Who knows Jag, I work for Federal Government so go figure. Well with my insurance any large medical bills are covered by direct payment, they just get pre-approval first from the insurance company. I'm really not fussed about paying a couple of hundred dirhams for the doctors then claiming it back,...

Hiya I worked for Emirates for 3 and a half years as cabin crew.I was recruited in London. I had a fantastic time with Emirates...........in the beginning. Every job seems amazing until you are in the job!! Dont get me wrong it was fantastic for the time I spent with the company. Heres some pros an...
I agree with the poster. I just returned yesterday from a nice vacation from the far east and fast came back to reality in Dubai :evil: I am so fed up with these bloody retarded drivers in their 100% tinted cars - you all know who they are! Was heading home from a friends place and was on a two lane...
thanks for everybody's advise, i already done my rough draft of my project, yea i got the sources from the books, government website, and news article too, but since i found this forum and i know you guys living in Dubai I am currently living in USA. So i want to know how u guys think about Dubai's...
I think the guy being arrested is totally off the wall. The Captain of the Traffic police told me, that if someone really ticks you off, to press charges and the police will take it seriously. Like I said if you make hassle for these guys - they hate it! HHmmmm I did read somewhere about a guy that...
Extracted from a diary (true story they say..) Aug. 12 - Moved to our new home in Canada. I am so excited. It's so beautiful here. The mountains are so majestic. Can hardly wait to see them with snow covering them. Oct. 14 - Canada--it is the most beautiful place on earth. The leaves have turned al...
All commuters from Sharjah coming into Dubai should be taxed about 10K AED annually.... Yeah true, but they should tax the people with Dubai visas who go to shj cuz of lower rents and screw up things for everyone on that highway. I heard someone saying that the guv wants to impose a rule that peopl...
I heard someone saying that the guv wants to impose a rule that people with Dubai visas should be forced to live in dubai only. Well, I heard (actually I read) that the UAE is signatory to some international document which says residents have freedom of movement within the country i.e. you can live...
Well, Dubai continues with hypocritical behaviour. While normal people are sentenced to 4+ years in prison, this guy gets off scott free. What kind of message does this send out to other drug users? That if you are rich and (somewhat famous), you can do drugs or whatever in Dubai and get away with i...
...if u have money, u can get away with nearly everything..... That's why I keep working....with the hope that one day I'll be able to get away with everything. well u see, ur on the wrong track from the very beginning :lol: working wont bring u money So what are you referring to? Running your own ...
people from south remain the same...but people from places like bombay etc change bigtime...the whole lifestyle and behaviour changes...out here indian chics adapt themselves to mcuh better lifestyle...basically itz got a very chilled out life compared to india..and everything out here is just too ...
Hey, bit of an old post, but just wanted to add to it.. The reason companies pay different wages to different nationalities is because those nationalities (asian or whatever) actually accept it. If they didnt, then the employers would not have a choice in the matter. Similarly westerners do not acce...
Hi, MANY thanks for your fast replies!!!!!! I come alone to Dubai (except my two cats) , is it difficult to make friends? I life now 5 years in Singapore and have a lot of friends, to make friends is very simple! BTW I'm 37! :oops: My company offer for Dubai and Singapore the same salary (10000 USD...
Hey all, Would like to know how many of you all on the forums have your own business? I am thinking of starting a network mixer for Dubai entrepreneurs in September/October and would like to get an idea of entrepreneurs on these forums... Also would like to hear about your experiences with running a...
or maybe they are afraind the US will bomb the shit out of them and take all the oil .. for "human rights violations" :P You're probably not a million miles away from the truth. Technically speaking, Dubai/UAE is one of those places that isn't a democracy and therefore should fall under t...
white person with white degree most preferred, then colored person with white degree and the last one is colored person with colored degree! not all the whites are educated, I have seen some local companies recruiting white street fighters from South africa as managers of a construction company. th...

The Big Picture, I did not ignore your previous post...I just thought a lot of the information was invalid. Take your example of an accountant.....if you had different cvs of different nationalities on you desk and you chose the English person, then I suggest you should enrol in a HR course.....sur...
That is disappointing. A few clarification questions: When you are talking about salaries as 40K-50K, for example, is that AED/month? or USD/year? I know Dubai Healthcare City is scheduled to open soon with an affiliated Harvard Medical School teaching institution. Will this have any impact on sala...
To be an entrepreneur in this town, you need to be either seriously rich already...or be a local. Ndex! :( :( :( Knight Not true mate, I didnt start with much but things have turned out quite well after putting in a few years of serious effort. We mostly sell to manufacturers and only extend credit...
Sharjah is boring to live in. When you go out it will always be in Dubai... If I can get there!! But what about places to live. Are there some good areas with good apartments for rent?? Are apartments cheaper than in Dubai?? The Buheira corniche and new corniche area (close to Dubai-Shj highway) ha...
The fact that there are so many businesses in Dubai is also proof that you dont need wads to cash to start a business... But there are also many cowboy operations about, which is why you need common sense when doing business and extending credit to anyone..
nice apartments, but cant walk with a girl after 10 pm on the streets... leave alone getting cozy :wink: Where do you get your facts from?? Honestly I have been out with my wife for a stroll many times, its perfectly fine! From what Ive seen Shj is definitely more family oriented and if youre a sin...

Where do you get your facts from?? Honestly I have been out with my wife for a stroll many times, its perfectly fine! From what Ive seen Shj is definitely more family oriented and if youre a single guy, well, you will be in Dubai mostly to have fun.. Evaluate your own situation, see what rents you ...
Hey all, ok I want to install some accessories on my ride, like side skirts and front and rear low spoilers. Does anyone know of any auto aftermarket accessory shops in Dubai/Shj that do this stuff? Been looking around but cant find anything!!
