Hi all, I currently live in Scotland but will be emigrating to Dubai in the next 3-4 months when I've passed my driving test. Can anyone tell me where any of the teenage hangouts are in and around Dubai? I'm interested in meeting with people of a similar age to myself (16-19, I'm 17). Cheers for any...

We went to the Dragon Mart when I was out in Dubai in July/August this year and I have to say there is nothing worth seeing there...most of the shops are full of cheap imported Chinese goods and I would say that the majority of the units are shut and are being used for storage (even though it says t...

Hi all,

Does anyone know whether Sky Satellite television is available in the UAE? I have a Sky+ box that I would take with me if I could get the correct dish etc.

Cheers for any help.

Well it depends on what you like doing, you have all the shisha places around, the parks where people play football endlessly sometimes, the malls, cinemas, etc. :) Well, for example, where do the expat kids hang out? Thanks for the website as well, I bought "Time Out - Dubai, Abu Dhabi and th...

Agreed... Was very, very disappointed when I went there myself last month.. FFS it only had one mobile shop, and it was closed.. I don't even recall why we went there...I think it was for curtains or some sort of soft furnishing for the house, but upon strolling endlessly through the mall we did co...

Cheers, got a good idea of where to start hitting when I arrive...!

Geez, making new friends! I haven't moved from where I stay in 17 years so this is gonna be weird! It's not that I don't have social skills...

Is Bebo still blocked? The only place I found I could access it was at DXB.

School? lol I've been here all my life and I got to know most of my 'friends' from school and university... Social life is rather limited here compared to other parts of the world I won't be going to school in Dubai, which brings me to a question....can I gain employment in Dubai, even though I'm 1...

My Dad's wife is Azeri/Tatar/Russian and as she and her family speak Russian, I'd love to learn it. Also, my dad used to work/live in Azerbaijan for 4 years before moving to Dubai, so I fell in love with the place when I was visiting. Spanish as well, just because I like it and it's one of the most ...

Does anyone have a link or photos of the Burj al Arab during the construction phase? I have only been able to find 2 photos on the net - one on travelimages.com and another site which I forget.

Cheers,

Ross

I looked for Burj al Arab on YouTube and theres a clip from the National Geographic channel and it shows you the construction of the Burj al Arab, which was really interesting. The link to the video is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7A7d67A24Qo&eurl= if anyone is interested. Ross :D EDIT: P.S. ...

Are you talking about channels such as Sky Sports 1, Sky Sports 2, Sky Movies 1, Sky Movies 2, Sky One, BBC 1, BBC 2, ITV1, Channel 4 etc.?

If so please PM me with more details! Such as where to get the box, where to sign on the dotted line!

I checked out the help section on the website and it says that Freeview is only available to UK customers, not those living abroad.

Why not put them in your suitcase? If you can't get them in the tin/briefcase they're kept in into your suitcase, just throw the loose chips in, along with the dealer button and the decks of cards etc.

The things I've got past customs worldwide.....

Well I'll possibly be taking the set I get for Xmas out so if this thread still lives until then, I'll let you know how it goes!

My Dad heard from an ex work collegue that Skype was the way to go, and seeing as my Dad still does frequent business with this collegue then Skype is almost invaluable to them. So when it came to him downloading Skype....the good ol' Etisalat blocked message came up. We found an alternative option ...

You right click the song in the iTunes library then select Get Info (or something like that) Then there is a section called Artwork.

Then of course, the big finale, opened his door to spit. Yup that would be the kind of manerisms I don't particularly like in ppl.... We were also caught up in traffic on SZR and have seen a few people open their doors to spit. It's the single most disgusting thing that someone can do is spitting. ...

Ok so Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (phew!) was released here in the UK today, and I'm away to book tickets for me and a few mates to go and see it in Aberdeen tomorrow. So I was just wondering, will the film be shown in Dubai, or will it be bann...

rossbaku

Well, I went to see Borat on Friday and it was excellent! Very very funny.

It's the most politically incorrect, racist, sexist film you'll ever see in your life!

I don't want to give too much away but if that sounds like your kind of humour (dry and raw) then watch this film!

Hi all,

Can someone please confirm to me whether the UK Visit Visa validity period is 30 or 60 days? I heard somewhere that it has been cut back to 30 days but my information may be out of date. (This is the visa that is issued at the airport).

Ross

rossbaku

Sorry I meant the visa that is issued at the Dubai Airport to UK citizens.

Ross

Dobre Utro.
