Degree is required only when you're applying for visa (for designation/job title in the visa). Without degree, you'll probably won't get a manager title. In reality, you might already know that in IT a degree is not really required. Experiences, skills, attitudes, and professionalism are the most im...

Install DU Meter and see what's your real bandwidth.
I have 512 kbps at home at top it can still go up to 50 kBps when downloading. I can't get 100% (64kBps), but I guess noone can't too unless you have leased line (1:1).

64KBps (=512Kbps) is not good enough for 1Mbps connection. only 50%. consider 70% and up.

I have one of those crappy Siemens Speedstream the Etisalat gives you - I am sure its not right drops connections from the next room all the time. I think I will try and buy a Linksys WRT54G if i can get one - had one in the UK and it was a great bit of kit. Anyone got any other to advise on (w rou...

There are so many good universities in France or in UK (which is just a couple hours away from Lille by train). Why in Dubai? Most of universities/colleges in Dubai are only affiliates.

Thanks for the info. So, my friends have managed to get Greek (Schengen) visas with all the hassles. Those Greek embassies (in Jakarta, in Bangkok, in Abu Dhabi where my friends and we applied for the visas) are all out of their mind! It's like we're terrorists or something. I understand if it were ...

Yes i can confirm that, you can enter anywhere in the schengen states as you arrive from your international destination then any flights you take in Europe are considered "internal" and you wont even have to go through immigration. so for example if you fly for example KLM to Finland you ...

i Know that it's not the best university but i can't pay 20000$ for a bachelor! :shock: By the way, there are many university in france, that's true!but diplomas aren't known very well out of France! I don't know for undergraduate, but I've seen that for graduate (business school) in Dubai/Sharjah ...

Dubai Girl I am living in Milan where I am working as Sales Director of MENA Area Middle East North Africa Region. I have an apartment in Sharjah where I am staying a week every month.

Shouldn't it be the guy who'd find infos like this? just kidding

Take a look my old post in Dubai Auto section.

Anyone knows if there's an event or two for the children on the Easter day (Sunday)? Like finding eggs. Or egg painting. etc At malls or parks or somewhere? I'd like to bring my daughter and have her some fun.

so if i'd like to get a job with highest wage in dubai after my bachelor it's better for me to pass my bachelor in London for example? correct, discrimination is there. it sucks and not fair for some people but that's the fact. Because accomodation and fees are lowest than in dubai!!! that's right....

that's too bad, i thought that Dubai will be a better place in order to boost my CV...so if i want to work in dubai i think i should pass my bachelor in London first and then try to get a job in dubai! do you if there a lot of algerians (i was born in france but my roots are from algeria :D ) in du...

Don't suggest City Center I couldn't find professional skates there.
I think there should be some specialized shop.

I'm not sure, but you may try GoSport in MOE or Ibn Battuta.

Those in Lemongrass food stall (Ibn Battuta Mall) are all Thais That's all I know.

If you need to rent apartment and car straightaway (plus other costs), you need at least to have 20-25K in hand (first 3-4 months rent + commission + deposit + utilities + furnishing). I doubt the bank will give you loan for short time. Normally you may ask to employer (when negotiating) for advance...

I don't think you can. I've tried before (using Indonesian passport which unfortunately falls under the "2 weeks" rules too). I was even once a resident of France, travels in/to Europe/Schengen countries many many times. I had invitation letter from the French company, my office in Dubai, ...

This is great. The outgoing SMS/calls are more expensive than normal (from local number). But for incoming while roaming, this is what I'm looking for, even better (free). I'll try this one.

No problem! A friend of mine is the architect who provided new style of San Siro stadium with VIP lounges with glasses and bar restaurant... Let me know your wishes and I will try to satisfy! This is great! Thanks in advance. I've been to San Siro couple of times and once watched the match. It was ...

A friend of mine showed some pictures about a big traditional/flea market in Moscow that sells many Russian stuffs and souvenirs like Faberge eggs, Matryoshka, and communist-era old stuffs. Quite interesting. I forget the name of the market/area. You may check also some tips in virtualtourist.com Th...

And what do you fancy to do? Shopping? Sport? Traditional? Food? etc etc

The housing allowance won't be enough. The air ticket won't be enough to cover both of you (return). Transportation is more than enough for renting small sedan. But what the heck... you got plenty of money from other posts (basic & others). Just take it! Something old, stylish... old villas in J...

Definitely you'll be limited to malls hoping. You can't do anything outside, especially in the desert, even at night it's still too hot & humid.

Yes... PC-to-PC voice chat (Skype/YM) is always free (and not banned)

I believe this should go to the next door (Dubai High Tech forum). Where did you buy the modem/router. There's a chance that if you buy the modem/router from one country it will not work on another country. I had to set manually VCI and VPI settings when using a modem used/bought in Paris to be used...

I use YM voice chat + webcam almost every day to chat with my family in Dubai when I'm traveling. I have no problem
