That is kind of unfortunate that it happenned just after a month. Can you go back to the company you worked for 5 years. Its sad but true that they don't have to give you a reason for termination. Thats what the probabtion is for. You had the same right if the situation was reversed. Good Luck

No you can not. Its a controlled drug and only avialable with doc's subscription. Do you have a sub. from back home? That will help the local doctor as they are extremely reluctant about prescribing controlled medications.

I hope your joking however I wouldn't be joking about this kind of stuff online. Below is an excerpt from my State Department's website; While in a foreign country, a U.S. citizen is subject to that country's laws and regulations, which sometimes differ significantly from those in the United States...

The story below is a classic example of on how wife beating is not only accepted but encouraged in this country. Its really sickening and there are multiple things that are wrong with this picture. 1. The asshole who claimed its his right to beat up his wife. What a coward!!! 2. 3000 D fine, give me...

All these appliances are available at Carrefour at very reasonable prices. They will deliver and install within 48 hours.

Forgot to mention, except for gas cylinders which you have to call any of the gas companies and they will deliver and install a new cylinder and hardware within an hour or two.

Thats not true. I live in a Nakheel development and no such clause at all. But he is right you better check with the management or ask your neighbors what they have.

I think it totallt depends on the facility you go to and what driver's license. The place I went to saw my US driver's license, didn't do any exam and filled out the form for me.

IMO, what a big mistake to opt for the allowance instead of actual accomodation if you had the choice.

From what I heard Arab women are really big on waxing and hair removal but they do it in the comfort of their homes. It may require some networking on your part. BTW I can use some Brazilian waxing on my ass

Lunar,
Getting a DL in Dubai was virtually painless wih my US DL and passport. Eye exam and a form filled out, all I needed. I assume it would be the same for Sharja.

Doesn't it depend onyour probabtion???. You can change job without any consequences during your probabtion.

You should be able to get a nice 1 BRM in JBR for 160k. JBR is probably one of the nicest areas in Duabi. However 2 BDRM is not hard to find for 160 k in decent communities like the Marina, JLT etc. Discovery Gardens is a brand new community next to Ibn Battuta Mall. 2 BDRMs are going for around 140k.

There are lots of indoor activities for kids, educational and recreational. Ice Skating, Indoor skiing/snowboarding, school summer camps etc etc. Don't worry that won't be your biggest problem. 780k pa should be good for a decent lifestyle. Let me if you have any specific questions. I've been here o...

Olympics are shown for free on Dubai Sports Channels 1 and 2. No 2 is in English.

K-Dog

Hey Canadiana,
Life could be a lot of fun depending on your pay. PM me with more details as far as where you job will be (what school) and how much they are offering you.

K-Dog

Ben,
Dubai Sports Channel 2 is available for free on Nilesat. Where do you live? If you live in a building check with them if they have a central dish.

K-Dog

I'm pretty sure buildings in Greens have centralised satellite system. In that case all you need is a decoder to get any free channels

K-Dog

I really don't see it working here. Its way too hot and uncomfortable to get out of your car, go inside the building, pay and then come back. In my country self service is the norm at gas stations except for 2 States, New Jersey and Oregon. In NJ its all about the Union Workers and in OR it rains a ...

Yes thats correct. Working on a visit visa is illegal. It is my understanding that it has always been illegal but just recently authorities started to clamp down.

K-Dog

Plus work permit should not take more than 3-5 days especially when your already here. Residence visa will follow.

To all my Filipino friends out there. What is your opinion on a recent newspaper story that a lot of Flipino men have second families in the UAE and Saudi Arabia even though its against religion. What are your thoughts? Is this a big epidemic? I'm just curious. What about Filipino girls here?

K-Dog

A simple analysis from a simple mind!!! Your a hopeless, pathetic loser. Go ahead, have the last word. I'm not a woman so I don't need to

First time I've heard the term "double barrelled name"

We've always called them "hyphenated names". Yes, I've seen them in Dubai.
