I'm a GCC member, so this should make things easier. I'm looking for something for 1,000,000 Dhs to mortgage. It can be an apartment, villa, duplex, whatever, as long as it is 2 bedroom! It needs to be immediately available with internet connection and AC. You think my quest is reasonable? Please he...

Just a small clarification: by 'near Burj alArab' I mean within 7kilometers or so.

The guy who hired me just came here from the UK to start a new department in the company. He said he liked my personality and wanted me to be part of his team even though I asked for more than what the position pays. He "broke the structure" and got me hired. He's a very friendly and flexi...

I been complaining to my wife about the nightmarish Sharjah-Dubai traffic during work commute hours. She sympathized. But yesterday she said I'm gonna come meet you at work to give you company in your way back. And we took off from Dubai Internet City at 6:10pm. I told her we should be home at aroun...

I listen to audiobooks during these hours which helps a lot, but it's still very stressful being crammed in this almost motionless traffic for 4 hours. Just thinking about those hours makes me sad and anxious. In my office alone there are two other people who have been doing it for awhile. I only be...

Actually, I got a job in the states after my first interview. Then, thanks to John Ashcroft, I didn't get a work permit (or if you're into technical terms 'Optional Practical Training' permit). An attorney, I spoke to, recommended that I appeal, but I said f*ck it. I couldn't stay in the U.S. on my ...

I was just telling someone today about how there is so much money in Saudi and very low level of competition, and he said: why did you leave that and come here? I didn't know what to answer. I tell myself that I could've had a beautiful life in Saudi, then I remind myself that I could imagine anythi...

Did you try the likes of Dubai Holdings (and the zillion spin off companies), Emaar, Dubai World, Du , Etisalat , etc ... ? I looked at all the places that you mentioned, I haven't heard back from any of them, yet. May be they are taking their time, but also, like many people here said, may be they...

"I thought that I'd be a catch if I lowered my limit to 6000 Dhs, but still no one seems interested." i just thought i'd throw my tuppence in here, there's a saying in Scotland that if 'you lower the price, you devalue the product'. i'll be honest, i've not quite followed where you're wor...

I have started an online business and I want to register the company. I don't need office space and I perform all of the business activities from my home office. However, to register a business, I must submit a commercial property contract. I was told that there are very short-term (like one month) ...

how easily, and where can, alcohol (beer) be obtained for personal home consumption? Not as easy as in Italy or the U.S. I'm sure. You can't find alcohol in convenience stores or grocery shops. For home consumption, you can go buy a few months supply from the whole in the wall in Ajman. It's about ...

msafi

Thanks for the quick reply. :D What is this "hole in the wall" in Ajman? Is it a designated liquor store for expats? How can you use this "hole in the wall"? I guess you can not just turn up and by a few crates of beer! Is Ajman in the UAE or does it require a border crossing? A...

I really think I can talk my way out of any encounter with the police. There is just so many ways you can manipulate them, but you have to at least speak Arabic because they get intimidated otherwise. You can apologize, admit your weakness and fault, appeal to their great culture by telling them tha...

msafi

Thing is: it's unnatural for the percentage of alcohol in your body to be 0, so there is a chance you might get pulled over and tested to have above 0% alcohol and get arrested! anything can happen down here, better be careful!

msafi

let me know if you find something like you described. i'd really be interested.

thanks,

p.s. i used to be good defense at one point in my life. however, i now suck. i'm 25 and at a pretty bad shape.

Hi, I need around 30,000 AED. I have excellent credit rating from the U.S. I'm not employed and I don't have any business history in the UAE. I'm willing to put up my car title as collateral. My car is easily worth more than 30,000 AED. Does anyone know where I can get this kind of loan? I've alread...

Do radar detectors work with traffic cameras in Dubai, where can I get one?

msafi

So police have radar detector detectors? maybe i should also buy a radar detector detector detector, so that i can turn off my radar detector when my radar detector detector detector discovers that i'm near a police radar detector detector. Hehehe...jk. I still don't know where to get one though? Ca...

Hello fellas,

Anyone recommend a cheap but decent bodyshop to repair the few dents on my Toyota Yaris? I'm totally lost, and I don't know where to even begin looking. Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks,

Hi captnamerica, Are you still looking for a place to train MMA? I know a good place, but it's for Thai Boxing (striking). Some people there do some grappling after training, just for fun. I can tell you about the place; it's near Festival City, Dubai. I used to go there, and I wanna start again but...

Hi, I wonder if I should factor in the availability of Etisalat's eLife service in my choice of a new apartment. I'm talking specifically about online gaming and ping/latency. If you have Etisalat's eLife, can you please visit http://pingtest.net/ and test your ping with a server located in North Am...
