Hello, Dubai seems great to me, many people made me excited about the Golden City. Therefore I want to work and live for about 2 months in Dubai, see how it's like :) My question: What are the job opportunities for me, 21 years old, 1 year experience in the world of journalism? Also, what is the bes...

U want to have the ability to pay in Dubai right?

So, easy thing: get a VISA or Eurocard/Mastercard somewhere in your city, and no worries. With a VISA or Eurocard/Mastercard u can get money out of every money-automate in Dubai and probably pay in every store.

Hello all!

I hope u can help me with this one:

I'd like to know what recruitment agencies to visit for a job in Dubai in Communication/Journalism/Media.

Thanks for any answer!

Hilarious!!

Merry Xmas everyone

Heya,

I will be moving into an appartment in Jebel Ali Gardens next January

Any tips where to hang during my time off?

Hey! I'm moving to Jebel Ali Gardens next month

Sorry if this has been posted be4...

Just wondering, what are the average prices the Taxi a month (Going to work - going home = 30 mins driving in total)

From Jebel Ali Gardens to Dubai Media City... and back again of course...

Thank you Will have a look out for that bus, see what its like. 10-15 Dhs is kinda what i expected.

I want to buy a SIMcard in Dubai. I know Etisalat is the only one who's offering these. I will stay close to IBN Battuta Mall, can you buy a SIMcard there in some shop? And how much will it cost me?

Thanks & Happy 2006!

the only problem is when u get it from a shop an not directly from etisalat it might take up to 24hrs for it to be activated ..

So, how can I get it directly from Etisalat?

If you live near IBN Battuta mall you can get sim cards in Geant the large supermarket or any of the mobile shops. Yes you can make Intl calls, i have costed calling the UK at about 50p or 3.5Dhs per minute. And on Fridays all calls are half price. Thanks. I will have a look around IBN Battuta Mall...

Hey again everyone :) Sorry to be booming u with all these questions.. I have an Eurocard/Mastercard and a Worldcreditcard of my Bank in the Netherlands.

Oh, forgot to ask: What about US dollars? Is it good accepted? (in the taxi for example...)

Your best bet is to bring US Dollars and CHANGE THEM to Dirhams. I bloody hate hate hate being stuck behind someone at the shops paying in dollars it's a pain in the a*** takes forever as they have to exchange it all, work out the change in dirhams etc etc etc. But being dollars and then get yourse...

They do? Aii, thats nice

Btw, my roommate is assuming you CAN pay with US dollars.... Getting confused now... But i'll just see whats gonna happen

Same thing in Holland. I use my creditcard even for buying a bottle of water, hehe..

Probably a stupid question...

But, just wondering if the malls in Dubai have public copy machines?

U see, I want to copy my CV like 200 times. But, this extra weight I have to carry in my luggage, and cannot take along more than 23 kg, otherwise I have to pay extra

Allrite everyone, thanks once again!

Four... one to hold the bulb and three to turn the ceiling .

U mean: ''How many Belgians...''

What are the traffic jam periods each day ? (From when to when?)

So I guess that this also then means that all hotel bars will be open within the 40 day mourning period?

Wouldnt it be dramatic for Dubai's economy if they would stay closed?
