Selective retention?

Fire fingers, I'd like to see you out on the scaffolding / construction sites on 50 degrees days building 'your country' - good luck to you.

K, fully agree - dead thread. Access denied.

Overall a good hotel.

Like Maaad said, its like living in a mall. Think of KLCC in Malaysia but bigger and better - just no twin towers to tour.

On the corporate / convention side of things they are 100% crap. You have to chase them down every step of the way - even just to get function menus.

Most apartments in the marina have a decent sized balcony - keeping it clean is a different story. Most of the new buildings will have a balcony that stretches across at least one room, and some over several so you might be lucky to find one suitable to hold the great aussie bbq. Throw another shrim...

Yes, with like 5 cars on show.

Agree with mash - their lack of advertising and presence is pretty dismal in comparison with their marketing / presence in other countries.

Nice chop.

As for the "shrimp on the bar-b", I'd prefer prawns any day. The ones that we call prawns back in Aust are called shrimps here :D Also, about your point on negotiating. You will find most decently priced places will be snapped up rather quick so often the negotiable part is the number of ...

Nice of you to share your thoughts X.

Why do you respond to sarcasm with sense?

Are the two intertwined?

Sarcasm in itself is a method of logical discussion, and the only appropriate way to deal with it is either to ignore it or go with the flow. Either response is deserved. I have been told that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, but I think that was by someone who just didn't get it. Only 2 cultures...

I thought we're meant to be asking the questions?

I think the recent estimates suggested out of the 1.3M population about 900,000 are ex-pats! such lucky people these expects...how I sooo wish I was living there.... Mate, if you are handy with a broom and can live off 300 pounds per month you too can join the growing Dubai "expat" commun...

The new outbacks are not too chunky, just a little bigger than the libertys. Both the outback and forrester are available here though.

So he works, has a flat and goes to the gym - what a social butterfly.
