I haven't driven the Escape but I drove the Edge and was impressed. I ended up buying something else but overall i like the look and handling, I doubt it'd be able to do more than park on a sidewalk when required, but I like GTMash's review, you can't sum it up any better.

I prefer to pay for things in Cash, I recently got my first UAE credit card, but I like to feel the money leave my wallet when I buy something makes me think twice before purchasing.

Are you sure because at the times Square store it was clearly marked as 80gig for 1200, I hope you're right because that means I got a bit of a deal.

hahahaha, Benwj, sadly you're not alone, interestingly (2/3rds) 67% of expats go home with no more money then they came with (stat from gulf news about 6 months ago)

HSBC for 6% is the best for a savings account I've found, you need to do everything on the internet and I think the min is 5k,

Are you sure it's owned by a company or just managed by one? Our checks are written to a company but they are managing it for individuals. If it is a company and the purpose of the home is revenue generation then you have no problem at all. Also the onus is on the company/landlord to prove that they...

Welcome to Dubai, I also saw Texas Hold 'em sets being sold inside Spinney's plaza in Umm Sequin, Dubai is interesting, things seem to get past the sensors. I’ve even seen places in Karama advertising Mah Jong sets.
