I'm an asian but in my pov, there is tension between them and cultural differences is the main cause. But normally no one talks about it (only between themselves yeah) so you don't actually feel it. They are too much dependent on one another to openly manifest these tensions. :wink: [expecting angry...

^ Exactly. So it led me to believe that the survey only interviewed the 'prominent' expats.
Maybe they interviewed a friend of mine who was a truck driver in his home country a year ago and is now working for a big local company as a senior manager. Hmmm.. I'll ask him.

...did you ask them how much they use to make back home ? thats what the study is about... Expat Existence, the first report in The Expat Explorer Series, ranked the top rated places to live based on expats’ living standards, an expat’s ability to earn and save, a country’s popularity (longevity), ...

I just have to ask this. What is the elaborate, choreographic pitching for? I'm just curious if it makes it harder to hit the ball or just part of the rules.

komobee, you should know better than to promote the country in, of all places, dubaiforums. :wink: Anyway, we're here because there are fewer jobs back home. And if you do get a decent job there, the pay's pathetic. We like dubai because there are more job opportunities and it's the easiest place to...

Okay... It looks like it's not going to end soon. About a lot of filipino men having second families here, I noticed that too and I think it's true, sadly. Back home that practice is also prevalent but not in 'epidemic' proportions. It's just that here they have more 'freedom' to go for it. In my op...

Design is quite the same. The fonts are ever smaller and what you plan to put on the right side. Most of the people these days have wide screens. What browser are you using? The design should be centered. At least in firefox and opera it is. I'm using firefox on a wide screen and I have huge spaces...

It would also be nice if you can view the first few words/sentences in a thread by just hovering over the title. I've seen it done in similar phpBB forums.

On the upper row, the lady on the leftmost looks like an Indonesian, on the second pic the girls look like Thais, the third pic looks like... Tia Carrere! (she's only a fraction filipina), and the fourth lady looks like a Vietnamese...

How would you like to be a woman of French, English, Irish, Spanish, and Lithuanian ancestry like myself and have random Arab men come up to you asking if you're from the Philippines because the maids and beautycams(I don't know what that is) are from there? LOL. They actually come up to you to ask...

If it's boring to be a teenager here in Dubai, it sure is SCARY to be one in the UK!
I notice knifing of teenagers is rampant in the UK. They should start removing sharp objects around teenagers there.

pinoy1

:roll: You should rephrase your first statement then, that you are mistaken for a filipina not because maids come from the Philippines but because the arabs have seen a lot of them in their countries and you look like one. See the difference? The first statement is tactless and offensive and reveals...

Okaaayy...
Should we continue with this discussion any further guys?

Culture is something that occurs only after a very long period of time? In that case, wait for a century and Dubai will definitely have its own culture to boast about.
It's interesting though how it will turn out.. being based on materialism and consumerism and of a multi-cultural population.

Well it seems it'll take a very long time before the majority of Dubai motorists will learn the virtues of discipline and respect or even basic traffic rules. So here's an idea of mine to solve the speeding problem for the meantime: I noticed that drivers would only go within speed limits when appro...

I know a lot of guys who're not laborers but waiters, fastfood crews, and staffs from the hospitality business that earn only around 2K and not including accommodation. They're the ones very much affected by evictions from villas/flats that have a dozen or more people sharing a unit. I wonder when t...

pinoy1

Haha, no DK I don't. I just had this idea while I was heading to the office this morning. Desperate times (or hopeless cases) calls for desperate measures I thought.
It's gonna be a very long time before motorists start respecting each other on the road.

pinoy1

^ or maybe you just got lucky with your employer. hehe. I don't think that principle applies in Dubai. If you're willing to be paid AED10 and work as if you're getting 20, then expect more work in the future instead. 3rd world people are desparate and, coupled with a lack of 'right' educational back...

If you often make calls to your home country using your phone, du will charge you by the second, which is more practical.

And make sure the dune bashing takes place in Hatta desert where the big sand dunes are.

I am so sorry to hear your story and opinion pinoy1 but I could not agree with your post here. I had worked for M-I SWACO, a Smith/Schlumberger company dominated by westerners and men in the Oil & Gas Industry, the principle is the same. I had worked for a local company owned by Arabs, with mix...

I'm the maid but remember I'm not Asian!!!!! Guys, SHE'S NOT ASIAN!!!!!!! you hear?! NOT ASIAAAANNNNN!!!!! My God! How many times does she have to tell you that?!?! puppypup, I wonder how your non-asian self got your employer to get you that mobile. With full internet access huh? Must be expensive.

Old news. The beaches of Dubai have been tasty for years! I had to visit one of the unfinished islands on The World last year. It was littered with blue plastic bags, old water bottles, shite, and thousands of packets of disposable razors that had apparently come from a container that 'fell off' a ...
