Oh no not me, I've been here all my life and uptil recently been a staunch supporter. If you'd offered me a million bucks a few years back I would not have moved or even thought about it. I took the "blue pill"( matrix refrence :D ) somewhere in early 2009 and woke up from the illusion. I ...

No, not all with all the other soldiers, just the few who deserve the title.

Some military types would call them cowards. I know, a skewered sense of reality.

Yup blocked by DU.

Islamic banks are just the same, nothing Islamic about them other than the name and some rebadge interest as profit as a feel good measure. Just as bad as any other bank here.

What ever the problem is, the point is instead of rectifying it, acknowledging it or even taking responsiblity for it, all you will hear is the same old if you don't like it leave. And that is the crux of the problem.

And its the same with almost everything here. THAT is the problem

10k all inclusive is all right for a single person or even just a couple, rents are cheap and almost sinfully cheap in Sharjah ( as low as 9k for a studio in some places in sharjah )if you don't mind the commute. Save up and a get a cheap banger. Plenty of deals going on 2nd hand cars. You can get a...

I think atleast 5 years, Still way too many empty ghost towns and more and more come online everyday. Will take atleast 2 or 3 years to get everything what has started to finish if they ever get finished. Economic situation is Dubai not getting anybetter and more and more people will want to cut loo...

Its a good way to get your house smelling nice and even your car. There are some really nice aromatic ones out there nowadays, beats having crappy pot pourri anyday and smell much better too.

But not the full on traditional stuff though, which can bring tears to you eyes !

There is a market in Falaj Al Moula that sells fresh camel meat and pretty cheap too.

What Passport, what ethinicity, what field and how much experience. Yes all these matter and in that order !

Anyone can wear it there is no law against, but not everyone can pull it off. But if you can pull it off. Then expect everyone to speak to you in Arabic. Your workplace knowing your not Emarati nor speak Arabic will mind alot if you do wear it to work. But do expect to get into trouble if you make f...

Yes thank you bruce for resurrecting another 5 year old thread !

Well all I will say is. Questioning reglion comes from the atrocities done in the name of all religons in the past and present. But having said that even if there was no religon man would find and has found other reasons to do no good. Culture, Nationality, Race, Sex, Creed. The biggest agitators ne...

But throttle bit torrent traffic.

A FAIL well spotted

desertdudeshj

Plain and simple, everything is expensive expensive expensive. From the insurance to the services. But hey if you can afford it then go for it. You only live once. Maybe look around the local Autotrader and Aweer used car complex. There are many of these slightly used things avaliable. Just don't bu...

desertdudeshj

You using DU. Du has been throttling bit torrent traffic ! The buggers !

desertdudeshj

Bah ! I hate beaches and never really found the attraction. I guess if you grow up in a hot country and have always lived not more than 10 mins from it. I guess it looses it charms.

desertdudeshj

Thats true, but if you can afford to loose lets say something to the tune of 420-50k ish over the next 3 years and not miss it much, then go for it. ( Insurance, maintaince etc etc ) But then on the other more sensible side, these are not times one should be indulging in such luxuries ???? I know co...

desertdudeshj

Here mate. I've always lived in the UAE. Never been more than a good walk or a short car hop away from the beach and I'm not talking coast line but beach. Never planned it that way but just is.

desertdudeshj

Dealer maintanice is expensive for any car here, bring a bently into the mix and your talking top dollar. Not to mention comprehensive insurance every year. I think its safe to say it would be around atleast 30-35k per year( got a quick online axa quote of 35k) into three years. Thats 90k just in in...
