Hi guys,

I am new to Dubai and to martial arts as well, but I am keen to try it and see how it goes. Stupid question, but do you guys allow girls to join?

Njuner, Its not a problem walking at night. You won't get thrown in jail unless you are causing trouble ofcourse. You will need a car to pretty much get around everywhere. Taxis are pretty cheap and plentiful though. So try and utilize that if you don't get a car when you first get here. I am not su...

Why the age restriction?
Sadly I am over 18...

No, it doesn't mean that Dubai is perfect.

Maybe people are just getting tired of complaining all the time...

Dubai marina is a nice area. You will be using Du and they will accept employment letters. Most employers will know what to do if you just ask them. But if you have your visa ready and in your hand prior to arrival, it will make your life infinitely easier as most things you do will require a copy o...

Carrefour charges for delivery and assemble? :? Sorry mate, but you got ripped off if they charge you for delivery. We moved about 3 months ago and had everything delivered free of charge. Only had one delivery guy who tried to rip us off when he delivered our TV and asked for a "tip" beca...

Can anyone help me with locating some decent Asian food ingredients please?

I don't mean the soggy looking tofu in Spinneys either...

Much appreciated for any help.

abarawakijess

Thanks for the info. Really appreciate it.

Really miss my brother's Chinese cooking...

This might be a stupid question, but what about the other way round? say going from a non FZ company to a FZ company? would the ban apply then?

Many thanks

You know, I agree with Choco, give a straight up answer yes or no, not maybe, or if God is willing.

No offence meant as I respect different religions, but this word has been abused too many times by people who use the word because the task is too hard.

What about the rest of us that love it here, but cannot afford to live here because of the inflation and raising rate of rent? Its not so much " If you don't like it, then live somewhere else" because for some people it is not a viable option for one reason or another. No matter where you ...

Is it really better than back at home though? for some it might be the case no matter how bad the situation is. But for some, it might just be on par and they are attracted here due to the lure of the possibilities this place holds. The elite can afford all the luxuries that this place can provide, ...

Cause and effect...

The cause of this "sheet" is also possibly the person in front of you. Without the cause, there is no "sheet".

abarawakijess

Oh mate, I'd love to know where you hail from and move there, sounds like my kind of place

Alas, I work in customer service and do not have the luxury of such language.

You hear this kind of stuff on the news all the time. But I take taxi alot for my work as I presently do not have a car, but have never had any problems before. (Knock wood) The only problem I have faced is trying to get a taxi through the RTA number. Sometimes the taxis do not come and other times ...

You know, in all my time travelling on Dubai roads (which is not that long mind you), but I am yet to see a taxi involved in one accident. I see alot of the 4 wheel drives in accidents and in dodgy positions on the road though... Burken, please relax. Taxis here are great and most of them don't try ...

Some people have a warped sense of humour...

I am open to suggestions at the moment. Some people have suggested mall shopping, but I am a bit sick of shopping at the moment.

Is there anything fun going on in Dubai around this time? I mean apart from the usual stuff...

abarawakijess

Burken,
The official taxis have a sign on the top that says "Taxi" and the body of the car is painted a light beige/cream colour and they usually have Dubai taxi or Arabia taxi or something similar written on the body.

Good luck

Also ask for school fees if you have children. It makes a difference.

Hi, 1) yes, you can use an all-in-one controller. Don't ask me how, I have no idea, but we have one and it works perfectly. 2) Internet is a good idea, or if you use showtime, you can pick up a copy of the programmes from their kiosk dotted around the city. 3) Anything worth watching on TV? That's s...

I always like to watch the Grinch or Nightmare before Christmas... give me a new perspective on Christmas...

Think they are showing the whole Star Wars saga on Showtime on Christmas day if that's your thing... Stuffed full of food and wine, watching mindless action movies... stuff of heaven

abarawakijess

Whats the programme called? I'd like to watch something educational about the prophet if there is re-runs or if I can get it on DVD.

Please explain about the part where the people said the prophet would't stop... stop what?

I know it doesn't fin into their teachings, but what is wrong with having many Gods?

Cheers if you don't mind checking for me. Its always good to learn new things I think...

abarawakijess

I know that mate and you know that too. BUt my question is why? I know it doesn't fit into their teachings, but why not?

Or is this a redundant question?!?!

I like the Neurofen I have... its small, easy to swallow, taste like candy and works a treat.

Happy to share my 20 boxes worth Ian...

Looks like everyone is bored at work too...

I love Japanese food and have tried a few places around here. To be honest, I am a bit underwhelmed by it. Maybe I haven't been trying the right places. Don't recommend Yo sushi, once i went and found a piece of rotton fish on display... Wagamama is pretty good. Not authentic Japanese, but great for...

abarawakijess

Don't worry, I can't even quote... complete technophobe :oops: The sushi in question is on the revolving sushi belt along with all the other pieces so pretty sure it wasn't display only... The Wagamama in Oasis hotel serves alcohol as well There is a place in Crown plaza to shabu shabu?! Please tell...
