a tourist visa and look for a job on his own as I would imagine he would seek employment even if he entered the UAE on your sponsorship.

It is certainly going to mess up some of the roads in Dubai, I can't see it being that great a move... but you know... maybe they know something we don't. I don't think they know. There is even some dispute between RTA and the Police regarding Salik? It's a bad idea with the present infrastructure ...

It's a bad idea with the present infrastructure - 8 dirhams a day wont be a deterant for most people = 160 dirhams per month. 8 dirhams? Try 16 Dirhams or more for a lot of people - or more likely the majority of people. You are right I forgot the Deira/sharjah to Jebel Ali journey that a lot of pe...

Hi everyone, I was wondering if people could post any information on realestate agents they have used. There are so many to choose from and lots of bad stories as well! Was hoping people could post comments about positive experiences thay have had. Thanks, Bert Most of them are crap. It's simply a ...

I will only use Salik when on my mustang. That car to be known as "mustang salik'.

why no Africans, Americans, Australians, Arabs, Canadians, Japanese, Chinese, Indians, New Zelanders, South American, etc.?

I will only use Salik when on my mustang. That car to be known as "mustang salik'. You could record a parody song "Must I salik!" "All you wanna do is fine, Salik fine." "All you wanna do ... if fine, Salik fine." I'm afraid of using the word "fine" in t...

Ian is right don't listen to Sage on this one. The only thing I would do differently is to go thru the immigration counter at the Dubai airport separatedly (don't give both passports at same time) - how will he/she know you are together? You will be fine and there are many, many, couples doing the s...

Where can I get a part-time driver? Is it legal to hire one on a monthly-basis? Help! What do you need a driver for? Be on call 24 hours? Drive you to and from work? Drive you 9 to 5?

I'm starting to think Sage has never ever been to Dubai.... Sharjah maybe, but not Dubai.

Sharjah? I was thinking Taliban's Kabul.

in practical terms the "yes, it's okay" answer is also correct from a realistic "this is what happens in dubai all the time" perspective. while we know that this happens all the time and in 99.9% of the situations nothing would happen to anyone "shacking up" there is s...

So the toll will run 24hr right... what kind of traffic on Garhoud at 3am?
I had to buy the 'sucka kit' for 100Dhs as well. 700,000 registered vehicles in Dubai x 100 = 7mil and it did not start yet!

How about 70,000,000 Million (you wer off by 63M)!
