Hi all! :-) I will be moving to Dubai in three weeks and I have a question regarding internet-access. I know that it is only possible to access the net via a proxy-server... but how about internet-telephone software like skype (http://www.skype.net). Is it possible to use such software? Another ques...

Hi again! :-) I have one more question regarding Labour Law in UAE. My girl-friend will have a probation period of six months. Can she (like the employer) also quit within the first six months without obtaining a ban? I could sponsor her in that case because we are going to marry in the UAE, but cou...

Hi Yshimi!

I told you already in another thread

No, you don't have to pay taxes in Germany if you don't reside in Germany.

Cheers,
Ben

Thank you man, sorry if being annoyed, just making sure. I never lived in Germany so don't know the procedures and feard that i might be breaking the law while not knowing it. Thank you No problem... I'm not annoyed :-) Dont worry about the tax stuff.... I am sure about that because I had the same ...

It is crazy that they cancel everything. I understand, that a great leader has died and this is indeed very sad. But all the tourists and also the expats are now suffering, and the tourists that came here for the DSF will definetely not come again. I wouldn't travel to Dubai any more either if I was...

Regarding Liban's posting, calling people heartless that don't agree to the cancellation of all festivals (and not only festivals - see further below) is not worth a comment. Everyone has his own way of mourning. In my opinion it does not really need a government to restrict certain activities. Well...

Hi there! Do you guys have the same problems? Lousy internet connection (ADSL what they call Al Shamil.. I would rather call it 'A Shame') drops every now and then and is then sometimes not available for minutes. Today I got disconnected about 7-8 times in 30 minutes. Same quality are the telephone ...

bschmidt

Oh, you are so lucky!
Maybe thats because I am in SHJ?

Well I must admit, most of the time the internet access is quite ok and quite fast. If only these disconnections would stop...

Phone line is close to excellent I can really not agree on that... Maybe it depends on where you are calling? Once, I phoned someone in Germany and suddenly I could not hear the person that I called anymore, I just heard some noises for a few seconds and thereafter I heard someone else talking for ...

Hi there.... today (sunday) me and my wife both don't have to work. I know it is not a good day to go out, but is there some club with nice electronic music (house etc.) that is worth being visited on a sunday? What could you recommend? Any good spots in Dubai to go to on a sunday? Thanks for any he...

Stop nagging.... You are a million times better off than 60% of the people out there... I am honestly sorry for the guys living in the mentioned labor camps and earning almost no money at all. I think this is slavery. BUT... as other people said... if you are earning good money and you are paying r...

If you want something really nice get a Volkswagen Touareg. Ok, you pay more than for the japanese crap, but if you have the money go for it. I know there are some people here who will tell you something else, but go decide for yourself... test drive a japanese 4x4 and test drive a Touareg. You will...

I think that is a prejudice.
Just look at Paris-Dakar.
The Touaregs were very strong.

Publishing these pictures here is just as sick as taking them in my opinion. I feel so much dísgust about such people. Probably the person who took the pictures even hindered the rescue units, while they were doing their job. How can someone actually walk to a car, with injured people in it just to ...

Hi people...

in many advertisings (club nights for example) it says "Face card holder discount". What the hell is a face card?
I could not find any information on google or with the forum search here.

Cheers,
Ben

Ahh, ok!

Thanks for your help choc!

I can't believe that there are actually people here, who say 'that's a good idea'. Imagine the catalogues of tour operators all over the world, that say 'AIDS test will be performed on arrival'. Now take a guess... how many tourists will still choose Dubai as their destination? :roll: There are othe...

AFAIK... Sixt is renting only Mercedes cars in Dubai! For a very competetive price for short periods, I don't know about longer periods. Try http://www.sixt.com But you should rent well in advance, I once tried to get a car there about a week in advance and they had no single car available for rent ...

bschmidt

I just called them and asked for a price, because I also need a rental car for 2 months soon after I sold my car.
For Long Term it is very expensive, a Mercedes B150 is 4700 Dhs a month

I always was a trance lover, but new releases disappointed me for quite a time already. That changed when I listened to the new Armin van Buuren compilation 'a state of trance 2006'. I can HIGHLY recommend it. There is not one bad track on the whole double-cd. I don't know if you can buy the CD in t...

MaaaD .... could you say your prediction again for the match Arg. vs. Ger. ?

Weeee are the champions!!!!!!!

bschmidt

:) Good game .. I dont think Germany deserved to win, but oh well.. MaaaD, after the first half I thought the same... BUT... I think in the second half (especially at the end) they really got stronger. This one yellow card for ARG wasn't fair in my opinion. But the penalty shooting was a feast for ...

wow... France beats Brazil

Who would have expected that.
So most of the people were wrong with their bets on the poll here...

What will be the final?

Germany vs. France ?
