How does one get fro Aqaba to Petra? Tour bus, taxi, drive, etc. What's the recommended option? As i said you can fly directly from Dubai to Aqaba and then take a taxi to Petra. If you fly into Amman then you can either take a bus from Amman (called Jet bus) or a taxi. I personally rented a car sin...

yes but you pretty much have to be local to get a piece of the action

the best real estate agents in AD are the building watchmen .. trust me !

Last time on MSN you told me you were staying in Glendale right? Pretty nice place too... You'll just want to stay away from Dowtown L.A. except if you want to check out the USC campus which is quite nice. Just don't get lost there at night or that might very well be the last time we hear from you ...

Santa Barbara is about 1 hour north. Beautiful town great view from the hills. Go midday so there will be no trafffic (although as you may know LA and Dubai have traffic jams in common). Depending on how much time you have you may want to go to Hearst Castle which is in St. Simion (abut 4.5 hours f...

damnn this is sad.. god bless his soul ..

hahaha i done that before, and she would start pressing the keys on the phone to wake me up ... oops !

Like ?? The benefit is with existing internet connection, you can speak for long with folks abroad + a factor of making a SIP / VOIP Community. you can do that with Skype, Yahoo talk, MSN voice chat , etc..... i dont see why you want to buid your own infrastrucutre when its already available and fr...

Etisalat has them, but if i understand correctly they are only for corporate accounts and you cant buy them like that. But i am not sure so i would give them a call or check out the site for more info. www.etisalat.ae

wow shehi tribe......can u tell me more abt them dear?

you wanna know more about them ? look up the last names of the sept 11 hijackers

Sara i just wanted to point out that your PhD doesnt have to be a waste. You can actually work in marketing or business side of things for a pharamcutical company for example or a chemical plant or whatever .. this way you would be in the field you love and still using your technical ability ..

yes i agree, any employer who is serious about hiring you will fly you out to canada. Another option would be to gather all the companies you want to interview with and then go to canada for a couple of weeks and meet them all.

best of luck !

dont start assuming things, she might have run away too. We dont know anything right now. Eitherway i hope she shows up safe and sound.

you are a sissy. who cries from a song ?

No probs, happy to help! We also usually recommend the Dubai Explorer (10th edition is out, but 11th is coming) book to newbies to Dubai, and also the search function on this site to help wade through all the topics to find answers to any questions you have that might have been covered before. haha...

or six or seven ?

You will be safe dont worry about it, but as everyone said if your budget allows i would move to another area. Ibis next to the world trade center is a good cheap option and its in a good area.

There's no need to be rude about it, but if you must know I work very closely with the record companies in the UAE and obviously downloading is a big concern for them. Also the EMRS will be implementing and enforcing copyright laws here in the coming months, so yes it will affect you if you are dow...
