Friendster and Facebook still haven't been banned (knock on wood...).

I don't mind hanging around with my girl if she wants to shop, provided she doesn't overdo it. I guess it depends on whether she's addicted to this and actually digs into her or my savings to satisy the shopping instinct

Hey folks... a friend of mine has been working at this company for nine months, and recently got his work visa. He has just now been offered a really good package with a different company, and this company is actually owned by the Dubai government. Can he change jobs, and move in with the new compan...

Hey folks... a friend of mine has been working at this company for nine months, and recently got his work visa. - What visa was he on for the nine months he was working? Was it a visit visa. If so then the 9months dont count as working... He has just now been offered a really good package with a di...

Ah, the age-old question... where to invest? I suggest you need to decide for yourself first how much risk you're willing to take, and how much you're willing to invest. There's always a risk/return tradeoff, the higher the risk, the higher the return (theoretically speaking). People made their mill...

You're friend needs to ask the company he's currently working for if they would a) implement any ban on him, b) give him a no objection letter to switching to another company. The idea is NOT to tell them anything until the guy is sure he will be "saved" by the govt firm. Should the curre...

DF, Do Indians/Pakistanis from America, who have an American college degree, American work experience and American citizenship do they get paid good too since their also from the states? really curious about that, please let me know, thanks. I don't know about you dude, but coming from the US and a...

Sadly and hate to say it but in many companies here it won't matter where you've been educated your still Pakistani/Indian and that will be that. It shouldn't be that way, but in many cases it is. What's wrong in being a Pakistani or an Indian? I honestly believe people should not be applying to po...

AD is coming up guys... watch out for some outrageous developments. Anyone attending Cityscape in Abu Dhabi this week?

Hey Yellow... I think this is a tough question, I think all men are different. It's like me asking what does a Turkish girl like? I'm sure all of them are quite interesting, but all of them would be different in their own unique way. I think most Pakistani guys appreciate good food. Good looks, high...

Seems to me that you belong to the variety who likes low IQ bimbos with hairy backs... or guys perhaps?

UNCONDITIONAL LOVE - no one can ever give this to you. Only GOD gives unconditional love (as per the religious teachings). I still have to verify on this teaching first. Human as we are, we aren't capable of giving unconditional love. There's always a 'condition' no matter what. On the other hand, ...

I agree with XRV... it is extremely difficult for Fresh Grads to get a job here. You are expected to come with experience and be able to hit the ground running, no one has the patience to teach stuff to expats here.

7k is okay, but do push for a lot more after 2 years max.

Dude... ain't gonna happen... not in the Dhabi. I suggest that you either churn out a lot more than that, or commute from Ras Al Khaimah

I'm due to visit Dhaka soon for 3-4 days on a work assignment... has anyone ever been there? I'm going to be staying in a pretty decent hotel, but don't know if there's much to do in town or any nearby areas after work. I've heard that the wildlife parks are pretty decent. Would appreciate any tips/...

Dude, I've had more than my fair share of getting hit on by gay guys. The good thing is that almost always they bugger off after they learn that I'm straight. There was one time in college when the situation demanded that I take drastic measures, and the poor guy paid for it. I don't have anything a...

Beauty pagents are pointless. Don't these women feel weird when they are walking, talking and looking at the camera like that... with every bodily movement, whether perceived or real, being judged by "experts" and a global audience with too much time on its hands. I think its quite silly a...

Hey Houcem, welcome to Dubai. The package is good as far as living costs go... you can trust that you won't be starving and walking naked on the streets anytime soon. Whether the package is "good" or not depends... how many years of relevant experience do you have and which firms have you ...

Hey folks! I am in the process of moving back to Dubai. My new office will be located in Festival City, and I am looking to live somewhere nearby. I'm looking for a 2 BR apartment for up to a 100k, preferably in a newer apartment building. I think that is a reasonable budget for Deira. Anyone have a...

Thanks guys. What's the traffic situation in Ghusais? Also, does anyone know much about Warqa?

Cheers!

Okay folks, so I sold my car. Instead of going to Dubai Police to get the ownership transferred, the buyers insisted that I go with them to some shady second-hand car dealer (probably to save them money). The dealer gave us a form which both of us (the buyer and the seller) signed, basically saying ...

Why is it that it's such a no-no to go on a blind date here (all dating websites blocked), while its all good and acceptable to get a AED 300 ho from one of the numerous seedy nightclubs?

Is it just me or is there something wrong with this picture?

cactus_rock

oh just go onto face book and add the are you interested, flit, hot or not etc applications. It's stupid. There's no way you'd get me to go on a blind date though. Okay... Facebook is NOT a dating website. You add people on your friend's list because you've known them for a while. I for one have br...
