i assume from the general consensus that number 12 on the list would be "tourists don't want to see people taking a dump in a public wash basin"

any thoughts on number 13?? what about...

brush up on your uae legal knowledge before the interview - it's quiet simplistic, but differs considerably from what you will have been used to. you could get hold of copies of say the federal law on labour and federal company laws from most of the book shops for a crash course before your intervie...

damn, here i thought i was being original only to find out i'm a plagiarist!
Anyone believe in collective unconsciousness?

dbxsoul

the plagiarsit or the unconciousness?

the first definitly, the second ... well i think unconcious probably applies to to about 90% of the drivers in dubai... so i would have to go with that as well

dbxsoul

haha

serves you right DK for crossing over to the "dark side" aka the sharjah border

dbxsoul

well i think unconcious probably applies to about 90% of the drivers in dubai No - you've got it wrong - they aren't unconcious - they've just got busy lifes and have far more important things to think about than other road users! hahahaha - point taken mmmmm like clipping the hair on thier toes wh...

dbxsoul

well the hair bit yes, but the driving with the feet up i've seen a number of times - amazing what you can do when you have cruise control... but oddly enough this does seem to affect reaction time when you need to use the brakes ...

it's called the "federal law of 1980 - No. 8", "Regulating labour relations" you should find a few references to it on line, just remember that it is the UAE Federal law, the labour law in the emirate of Dubai does deviate slightly to the way its implimented. if you need specific...

The artificial 'Islands' of Dubai have just about decimated the natural ecology of the area, changed the long shore drift pattern of the coastal strip and, according to some experts, will erode very quickly. The words 'shifting sands' come to mind. Was recently lucky enough to visit the World and w...

I've been following the progress of The Plastic Scouring Pad Comp. (L.L.C) with great interest, and feel that some of the members of the forum may want to invest their time (and possibly hard earned money) in a new venture that I am about to embark on.
