He he he

Seems we can leave Liban and Choco to it for a while. I need a break anyway.

There are lots of schools in Dubai but they might have already done their hiring for next academic year. I'm not sure. In our area we have the British School, Emirates International School, Regent School and there are many more. Here is a link that contains a list of some schools - http://www.theemi...

Welcome Trey, and don't forget to bring us some Canadian beer.

I'll break out my violin to accompany all the whining.

But Wafaey, my point was there are many men who expect their wife to work 8 hrs, plus look after kids, plus clean the house and cook the meals, plus be a lover. If she can't handle it, she is treated like a bad employee, bad mother, bad wife. The pressure can come from within women themselves, but I...

Wow, you just joined the forum and you can make personality assessments already? Kiss my back bacon.

kanelli

Hey Kanelli you have got on my wrong side now - You seem to have too much time on your hand and reply to posts (with crap) where you have no expertise or interest! Do you want me to look for and site some examples - I just saw one today Go ahead, please do cite some examples. I try my best to be he...

I agree with Choco, if more people try to do the same as choco does then I think animals in the farms will be treated a lot better. But again, I am also trying to buy something better like free range eggs or organic stuff... but they often 10 times more expensive then the normal cruelty breed stuff...

The soyabeans were organic - grown without genetic modification and without pesticides. That's what they mean by organic. I agree about false practices though. For example, calling a farm organic when it is located next to a farm that uses lots of pesticides. If the other farm drains into the organi...

You have to give a positive along with the negative. For example,

Barbie: "Darling, does my bum look big in these pants?"
Ken: "Sweetie-pie, those pants don't do any justice to your great bum. How about wearing the skirt instead?"

kanelli

Well, what's the difference between buying chicken, beef, lamb, veal or fois gras? All of the animals suffered.

kanelli

Yeah, it is like those people who pick their noses in the car - as if no one notices when there are clear windows all around the vehicle!

kanelli

Actually, I'm female

Just wanted to help you guys out.

George, perhaps you could call the people at Diamond Lease and ask their policy on people driving the rental cars to Oman. Their website must have a telephone number or e-mail address for queries. We drove to Oman in our rental (Hertz) and the border control just asked for our rental agreement with ...

I totally agree with Maaad that that article space would have been better filled with a piece that debates the cultural differences and how all the different cultures in Dubai cope with each other. I just wonder what life is like in the homes of people who don't like public displays of affection. Do...

Just as Muslims living in the West are expected to respect the Western way of life, Westerns living in an Islamic environment should respect the Islamic way of life. This is our way of life: we cuddle only privately. Yes, it is natural ...only when done privately. This is our way of life, it's as s...

kanelli

Yes MS, thank you for your posts. You explain well and make good points about the tolerance needed. Sometimes it really strikes me how different Islamic vs. non-Islamic culture are from each other. It is really difficult when you have one culture that thinks that anything s.e.xually related should b...

kanelli

Because it is related

kanelli

Actually, the Quran doesn't stipulate that women need to wear the head-to-toe covering that we see in many Islamic countries - but those countries have a patriarchal culture and that seems to have influenced the custom of women's dress. Yes, women are viewed as s.e.x.ual objects. If women have to co...

kanelli

IMJ, I usually get annoyed when people come to the forum and post things like, "What is Dubai like - can women drive cars and dress like they normally dress?" "Can a man and woman who are not married live together?" "How do I find a job in Dubai?" "Where can I live...

You know I'm saving all of these for posterity

kanelli

Liban, I was referring to the fact that many women cover their faces, hands, ankles and feet as well. Some women don't expose even one millimeter of skin to anyone outside of their home. Do you disagree with my noting this custom of dress and its incongruence with what you just said the Quran stipul...

There are women in tribal communties around the world (in warmer climates) who wear only short grass or fabric skirts with no top - are they Western p<3n stars?

kanelli

That's true IMJ. We shouldn't do it, but we aren't perfect. On the whole, most people are helpful here.

kanelli

From my understanding Syria has been impilcated in the assination of Hariri.

We'll be back in the Toronto area in a few years - so see you there Constantine. (Sorry I missed the bbq! We fell asleep on the couch

)

kanelli

But why do I see some Muslim men walking at the mall with their woman covered from head to toe (sheer black fabric over her face) - yet the man wears shorts and a t-shirt? Does the man not need protecting from becoming a s.e.xual object? Do men not tempt women and give them unclean thoughts? In the ...

kanelli

Thank you Wafaey - and thanks for sticking around long enough to get to know us before writing us off

kanelli

It is to prevent women from becoming s.e.x. objects that this law was introduced in the Quran by God since back then most women where nothing more than the s.e.x. objects in Western porno movies. There are women in tribal communties around the world (in warmer climates) who wear only short grass or...
