Get an Arabic course on tape/CD/MP3 player and listen in car.

British Council has courses.

You won't need to learn it as much as you think but it is a good thing to do .

Dubai Marina good location for DIC. Also Greens. Maybe Jumeirah/Umm Suqeim if you want to share a villa. Apartments have long waiting lists in those areas. You should get a good choice of 1 bdrms for 90k. Maybe a 2 bedroom if you're lucky. Better Homes, Asteco, Landmark are letting agents worth tryi...

Very good. Thanks for the warning. Just a small clarification would be appreciated...

Exactly how are they a scam?

Ok, try these. Did you search the forum also? I'll be surprised if there aren't other car websites already posted.

autodealer.ae
evolve.ae forum - not sure if that's exactly what you want

dubizzle.com and gulfnews.com have classifieds

maybe dubaidonkey.com or is that only jobs?

Hi, My wife and I and very seriously considering a move to Dubai after we have both completed our current projects. I would expect this question has been asked on more than one occasion but I'm look for some feed back on Dubai and employment for our expertise. What question? So far you said you wer...

Sound barrier is about 1200 km/h.

You could have saved yourself all that typing by just referring him to the SEARCH button or Dubai Expat Help Forum! hahahahahahahaha Thanks for the tip, that's a very clever idea which I'll try and remember. But er, why did you type out everything I said again? That must have taken you a long time ...

Just read your other witty and helpful posts so now my answer is who cares?

What, damn, you mean I could have just used the "quote" button instead? Dayummmmmmmm. What's the quote button :? ? If I want to quote something someone said, I put the monitor on the scanner and scan in the screen, then crop out the image of the previous post, reduce the size in photoshop...

The question itself was stereotypical, so how do you expect not to get a stereotypical answer ? ... i am sorry but i fail to see how this is a cultural discussion, but rather a discussion about peoples attitudes regardless of where they are from. I think this point has been made in a more subtle wa...

Thongs are fine - maybe not in the office though depending on where you work. Singlets for a bloke in public will look a little odd but it's not unheard of. Lots of women wear singlets/strappy tops in public. Skirts/shorts are common too.

Hi, I am 15 from Australia and my father just took on a job in dubai. I am going to emirates international school. It seems like a nice school. Which one? Umm Suqeim (older one) or um Springs/Meadows/Fields/whatever that area is? I think they're both reasonably good for students. Good mix of nation...

- there is no personal tax but are there any other salary deductions on salaries in UAE (social insurance, health insurance etc.) or the gross salary equals to net? Sometimes, depends on the company. - what's important when negotiating the package? Should I bid for accommodation in the first place ...

I've not lived in Singapore but when visiting there I found it very orderly and nice. I prefer the chaos of Dubai.

Singapore is the girl or boy your parents want you to marry. Dubai is the one you want.

I use an i-mate (O2). It's useful to have a box that does everything and is compact but it doesn't do anything very well. Email and sms is quite good though. the newer i-mates look better.

www.pocketpcdubai.com is a good site for PPC and PDA information.

I'm curious about this, have sometimes thought about getting windows tinted but ...

How much difference does it make to inside temperature when parked in sun?

How noticeable is it when driving at night (for the driver trying to see I mean)?

You know you can edit your posts ?

AFAIK children have to go to school but I don't know if proof of school registration is needed when applying for a residence visa. You'd probably enter the country on a visit visa initially anyway.

Don't go shirts-off though as this isn't generally tolerated by either fun. I think there is actually a regulation saying shirts-off is not permitted in public (except presumably at beaches). By the way, if you visit Sharjah, they have Decency Laws meaning strappy tops, singlets, shorts and bum-tho...

oh my gosh I didn't know there were two...All i did was sit the exams...It's the one near Jumeirah road?? Probably the one in Umm Suqeim then, assuming you mean Jumeirah Beach Rd. I chose it because it's the american system and this fits in better with the australian schooling system if I want to r...

Camera quality is rubbish, phone quality is average (my old nokia antique has better sound), MP3 sound is average, using internet is slow etc.

Thanks for the info. I'd heard about V-cool and wondered what it was. Good to know .

I've seen this happen too. Probably the sender deleted the message before you viewed it.

Or, maybe you viewed the message already before clicking on email link?

Not quite but the effect is as if the answer is yes. There's only ever one copy of the PM in the database. Until you view it, the sender can delete it from the database (by deleting it from their outbox). After you view it, it's still in the same place in the database but it shows in the sender's se...

Yes.

The DIFX opened with four member banks – CSFB (Europe) Ltd, Deutsche Bank AG, HSBC Bank plc and UBS AG.

Can anyone help? :( I think tourists get medical care free if it's an emergency. Residents are supposed to have insurance. There's been some changes recently, there may be a government scheme you can sign up to which is cheaper than private schemes (there used to be government health cards anyway)....

I have another question. If I were to transfer with UBS, would I pay taxes on my income as opposed to moving to Dubai and getting a job for a local company. Thanks again for your help and I'm sure we'll be chatting soon. That depends on your tax residency status which depends on where you're living...
