Hi guys, As of last month I have accepted employment as one of the ski instructors for the new snow dome in the Mall of the Emirates, accomodation is being built and provided for me however although I am incredibly excited about the prospect (I leave in August), I have seen nothing but how good it i...

SkierAL

hey guys, have email you nick great to hear from you both!!! will be out in mid august so long as i get my legalisation documents back from the embassy (been away for AGES!) cannot wait to get out there and see so much of what i heard been hearing!!!

SkierAL

will do, have spoken to nick which was cool - got some info that i needed. KC are you living in their accomodation or private? i understand its not even built yet!!!!

SkierAL

Hey guys, i'm hopefulyl making it over on the 15th August but will be severly depending on the internet to stay in contact with my family - I heard there is only one service provider for internet in Dubai, which is censored!? and that it costs a fortune for up to ISDN speeds? is this right!? Thankyo...

SkierAL

even that they severly censor the internet??

SkierAL

thanks nik i will look in to it, 190pcm sounds much better! ISDN is an age old technology its actually cheaper for them to stick with ADSL which is why iwas so suprised! i live in the country in england and run a basic 2mb connection.

SkierAL

i havent heard anything yet, im terrified its going to be crap accomodation! they have kept all this very quiet i have had very little to no information on anything other than an artists impression of what the dome may look like, according to nick however they havent even laid the snow down yet!!!

SkierAL

Riiiiiiiight....so ADSL is avaliable however the usage is censored.

SkierAL

thanks KC i will be making use of it, i spoke to caroline today and they have pushed back the departure dates until the 2nd september, devastated!

SkierAL

that's good advice, im guessing im going to be in the same boat KC!

Anyone know what the oppertunities as a journalist in the media are in Dubai, I am coming next month and already have a placement, my girlfriend is quite keen to look for jobs to see if she can move over with me - is there a decent media presense in dubai? Thanks everyone, love this forum i read it ...

SkierAL

im moving over next month, although i reakon with 20 other British ski instructors around im not going to gain the full cultural concept i had hoped for.

Have a look in Time Out magazine, in the back they have all the sports and where they are. Loads of KungFu and kickboxing as i remembr.

I have just joined a company and subsequently quit, they have completely butt raped me in regards to contractual agreement, I have had to pay (today in fact) just over a thousand pounds, 7000 dhs, in order to get out of contract. Two pieces of information I wish I had 2 months ago are. 1. Do NOT wor...

SkierAL

Have to be careful about what I say but.....yes, I was. Have found a great new job now anyway here in Media City, Dubai so things are picking up. Just cant emphasise - when your going for a job here with an arabic company you have to realise they basically own you, and they will treat you like they ...

SkierAL

Hey Danish, where abouts are you from? My best friend is from Aarhus, get over to Dubai though - its cooling off and there are tons of events piling up, going to be an awesome 6 months here!!

SkierAL

Its going to be great, I work for a company in Media City that requires me to attend night life events in Dubai, cannot wait until the end of ramadam! (nothing has happened this month!) So when are you coming out Miss Doha?

SkierAL

Not done one yet but i keep getting told that traffic is worse than horrific! and for a Dubain to say that it means something, im taking a few days off i reakon!

SkierAL

yea they will do, there should be some very famous faces attending events around january too.

SkierAL

No names yet lol, they seem to like keeping secrets like that.

SkierAL

no picture but make sure they know your origin.

The virus can be carried by anything, even a mosquito. A pet bird that contracts the virus would almost definatly come in to contact with humans - if the virus meets a human with a flu it will mutate and become an epidemic, will probably then kill a good percentage of this population.

Dubai Explorer?

Where booze flows and hookers are rife?....Nothing like any other city in the world then?!?!? Maybe you could go to J'Berg and get car jacked, or London and pay over 2000 Dhs a month for a 1 bed flat, or maybe you could go to New York and see the unemployment rates...yea Dubai is auful isnt it....I ...

SkierAL

Trust me, there is no crime. You spend 5 seconds away from your phone in London or New York and it's already being shipped to Beruit. This is bliss. There are no taxes, these speed cameras / expensive fees and high petrol costs (if you think petrol here is expensive) are all present in every other s...

SkierAL

Completely disagree. Accept your opinion.

SkierAL

.. so i think i know a thing or two about this place more than someone whos been here less than 3 months.. Point taken, however, I have lived in France, Switzerland, Italy and England over the last few years and now am starting to gain experience in Dubai...whereas you have only lived in Dubai, so ...

80 Dhs each way for a taxi from Shj to Sheikh Zayed. Hardly economical.
