I still need some info out of the one in Etisalat site about getting Blackberry Internet service from Etisalat. As I travel out of UAE a lot, I'll get global roaming package (295 AED/month). - Push email: not all email to be pushed, only selected emails. Is it possible? - Most important: since BB is...

Last week when I bought external harddisk I saw some at shops of Al Ain Center, Bur Dubai.

You can get 3*-ish for 300-350 AED/night (80-90 USD) such as Regent Palace hotel, Ramee hotel apt, London Crown, etc. All in downtown Bur Dubai area.

Inform us the dealer name for our notice.

Just to add on the retail shops part. I bet you didn't go to Al Dhiyafah road or Al Karama or Meena Bazaar area

Lots lots of small (Indian) shops.

Normally I record TV programs on the fly (via AV plugs) using portable media player (Vosonic) into MP4 format. But I'm not satisfied with it (not very good quality). - How to capture video (AV/RF plugs or DVB stream) from e-Vision cable box (some kids channels) to the laptop (DivX/XviD/HD format) ov...

Happy with NBD.

Where in Dubai a place where we can donate some used but still usable clothes, shoes, toys, households, etc? Kind like Salvation Army or orphanage? There's "too much" (blame DSS and DSF) used but still usable clothes and stuffs at home that we'd like to throw out. Instead to put in the gar...

Is it public or private (arranged by DF members)? In the big hall or rooms?
Actually I'm looking for karaoke rooms, is there any in Dubai?

If you want private rooms you'll have to go to Harry Gatto or Hibiki.

Whereabouts? How much? Many latest English songs?

"never actually processed" is different than "before the visa was completed" (means in the process of medical/immigration/etc). The first, may be not. The second, could be.
But then they're still holding your passport, aren't they?

It think these packages are quite cheap (if you're on honeymoon):

Fly to India separately.

PS: It think this should be in Travel forum.

Forgot one thing. Since our visas were business visas, fortunately the company we visited had offices in France as well as in Germany, so we asked invitation letters from Germany office even though we visited France office. "Fake" flight/hotel bookings were made accordingly to support, the...

Drink plenty of water.
Get antibiotics like Augmentin.
For prevention and fitness, drink Vitamin C like Cal-C-Vita effervescent (Calcium+1000mg Vit C).

Only fixed deposit can give you some interests.
Unless your savings is millions of Dirhams, it's not worth it to expect interests from only savings account, which normally only around 1%/pa (and that would be paid every quarter/half year!).

Last time I try some restaurants in Madinat Jumeirah (except Noodle House) they kick us out. No kids allowed.

Entertainment for the parents or kids (like a playground)?
The latter, I would still prefer food courts of malls (MOE/City Center). Magic Planet is only next to it.

xty

I think restaurants are not for kids (particularly in the evening) - specially not toddlers or misbehaved one. It is incosiderate for other dinners many of whom got a babysitter themselves so they can enjoy an evening at a quiet restaurant. There is a place and a time for everytthing... But my daug...

NO DON'T take antibiotics! They only work on bacterial infections, most of these things are viral and antibiotics will do absolutely nothing. I cannot stand the fact that you can buy these things over the counter like sweets, and most people don't know what they need to take them for. This is the r...

Also if they keep giving you the same stuff and it's not helping, why don't you question their judgement? Because none of us were doctors nor know much about medicine and stuff. If we knew, we wouldn't have to go to the hospital/doctor, would we? ;) They ONLY work on bacterial infections, if it's v...

Surely being prescribed antibiotics for minor ailments should ring alarm bells? The whole health industry incentives are skewed to make it too easy to "overtreat" patients for profit rather than just tell them to continue as normal, take some vitamins and let your body do the rest. People...

Just to share you all in case you have the same case as mine. This is the result of action I took of my previous post . Heres' the long story: My apartment rent contract (first) is due by end of July. Few weeks ago I called the RE (real estate agent who managed my apt building) asking why they had n...

you were lucky XTY, if i were your landlord you would have not got another contract and given you 2 weeks notice to find another appt. I know it sounds harsh but that life mate Nope, there's no clause in my contract that they had the rights to kick me out in 2 weeks time (nor any clause to mention ...

Maaad Landlords do not have to specify a reason to renew a contract. :wink: :wink: Not if we got already the proof (new unsigned contract with higher rate) in hand. Means if the landlord then kick you out, you and the court know obviously that they'd kick because they want to re-let and increase th...

Bought HDD player (external case), ePro brand, it didn't work when plugging to TV. I'm sure because I tested with my friend's (different brand). Asked for an immediate replacement (I saw they still have the stocks), instead they sent the broken thing to the distributor. Couldn't promise when it'd be...

landlord does not, i repeat does not have to renew a contract. I understood. It's landlord/owner decision whether they want to continue to let their properties or not. However, they should give early notice (2-6 months) to the tenants. Now the question is that this "notification" clause, ...

There are plenty of new & cheaper apts in Al Ghusais, 2BR for max 80K. Not to far also from Festival City, just separated by the airport.
