:lol: haha, nobody appreciates a good sandstorm as much as me, the ones in the uae are laughable by comparision - the things look exactly like the computer generated ones from "the mummy". i even have the odd bit of "foul" for breakfast with my staff, although my constitution is ...

pictures are tricky, you have to post them on a 3rd party hosting site and then link them using the [img] control. you can't post pictures directly to the site[/list]

yes, sadly that's one reason why i left, it was becoming a little to greedy and materialist for me - as well as needing a bit of family time.

although having said that, i'm quiet keen to get back, sudan is a little to laid back for me

i'd say it's a very broad topic and that you need to possibly look at one specific aspect of the company, additionally if you are going to draw comparisons between in (emirates) and other airlines then you have to define things more, or you will simply be bogged down by to much information. eg. mark...

they have changed things at arrivals now, all incoming hand luggage is x-rayed, as well as passenger suitcases. once you have collected your luggage from the collection point you then have to go through a green/ red customs corridor. they also now stop people for random inspections. what i found hel...

No problem, I lived in Dubai for 6 years. I originally came because I had quiet a good offer, unfortunately after I arrived I found my sponsor had been less than honest regarding the situation; it was quiet messy and eventually I ended up at the Labour Department and succeeded in having my contact c...

or if it switched on mid-flight

"passengers removing their vibrating toys from the overhead hat rack should take care not to let them bang your fellow passengers"

mmm. don't waste your time and money with regular "surface mail", it will more than likily end up in the bin, email is faster, cheaper and you can forward more copies :lol: what about looking at Al Maha, the Emirates resort out near Al Ain, Endurance Village is another place to try as well.

1 or 2% is normaly what you would expect from a mail drop

will also help you cut down on all the bruised knuckes from the doors you have to bang on.

they have a software recognition system in place, it alerts the operator to suspicious looking objects in lugage, the operator then looks at the image and deciedes what to do about it - let it through or open it up. they have similar systems in europe

gezza, they didn't confiscate a set of "vibrating rolling-pins" from you did they ?

sorry, i'm board and don't have much going on at work today

send them seperatly as they be handled/ processed by two different people within the organisation i.e. one handling staff placements that are guest related and one handling placements that are PR related. in a small company this won't be the case, but larger hotel chains do have much larger HR depar...

Its a good time to start looking now, the whole negotiation process takes some time and you may have a couple of false starts as well! here's an idea. if the email address you find for the hotel is for example: hrdepartment@bighotel.ae then use google and enter the search string "@bighotel.ae&q...

ah! i wondered why they closed the school! i was supposed to have a group of school kids here for a vist and they were apparently stopped en route and told the school had been closed. It's such a pity, all it takes it one person to take things out of the context or the spirit they were intended in, ...

dbxsoul

Thanks again for your great help! :D I am so glad to have found such a helpful person like you! With such practical help advices! So I will try to Google. To be sure that I got you right - I will take your example now - if I find hrdepartment@bighotel.ae in the internet then I shall Google for @big...

there are plenty of good cameras around, but you normally have to look hard for things like lenses and flash units. most if the stores in the malls sell the basics though. i found quiet a good one at the bottom of ibn battua mall (near geante) that has quiet a selction of extras as well as a fair se...

i'm talking DSLR's here. The prices are pretty good all round, just because you buy it from the side-streets in Bur Dubai means your'e getting a bargain! Rather buy the camera body (although most are supplied with a lense or two), at a reputable agent, that way you at least get a guarentee/ warrente...

you used to be able to buy it over the counter at the pharmacy, but you may have to ask sage to confirm that

:lol: i was thinking about the vibrator last night (purely academic of course), and came up with a solution (definitely no pun intended).. if they were stopped at customs, her boyfriend could claim to have been the victim of a terrible, horrible, debilitating industrial accident... and that it was i...

There is one small thing I’d like to point out in the whole scenario. The questions of why and who? Surely, any rational person if they feel that their beliefs had in some way been affronted would firstly take up the issue with the teacher and failing a suitable explanation then proceed to the princ...

no problem .....

check out sharing (villa or appartment), if you get people who you are compatiable with it makes the rental much easier!

when is the UK going to get with the program and metricate??

in the "old" dubai they used gas a lot because it was plentyful and also didn't place a burden on the electricity generation/ consumption in peak periods during the summer months. i think the jbr issue is more one of saftey than anything else.

Hi there Steve, It's not a bad starting salary for a lawyer in the UAE; granted I'm certain the salary scale is normally a lot higher - but would be dependant on your (Middle Eastern/ Dubai) experience. Whats sort of law? civil, commercial, contracts? As an indicator, you may have to extrapolate her...

Hi there, I think she is correct in her assumption, that Emirates would be the best employer in this field in Dubai - Emirates Holidays specifically. As for the online application process, this seems to be the only way that they process applications, my wife tried for a position a few years back (on...
