No way!

Bun and all? still no way!

"one sitting" could be a long time!

Can anyone advise me wether it is legal or otherwise to "Home Brew" your own beer? It is all the rage in Aus at present and some good drops about as well. Sorry if this is a double post as the 1st one I did disappeared. Cheers Illegal and probably not worth the hassle even if you can get ...

You just need to check what blood tests have to be negative in order for you to be able to get a residency visa in the UAE. For sure HIV, Hep C, TB are not allowed but you must check about others including Hep B... If that is on the list, save your money for while you might be able to travel into Du...

WTF, these last 2 ^

must be too much sand in the air (or inside their skulls)!

I figured you already knew this: there are no "homeless dogs" just dogless homes.

Impossible to go for walks outside from May to October (24 hrs) specially with a todler. You would be limited to home or malls. Go to Sydney (although I hear it get very hot). No comparison Sydney is a city - Dubai is a construction site with mall and some ok hotels, overpriced rents and more overpr...

Hey All! A bit of a vague question for you so I'll do my best to narrow it down. Me, my wife, and 2 kiddies. One is 3.5 the other is 7 months. I have an offer on the table that seems decent. I won't get in the details of it. What I'm wondering about is cost of living. How much are groceries and tha...

Stay in Canada unless your "budget" is 1 million US dollars - seriously.

WOW! Concord, you're grumpier than ever! If you're that unhappy there I sincerely hope for your sake you can make out of there and to some place you want to be. It sucks being stuck where you don't want to be. Good luck mate! Who said I am unhappy there. Saying it is sh1t except.... has nothing to ...

Thanks. Is it really that bad ? We have already lived in Sydney and the heat is fine to walk in all year round. You just have to wear a hat and total sun block. We have accomodation with my wife's job at the Gardens. Can anyone enlighten me on their opinion of the Gardens. It's next to the Gardens ...

I've done a few "reports" previously so that fellow dubai travelers can get an idead (well, my perpective anyway). I spend some time in Latvia (Riga) recently, here is the report: Yes, not much there...Actually they have a nice "old town" and they have done a great job cleaning a...

I read some ***** up story in gulf news (well, most of their stories are ***** up unless lifted from AP or some othe newswire). This was a couple of days - someone please check.. In any event, I read about this Moroccon dude who opened a facebook page in the name of the King's brother... The poor **...

Ok i'm pretty new to dubai, been here for a month but was wondering where the best place to go for brunch is, somewhere where drinks are included would be good! Maybe around the marina/greens/jbr area? Any suggestions muchas appreciatas. There a loads of places for brunch all over Dubai - grab a co...

1. learn to play an instrument well (actually more like find more time to practice!)
2. retire early

For now in that order but prefer the reverse order!

If I were opinionated I would comment.

An eating contest might be a bad idea: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/7261888.stm A year or 2 ago a woman died after a drinking contest for a radio station (the liquid was water!). The DJ's screwed up as someone called into the radio station on the air and told them that it was dangerous and shou...

Somebody's got a keep an eye on them Russians

Mail order bride? I thought that was phillipines or thailand (that's what it looks like in the malls in Dubai) - but a thought!

I was wondering what people consider travel "essentials" these days. It used to be that one need to bring a toothbrush everywhere but nowadays most hotels can provide you with one, etc. I was booked at a hotel in Georgia (the country) and they had a 5ml package of shampoo (head and shoulde...

Do you pack too much, not enough or just right!

I've known people to travel for the weekend and bring a couple of suitcases, one for the shoes and the other for multiple outfits. And forget to pack underwear.

You know, we should have our own food forum... Anyway I suck at remembering names of restaurants so umm no diea. Or wait, La mode or something like that in Inter Con. There are a couple of thread about this in the Travel forum (recommended restaurants by DF members http://www.dubaiforums.com/viewto...

I don't know figures but here is what I think. People complaint no matte what. Whether a person wants a higher salary or a better place to live is relative. If the people you are employing have their families back home then they are probably willing to "sacrifice" and live in a less desira...

If you take a holiday during Ramadan where do you go? I want to go somewhere that isn't a Muslim country and somewhere warm. Any ideas? There are so many places. I would suggest USA but September (Ramadan) is quite rainy in the warm parts ot the country. But if you go to the north (NYC) it is still...

What's good about Dubai: 1. No snow 2. Sunny most of the time 3. Safe (crimewise) 4. Most things are available (almost 'first world" for the most part) 5. Airport has fligths to hundreds of locations 6. clean beaches (although not accessible yearround do to heat) 7. Sage & Onion lives here ...

harder to believe you posted that.

I think many people associate fine dining with "price" or "decour". Usually people that pay a lot of money for a meal feel obligated to say the food was "great" or "very good" lest they be thought of as fools for paying that kind of money for bad food - specia...
