Bit of location advice - Where to live?

Hi Guys, Just wondering if you could offer some advice? Don't know Dubai too well. I'm moving over from the UK at end of July. I've got a choice of 2 places for accommodation, both pretty much the same price. I'm sharing with other people and have found a room in one of the towers on Shk Zayed road ...

Wow, 500K! Wish I'd bought somewhere there a few years ago!

Not sure which end of Shk zayed road it's on. Will check it out, cheers.
Trying to find somewhere up by the marina too. I heard that's the place to be. Would you agree?

Re: Firearms

Of course guns increase murders/violent deaths, especially in America where they're much more available than say, Canada. If you choose to ignore that or hide behind the kind of crass 2nd Amendment arguments that could only survive in America, be my guest. Just don't expect us to respect it. I'm fr...

I'm moving to dubai at the end of the month and have plenty hobbies to take up there. Never thought of skating though.

Where can you go skating in Dubai? Is it not just too damn hot to be scating around outside?

Thanks for that! So it's all much of a muchness really. Yeah, I think you're right about the traffic. Still haven't got anything sorted yet though. It seems very difficult to arrange renting somewhere from here in the UK. Had one lettting agent say he needed a deposit to reserve my place. That sound...

I know what you mean. Just been watching Jeremy Kyle (the British Jerry Springer!) Lol!! We've all got them. It's like when the English get grief for all supposedly being drunken yobs & football hooligans when abroad (prob a fair bit of truth to that one tho!). God bless the media for helping st...

I used to know some guys who were on them........ Roid rage didn't seem that mythical when I had to drag one of them off his brother when he went mental for some trivial reason. His personality started to change when he took them & in couple of years was a different person. Always just thought i...
