Hi everyone! I'm new to Dubai and have been here a month. One thing I have noticed in my short spell is that people do not seem to want to socialise! everyone at work is 'coupled up' or has a family to go to or just want to do their own thing.. surely I am missing something, there must be some singl...

Just a random question...if you could turn back time would you still have come to Dubai or gone somewhere else? Has it lived up to your expectations?

It's funny old place but the marketing is very clever so it's very easy to be misled...(that's my opinion anyway)

Thanks Chocoholic...it's a shame the thread veered off in a totally different direction! I will start a new thread at some point to interact more. As for going to Buddha bar/Baristi - i don't really want to go on my own and def don't want sleazy male attention. I'm looking to make some friends that ...

It's really annoying! but why do the guys stare so much? They even stare when they are driving past - without a care in the world that they may have an accident! I mean, have they never seen a female before?

It's really annoying but maybe it's a cultural thing?

[quote="uaekid"]You see guys, it is so sad you don't have a clue what is going on around you !! It's shocking how rude people are - we are all part of the same race for god sake and everyone has had their hand in building the UAE...it could not have been done without the help of westerners...

Having spent over 6 weeks over here - I've decided that Dubai really is not a place for someone who wants to make the most of life..unless that is to visit hotels, malls and drive around everywhere! It just doesn't make sense to have people living here...everyone is so irrate and the mentality is me...

why don't you take the other 20,000 with you ,I 'll owe you one. and don't forget chocoholic , she has been here long enough. I think people will start coming home...a lot of people came out here for the tax free income only to return home and enjoy life there as there is more of a buzz in Europe, ...

Dubai will be dead soon I disagree with you. Even though it's not clear where it's heading now, and the world recession has made a lot of changes that may or may not be dealt with wisely. But cities do not fall in a blink of an eye. [/quote] Hey..when i say dead - i mean quite and even more soulles...

Maybe he got the sack...[/quote]

No didn't get the sack (kind of wish i did as it would mean i wouldn't have to pay back relocation allowances etc!)..I'm not a 'he' either..

When I first came to Dubai, I had a two bedroom apartment; swimming pool, sauna, gym, car parking space and security, for Dhs 36,000! The thing is, my son was born here and I would much rather see him grow in Dubai than become a chav in south London! Not everyone lives in South London and not every...

I'm so bored - I have no idea where to go and what to do apart from malls and driving...any tips/ideas? Thanks!

newfromLondon

bugger just noticed "driving is out" too :? Lol! I would love that except I am only renting an Toyota Yaris - just about got the hang of driving on the 'wrong side of the road' - desert driving is a whole new ballgame! It's a bit chilly outside...so far my evening has involved; sitting on...
