Dubai Forums

Hi bigdave, I'm an American moved here about 7 months ago. I am also working at Palm Jebel Ali. I live in Jumeriah Lakes Towers and my commute is about 25 minutes each way with normal traffic. With a Villa in Springs/Meadows your wife's commute shouldn't take more than that. There are many schools w...

Of course the landlord wants the fair market rent for his property after 3 years of cap. 85k for 1 bdrm doesn't sound too bad.

I moved here from Vegas about 7 months ago. I have 4 and 2 year old. There are many pros and cons. I'll describe them from my perspective for a relatively short period of time. Pros; 1. A tax free salary. More disposable income on hand. 2. Kids going to private American school, couldn't afford it in...

Well your question is too broad and kinna dumb. First of all what kind of property? residential (apartment, house), commercial, land? Secondly both of these States are huge. In Stockton (central Cali) you can buy a house for 1/5 th of the price of that of LA or San Fran. Thirdly you have to be a res...

SBC is my all time favorite. Although the quality here is not quite the same as the US

Jerking off often may be the best way for these boys.

You degree or lack thereof has nothing to do with getting your resident visa. It all has to do with your job classification. I mean unskilled laborers have resident visas.

How big is your family and what nationality are you? If your a single guy, this is a good offer. The biggest expense in Dubai is housing and children's tuition.

Dear Puppypup, Let’s calm down and retract our anger... K-Dog's playing basic childhood psychology 101 by touching your sensitivities by calling you a certain south East Asian race that you very clearly dislike being associated with. You could have ended this in the first instance by not reacting a...

Out of curiosity: 1. How long have you been here? 2. How long did you plan to spend here? 3. Has the crunch and cost of living here changed your circumstances? 1. 9 months 2. 2-5 years 3. They have changed my circumstances back home. I have a negative mortgage/equity on my home in the US. It sucks ...

K-dog and fakhdo. Thanks for the replys. I am single with no children, but do have a partner who will join me in Dubai a few weeks after I settle down. She will arrive on a visit visa before hopefully finding work in Dubai. The job offer does include medical and some dental care. Other information ...

is there anyother word more apoligising than sorry? actually, my mate's car was double parked with hazard lights on,at the entrance of the apartment, and I was talking with some of my other mates while he was inside to meet someone, and then a car came behind and honked, I went to pull out but, the...

you are a dude not a bloke...

hahahahahaahhaaaaaaa

You got that right

are english not there in the states? :? :? :? :? :? :? Never heard of a bloke though. I busted out laughing. I did have a friend from London back home but really thats why I like Dubai. You meet people from all over the world on a daily basis. The only time I used the word mate was for class mates.

I'm totally with you on Moron. Party on Vince

I agree with you. Rudeness doesn't have a race. You'll find pricks in every country and every society. However there are certain behaviors and attitudes that are attributed to certain nationalities. Thats how we come up with stereotypes. Psychologists say that we are a product of our surroundings an...

Hey Jones. I'm surprised to know that in this day and age somebody is snail mailing christmas cards. It may've already been a little too late for you. I beleive there is a Post Office in the Media City. There is one in JA FZ which I've used a couple of times. Here is a list of Post offices in Dubai....

Not a good time to buy anywhere. Prices are still going down and we haven't hit the bottom yet. Although you could get a smoking deal on a bank owned property. When banks take over a property after foreclosure they are anxious to dump it asap. They are not in a business of woing houses. Friend of mi...

I not only disapprove his actions I'm for putting his ass in jail forever. How dare he insult our President? Keep in mind that I'm a Democrat and hate Bush and the whole Republican Party. In my opinion Bush is a criminal for all the illegal stuff he has done over the last 8 years. I'm all for prosec...

When did you move from Springfield? Doh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UK driver's license is allowed to get the USE license but your passoprt must match your license. So in your case the answer is No. Not without taking classes

why still these people give them?

Yes Rudy or should I call you Sarah Palin?

Yeah, thanks Sharfraz (you sound like my Dad!). Swerving to avoid being part of a bigger accident was the natural response, and yes brakes, mirrors were used, and my car was in control. Not hazard lights though, I only ever use them in fog, when it rains, when I am going at speed, and for any other...

Nothing.
If the employee doesn't like it he/she can leave. Personally I wouldn't wanna work for a dishonest company and who is trying to screw over employees anyway

No for mentioning, "drill baby drill"

It was a reference to the latest Presidential campaign. You obviously didn't follow it. Not that I expected you to follow it. Sorry.

Just certain brands Captain. Nothing American about them. However, we do call them turn signals instead of indicators
