That is drug abuse by custom officials. Should not throw things...

Anyways, Went to Benihana with some friends (licence won out). The food was ok although I have a suspicion one of my friends did not enjoy her food but was too polite to say so (I think). I always ignore the "decor' at a restaurant as food should take precedence but at this place the sitting ar...

Welcome Back. How was Vaca?

Vacation was interesting,

On the first day I got sick as a dawg, lost my passport, missed a flight and left stuff at the hotel…

Had a great time!

On my way to Thailand (Bankok) for 9 days first week in January, as usual, without a plan - just a hotel room for the first 2 nights. Any suggestions, etc. Thanks in advance. Still waiting for you to post your experience. Was the airline ok? Food ok? How do you like the traffic? etc .. Sorry, Give ...

Ok Babydoll, leave me alone. So on the first day I got sick as a dawg, lost my passport then missed a flight and forgot stuff inside the hotel room. I also saw quite a shocking sight – 3 times. Other than that the trip was great. It helps to have a knowreachable guide to make the stay totarry worth ...

Way over the top I think.

Looks like you got quite a lot packed in in a short period of time. Well planned .. Dont think I will be that adventurous on my trip. It would evolve hotel, massage, eat, shop (for me it will be waiting for the others to do their shopping!), massage, hotel, eat shop - you get the drill. I am certai...

Neat.. Very nice read. I missed something..What was that shocking sight ? On three occassion there were beggars at the market who were burned almost to a state of non-recognition (no hair, no ears, no nose just one eye, horrible, horrible sight). One of them was a child of no more than 12 years of ...

Hello, I am Syrian and living in the US currently and I was wondering if there are a lot of young Syrians/Lebanese working/living in Dubai currently. One of the things I would like about living in Dubai is to interact more with people from my culture since Dubai is closer to the ME and there are pr...

I'm not from these parts but I've never seen this much rain anywhere!

Apologies if this has been answered before - I've been unable to find the answer by searching... I am wondering if anyone knows the likely time it takes to process a residency visa, from the time of arrival in Dubai on an employment visa. Many thanks This depends on your Company really. That is, ho...

How's that? I am seeing the rain fall from the sky

now u need to buy heater for ur dogs

yes, next fundraiser. which reminds me that you did not contribute to the last fundraiser.

The only advice I can give you is to note that "HP" is not a Gynecologist, repeat, NOT.

Concs you must have missed the rain on the first week that La Riviera tower opened. It rained so much one morning it over filled the rooftop pool and the top 3 floors/appartments got totally flooded and blew all the electrics in the building. Yeah, and they did not open the pool for months. It was ...

How can one person be so F()*$#)@*$)$ noisy!!!! The person who lives in the apartment above me walks like an elephant, shouts when he talks, and doesn't get to bed until the wee small hours. Time to do something about it. That's is the most annoying fcking thing ever! I used to live in an appartmen...

Yes, but it is a 13-1/2 hour flight away.


Use camel instead. should be easy.

Just knock on his door and tell him that you will be having a party soon and want to warn him that there might be noise. Depending of who he is he might be interested in attending the party and you can find out a bit about who he is, who lives there, etc. You might get lucky and it is someone sublet...

Ain't it Australia day soon?

What's with the Prison Sink?

The whole thing seems a bit "limp wristed" to me.

Actually it looks like HP was on the way to audition for the vacancy left by Marcel Marceau

Any DF member running it?

Canadian Guy, time for me to chime in. 30K AED per month is plenty for a QS with that experience. Frankly QS' are a dime-a-dozen in this town and most of them are clueless...All they really know if 4th grade math and how to calculate area and volume on simple geometric shapes (ok, 5th grade for that...
