Because Skype is blocked, so I don't think you can get it easily. Skype 3 beta will work on Du and Tecom connections. My question is based on where I can get the handsets not if it works. Yes Etisialat block the IP port used for this and skype downloads but it will work on other connections. But no...

What's the break ups? Is it ALL inclusive? Any allowance? What nationality are you?

In general, if it's ALL inclusive, less than 10K a month is tough.

Get a second job.
Unless you have enough cash already to invest on something.

Don't you have work agreement/contract?

It'll be more than OK.

Can someone please post a sticky saying that anything above 300k per year is more than okay? It's getting ridiculous seeing people still worried after getting such high packages. But we need also to put at the same time the figures of the components (food, apt, car, etc) which we think decent (or b...

In my opinion people are using Mac just because it's trendy and looks cool. Except for the people working in Graphics design where Mac is the best. I hesitate to buy Mac because not many Mac-based software comparable as in Windows. Very rare to buy in Middle East. Also not many to download freely. I...

My taste, Miss Japan is not that beautiful and gorgeous. Maybe the judges have different opinion.

Compliments for the cup...not really such a beautiful game.. Real pity for the party in Milan (the city, I mean), team's supporters really destroyed the town, the day after a lot of people were crying for damages.... mmmm not a nice show... :( Thanks ;) I agree. The second leg of semi final with MU...

I had the same problem in my apartment. Ever since moving in last year, it's not that cold. Then it stopped working when the winter is over and we started to use the AC. It's central, so there's nothing we could do about it other than to ask the watchmen/technician to fix. They came, clean and fix t...

You've been visiting Dubai many times, so I guess you know a little bit how it is like, prices, environment, etc. Unless you visited more than 5 years ago or you were only staying in hotel. That would be totally different

UAE Given Brazilian Boost United Arab Emirates chances of Asian Cup success were given a boost with the news that Brazilian midfielder Alexander Oliveira has been granted citizenship and can join the UAE squad for next month’s competition.

(A three-year lease totally costs about the same as the new car price, so in general , divide new car costs by 36 to get monthly rate) Not applicable for small/economy car though. Monthly rent for Lancer approx 1700 AED/month includes insurance & CDW (from big/reputable company). From your gene...

Not applicable for small/economy car though. Monthly rent for Lancer approx 1700 AED/month includes insurance & CDW (from big/reputable company). From your generalized formula: x36 = 61K AED A new Lancer will cost from less than 40K AED. You might be getting ripped off. Hertz will get you into ...

The only thing I did when visiting Mumbai on business trip was just to buy Hard Rock t-shirt (I'm collector) and had dinner there.

I didn't see any interesting spots on the way from airport-hotel-client-hotel-airport.

Not sure of the details. I was talking about long-term leases though, which some people like to do instead of buying. Short-term monthly rental is a different (more expensive) story. I just came up with the lease rate after I saw this: http://www.hertz-uae.com/content/detailedPage.aspx?contentId=14...

He is an indoor cat, he does not go outside, so he would be fine in an apartment, he does not really like little people (kids) as they are too fast and sudden for him. He does not have front claws, so he could not defend himself against another cat. He likes the quiet life and just likes to take th...

Recently I saw promotions on Emirates and Singapore Air, about 1500 AED return (normal fare is around 2000). I don't know if it's still available. Check their sites.

Smoker's Centre to be exact.
In front of Carrefour MOE, Carrefour City Center, Geant Ibn Battuta.
Or maybe in duty free shops (cigar room)?

I'd argue that a Mac is the best in far more fields than graphic design. The open source friendly, BSD underpinnings of Mac OS X makes it for a very good alternative for programmers, web developers, network administrators, scientists/researchers, and more. The user friendly GUI, stability, and secu...

I haven't been living in UK, but just to give a thought that to compare one and the other, it's not only a matter of nominal of the salary (xxx/year) and taxes. We need to break down first in details such as meals, accommodation, transportation, school, entertainment, home furnishing, etc. "How...

Thank you all for your replies and advices! I didn't think really such a lively discussion would start here! Unfortunately I am still not sure whether to get a pc or mac.

Here is my recommendation: save lots of money and go to Las Vegas. Get marry for $60 and have some fun. With the money you save put a downpayment on a villa and then once you have the villa have a party in it (for your friends and family). You will be way ahead of the game. The family and friends t...

My apartment rent contract would be expired on 1st August. Just now I called the agent who manages the building that they would increase the rent price from 65K to 72K (that is 10%+ cap) non-negotiable (non-furnished 1BR in Bur Dubai). * Can someone point me a valid and official statement of this in...

Read through this article 7% is the max and that is providing they did not increase last year. http://archive.gulfnews.com/articles/07/01/01/10093575.html Thanks for the link, I'll go through it. BTW, this is my first contract (one year) with them, so can it be applicable? Update: "No rent inc...

Hi all, My tenancy contract was up for renewal on May 18th, but until now the owner /landlord of where I stay hasn't called me to ask for the new cheques and to give me the new contract.

I have no idea if it's illegal or not.
Else call those second hand or appliance maintenance shops, they'd be happy to collect. At least they can use some parts.
