Has been living in Dubai for quite some times but haven't got a chance to do photography hunting of Dubai's REAL traditional stuffs. Ok, noted for activities around dhow harbour and heritage village. What else? Forget about Madinat Jumeirah ;) So what's exactly I can find in Bur Dubai and Deira trad...

You mentioned you will be provided by the company a 1BR apt (the biggest expense of all), so it means 4500 is mostly for groceries and daily expenses. Roughly, you can survive with that amount but you can't save a lot. And forget about 2BR apt, it's too costly.

xty

Don't have cat. But like to bring my daughter there as well as taking some photographs. Will it be open to public?

xty

Wish I had spare time, lots of work from office and need to spend sometime with my family in the evening, otherwise I'll take the job (I have experience in osComm).

Do you mean Adobe PS (Photoshop)?

Just curious, what's the standard rate of this kind of job?

xty

@zam: no, the OP said they will be provided 1BR apt separately OUT OF the 4500 AED per month for daily expenses. at least that's what I catch. OP, please reconfirm. 4500 AED per month, one can survive with this amount decently (normal meal, once a week going to mall or eat outside, public transporta...

Never opted for such service but Etisalat (GSM) sends me almost everyday for what I called scams. Latest scam: From "GoodLuck" : "Ramadan Kareem! Your mobile shortlisted for next draw DH20000 & 1000 for 5 people. To be rank1 send max SMS to xxxx H Hindi A Arabic E English & ge...

I'm in IT too and had been few times moving between companies and countries, mostly direct (no recruitment agents involved). When I had new job out of the country (after some interviews and emails for negotiation and confirmation), I'd make sure that all are written in the contract and ask them to s...

In that case, isn't there any protection (like spam/virus protection in email) in Etisalat gateway itself (based on customer's service preferences)? At least Etisalat must have the control over these 4 digits premium numbers (locally). They should have do something with it, e.g. to ban when violates...

Thanks. Do you know info about the race schedule and other info?

IMO Golden Sands area supposed to be one of the better and reasonable residential area in Dubai, yet with comfortable of proximity to essential things (stores, restaurants, etc). There are lots of EU/US expats living there. It's not so crowded like Meena Bazaar, Karama, or Satwa. Al Barsha area or T...

Thailand is beautiful. Bangkok is great. And most are very cheap. Been living there for one year. For night life, Bangkok is a heaven. From sidewalk food stalls to expensive restaurants. From live bands to bars/clubs. From massages to exotic shows. From beautiful skinny girls to transsxuals. General...

If you are a man, you'll know how differentiate them :D Some night life places in Bangkok: - Suan Lum night bazaar for cheap nice foods and beers and live music from local bands (not really good though). But I like the environment... and those sxy dancers :D - Patpong, Soi Cowboy, Sukhumvit Soi 4 (n...

Finally thank you Someone who could understand what I was talking about. Thanks for the classification. btw I heard half of dancers and stuff in bars are u know the trans. I got some more questions. can I pm u. If u dont mind!! You're welcome. Not really exactly, depends on which bars/clubs you vis...

Good luck with your stay. Barsha is a good place. It's even nearer to my workplace in DIC. But for me, first it's a bit more expensive (though I still can afford) and second there's nothing there (yet) except Emirates Mall. I guess different people have different purposes. Myself, I'd prefer proximi...

So this will be my first car to own. Previously I just rented from rental company or borrowed from my office. I don't know much other than basics about car ( it's obvious as I've never had one ;) ). What do you think of either purchasing new car or second hand? Purpose: daily office trip, almost nig...

I guess it has been a common rumour, hasn't it? (in Dubai, when got accident or warranty expired). Is that true?
And what about reliability over Jap's?

Personally I don't like Jap's that much either. Lack of security. Bumper is just a cosmetics.

Confused.

I guess the headrests option would be the most suitable for the kids. as to the rest I really have no idea as i am a true novice. I'd appreciate it if you could enlighten me as to what the single and double DIN means ... Tx Another alternative is to buy Portable Media Player (PMP) like Vosonic 8360...

Thanks for the info. After reading some reviews, including drivearabia you promoted (thanks), I've narrowed my choices on the SUV part (I take out RAV4 as I guess it's out of my budget): 2-4 years second hand: honda crv, nissan xtrail, hyundai tucson (I heard the engine is similar to Toyota's?) What...

Is that bad? Hmm I guess I should stick to new compact/sedan cars (narrowed to Tiida or Mazda 3)? As I can't afford to buy new SUV

xty

your question is too broad... what do you like to do?

going to malls, cinemas, clubs, parks, trip out of town, doing sports, stay at home, etc. almost anything you can imagine.

Naahhh it's too hot here

Antarctica (can't afford yet the travel cost)

In 2001 to Paris (14 hours). First flight ever (even never had domestic flights)! First time out of home country, for working. Scared of turbulence and goofy all the time on how to "behave" on meals, drinks, seats, etc

Check http://www.lyngsat.com to know all the satellites positions and programs. It has SatTracker that can tell if you can point (azimuth, elevation) to specific satellite from any place in the world. Apparently you still can point to Hotbird 13°E from Dubai (azimuth to South West, elevation about 3...

Yeah, last Saturday was like being hit by a sledge hammer! There's no way Inter can beat Milan :D But overall I'm quite satisfied with Milan's fighting spirits, seeing their poor performance in the last few games. The best derby so far, second to 6-0 win few seasons ago :D I suppose if it's digital ...

xty

Thanks in advance. When you'll be coming? The rest we'll do by PM ;) BTW, apparently coolstreaming.com has been defunct (?). Tried few streams, (one of them is http://wwitv.com) but can't find Milan Channel yet. After all, most of the stream quality is not very good (I'd like to record or something).

Anyone knows if there's any travel sites where I can check schedule and get a ticket fare quote (real, instant, actual fare not full fare)?

xty

I disagree that an African American would be paid less than a Caucasian in the UAE. There is no racism in the UAE if you are black, however you might face prejudice or different treatment if you are South Asian .. Although again i see that happening more often to the unskilled labor and poorer peop...

But if the Asian manager had a foreign passport i think he would be paid the same as his Caucasian colleague. Right ? Could be. That's why I had a wish to have a second passports (e.g. Canadian, etc) for easier travels (almost no visa requirements) and "better" treatments. I wonder if I c...
