Hi good post but I have to disagree in many ways. I know the authors say they don't monitor anything, only they know this though. It does cost them, bandwidth is not free, this makes me very suspicious, if it does not cost them anything, then anyone can offer it, but trust me bandwidth is not free, ...

One good point about them is that the server appears to be located in France, at least it is not a country as notorious for privacy violations and traffic monitoring.

No problem, I wish you the best of luck. I believe there are good jobs in Dubai if you look.

Keep in touch, I plan to visit Dubai early next year for tourism and business.

Thanks for your responses everybody. Dubai Knight please do keep us informed of the system and the procedure. You're the only person I've found so far who has a pretty good knowledge of what is allowed. I think you said in another thread that vehicles must be 10 years or newer right? I'm assuming yo...

Does anyone know how much a fully furnished 1 or 2 br apartment with internet will cost to rent for 1 month?

Is it possible to rent for just one month in any of the apartments?

Dubai is a world leader in many things and is already being compared to London and New York, Beijing, etc. The one thing they are not ahead of us their telecom, especially when it comes to the internet. They've invested billions on real estate and other amazing attractions, so why not outdo the offe...

What hotels does everyone recommend?
Are there any that have discounts for monthly stays?

I haven't seen him live but I've seen his acts and he really is great.
He seems to me like a fairly genuine and humble comedian.

I hear Dubai is getting Universal health care, who does it apply to and how would non-residents receive medical care and what are the costs like?

Thanks

compevo

Thanks for this info Dubai Knight. So any vehicle less than 10 years old can be imported? This makes Dubai a great place to live, here in Canada we are very limited on what can be imported and cars must be 15-years old. I'm a big fan of JDM cars, and Japan has a lot of amazing vehicles to suit any t...

I just learned from Dubai Knight that you are allowed to import any vehicle that is less than 10 years old. For car enthusiasts this means virtually all of the legendary cars that weren't available outside Japan can be purchased and shipped to Dubai. This is very exciting compared to Canada where JD...

I own a Siamese fighting fish, does this count as being a hobbyist?
If I had the time I would love to have a nice salt-water aquarium too.

I hear this is a mall that is over 2km long, designed in the shape of a Dragon and is very close to the Chinese shopping experience.

Is this true and how are the prices?

compevo

This makes Dubai sound very exciting. I've heard Dubai has a lot of great cuisine at affordable prices too.

compevo

I've heard that Dubai has a great assortment of any item you could want and that it often has goods that aren't available in other parts of the world.

Is this true?

compevo

And I'm guessing it will be top notch care and with minimal waiting.
The UAE really has done a lot of things the right IMHO from what I keep reading.

compevo

Thanks for that info Captain Australia, I didn't realize there was another ISP in Dubai actually Do you think you could PM me your IP so I can do a traceroute, I'm wondering if DU's routing is any better. I did a traceroute to http://www.du.ae but that site appears to be hosted in the same city I li...

This is disturbing, I still heard that Dubai is generally a safe place but I guess these unfortunate incidents are part of the exception?

Where ever you are, I guess you can never be too sure or ever let your guard down.

I'm not singling anyone out, but it really seems some people are disgruntled on these forums and that many times people call them on what sound to be bogus or exaggerated complaints. I wish the mods would take a tougher stance on this so people researching can have a better feel for how things reall...

Good links and pics. I still find the most stunning building to be the Burj Al-Arab

Hi sl0wik, thank you for your feedback and I am sorry you feel it is expensive, but I am concerned you are basing it on price and not the product. Businesses that can't afford data loss and downtime choose our service. Those offers are not clustered so it is not comparable. If our VPS Servers were n...

Thanks yasrkasem, do you work for Etisalat? I've tried a traceroute from 4 different ISPs in Canada, actually 5 and most traceroutes were the same, and even ones that took routes through Hong Kong or Europe still had at least 300 ms latency :( Some ISPs tested: Bell/Group Telecom, Telus, Tata/Telegl...

I appreciate people like you giving a balanced perspective on things. It's like this for anything, I hear lots of stories about certain places and when you visit you often find things are far different than they were described. I think this may have a lot to do with the person, a lot of places I've ...

The two sites above this post have information. Basically you will want to find a good Exporter in Japan who can be trusted to find you the kind of car you're looking for, in good condition.

compevo

I'm glad it helped you.

Cheers

What hotels or apartments are recommended? I don't need anything special as long as it's clean, safe and has internet access.

Thanks!

compevo

I've heard different stories, some people say not to stay in Sharjah because it takes hours to travel out of it.

Can someone give me a perspective about how bad traffic is and if it's not practical to stay in Sharjah?

Thanks
