:roll: The whole them against us thing is just boring. The points made show a lack of understanding of both Islam and Christianity. The amount someone follows their faith or their beliefs depends on them. Yes, I have Muslim,Christian and non-religious friends all who have varying ideolodies within t...
Liban- they stick tar-like goo under the underneath of the car. If you drive your car on the sand (and we do go into the water a bit) you need it-plus we are in a coastal area. So salt content in the sand and air is a prob.-chemistry and all. so are brakes optional also Hmmm... me thinks you are tak...
XRW-147- this is the whole point I guess in Dubai is that when you look for a place you have to actually take into account what time you will be travelling. :) Liban-Yeah, I realise that. But if you have a relatively decent allowance you can share and pay around DH35 000 per annum for rent (or appro...
btw i used to go to an australian pub in washington that would make burgers with an egg and pinneaple on them. i know it sounds weird and gross but it was really yummy !!! anyone know of any place in dubai i can get that ? Maaad- you need beetroot too!! :D Johnny Rockets is pretty good-there is one...
Just a question and not intended to upset anyone but what is this constant reference to Muslims speaking fluent Arabic? You do realise there are plenty of Muslims that don't speak fluent Arabic-surely that doesn't make them less of a Muslim? Just seems a little odd to me and bigoted.
Yes, I know that English is not the language of the world! But it has been said or implied a few times that Islam goes hand in hand with speaking Arabic and it plainly does not. It is not a comment that is supposed to irritate anyone, just an observation. This whole "thing" about locals getting pref...
Hi try www.expatwoman.com there is a list of schools on there with addresses etc and doing a search will help you know what peoples opinions are.
Cheers!!
So Liban-you need bigger thrills! Actually since space invaders disappeared I am not keen on games either but my kids like them! Ok for an hour but after that I've had enough-I prefer the beach.
Oh, come on guys!! Liban-you get terse very easily! I always tend to think that some topics are best left alone until we meet and we can all understand the tone of each others posts.
Arnie-I must show you the drive thru' photos Now there is something anyone could be proud of! Only in Dubai do you get the real thing withhout it being some doctored net photo!
Funny you brought that up-according to someone close to me, dying your hair was vain and thus she didn't. Wouldn't make-up constitute vanity as well then?
Great responses Liban and Shafique! :D It is funny as the person I am referring to actually used to pull out her grey hairs! :shock: Ouch-which I kinda saw as a contradiction and was also into Henna for the dyeing of nails (this was also more of a tradition amongst Malays). This makes me think of fe...
:lol: :lol: I don't know richmc! But I still know I am laughing about your cart tart story! :lol: :lol: Back to burgers! There is every fast food joint here you can imagine and almost everything delivers. Hardees are better than Maccas and Burger King (Hungry Jacks). You'll like shawarma (??spelling...
Geez- more Aussies than you can poke a stick at!! The Aussie burger was invented in my state -the beetroot was crinckle cut, as was the egg wobbly on the bottom-from memory- so not to fall off the burger ie friction. Don't ya love Physics!!
The Abaya and Dishdasha are more to do with the climate and tradtional dress than with Islam. Covering the nose and mouth is what you do in the desert! Actually that was my understanding. The other thing about the gold and silk intrigues me-it is a long time since I've seen wedding photos of friend...
