Man I find Dubai very similar to Toronto, I'm surprised you see it as so different. I lived in the T. for about 15 years before moving to Calgary.

Welcome though, what kinda things are you interested in? Maybe if you post a little about what you're into, likeminded people will respond.

Through my insurance company anyone with a valid UAE driver's license (temp or perm) can drive it, if they have a Canadian (guessing UK as well they cannot) If the cat has a valid UK license it is very easy to get a temp Dubai one and you don’t need residency, valid for 6 months and continually rene...

Yeah right whatever!

I just have an aversion to really, really fat people - nobody forced them to eat the burger - eeewwwww.

But they taste so damn good

Loul, You don't need residency for a temp driver's license. Just go down with a couple passport copies, a couple of passport photos, your passport and your UK license. For Canada, we had to also get a letter from the Consulate certifying that our Canadian license was valid (translated a BS cash grab...

Okay so here we go, I hope you can all make it. March 3rd 8pm Shisha Place in the Dubai Marina It is a nice open venue that is pretty chilled, easy place to talk, socialize and not overly pricey. I ask that if you are coming just to send me a quick PM, friends, family are welcome, I just need to kno...

I don't know if i win a prize for longest wait but I had to wait 72 days for my internet connection. Well the connection came next day but the guy said they "ran out of modems" so he just installed the line, they always said in a polite voice we're scheduled to get them the next day, which just happ...

Also it is worth just trying to sponsor your family. I know 2 women who’ve done it, One who was an IT colleague of mine, sponsored her family for the 4.5 years that they were in Dubai (She was the only bread winner during this period). The other works at an Embassy but Embassy’s have their own rules...

I looked at the option of buying a visa when i first moved here, it works out to about AED 20k (at least 20 months ago it did), plus you may need to rent a desk space if you go through a free zone. Stability and having a place of belonging are great reasons for residency but since it sounds like he ...

You don't have a choice for phone cards, Wasel by Etisalat is your only prepaid choice.

Quotes like this from the above article have got to make you wonder, Critics have cited the UAE's history as an operational and financial base for the hijackers who carried out the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. In addition, they contend the UAE was an important transfer point for shipments of smuggled ...

A little tidbit, Until I found out streets number works from the centre of the community and then odds go in one direction even go in another I was so confused (i.e. street 50 would be ~100 blocks away from street 51), you'll quickly find out some very unique anomalies that exist in Dubai and why pe...

fayz

Yeah, I realise there is a pattern but if someone says I live at Street 8a Umm Sequiem you can't actually look it up!! And don't get me started on landmarks - they are friggin stupid landmarks with stupid names!! Turn at the Habitat building??? WTF??? It used to be Habitat (like 5 years ago??) but ...

HAHAHAHA, both are fun but I needed a "ride" that would get me to work on time, not make me more late :lol: :lol: No orange, but for Gab it does come in black, also a really nice metallic blue that was my second choice and Silver which is what I chose (a few other colors as well). Mine looks identic...

In other notice, you are giving illegal money to a person, as he already have a fulltime job and you are hiring him for a part time job. Does he have license to do so?? no, so you are helping a criminal. See how it can be seen in more than one prespective. From abusing a slave, to helping him to he...

You mentioned "stripping people", in another context there was a report that some petrol company was strip searching its employees for their tips! :shock: I always ask the pump attendents if they get to keep the tip or if they are going to be strip searched. Actually same context, the stripping I w...

The janitor makes 600 AED / month.... I pay him to clean my flat and my car pretty much an amount that combined equals 50% of his salary.... If that makes me a criminal then so be it. No this means you give an honest man an opportunity to supplement his income. the forcing him to spit polish your s...

99% of the time I fill up at the same Emarat pump and after months of my custom the 2/3 guys that usually served me asked me to stop giving them a couple of dhs when they clean my glass or wash my car. Reason, they don't get to keep it anywayz. Now I buy them a bottle of soft drink or give them swe...
