In regards to pricing, you are right in that we quote prices according to approximate square footage, i.e. the larger the car the higher the price. The price you got was excellent, good job with the negotiating skills What negotiation? The price was fixed. And as I told earlier, I should have got c...

Hi XTY, 3M Authorized Dealers try to charge per size as much as possible, thus there are 5 categories: small cars, medium cars, large cars, 4x4's and Extra Large 4x4's. It would get quite complicated to have a different price for every vehicle in the market and measuring every car that drives into ...

With apparently newer version of Facebook, now they use another server (fbcdn.net) to serve the contents of the site (image, scripts, etc), instead of facebook.com. Etisalat doesn't block facebook.com domain but unfortunately it blocks fbcdn.net, therefore it doesn't display & work properly. Eit...

its a small dog, so a small patch of grass that allows dogs on is enough. If I were the landlord or the neighbors of you, it's not about big or small, it's how frequent & loud the dog barks ;) Think about a Pomerian, small but very noisy ;) There are not much greeneries in Dubai and there's too...

Based on friend's experience. 1. Go to Dubai Courts and open a case (with necessary documents) and have an appointment in Family Guidance section (a must before proceeding to court). 2. If both can't reconcile, they make a reference letter for you to register a case at the court (Registration Sectio...

I'm considering relocating my child school (from Al Ghusais) and at the same time my apt (from Karama) to somewhere in Al Barsha (nearer to office in DIC). However it's mandatory that I need a daycare for the child (afternoon after school till evening after office) nearby the place too. Anyone knows?

You should make it private.

Congratulation to publish it, it's a matter of time when this will be blocked as well.

PS: I'm using it, works great, but a bit slow lately and sometimes got disconnected.

Due to some personal/family reason, I must stay in UAE probably for very long time. At the moment I'm employed/sponsored by my current employer in DIC, but it doesn't mean I'll be unemployed, but rather to have a safeguard if something goes wrong with current company then I can switch to another job...

How much the extra would you pay? Just pay if it's worth the money than to move out (again you'll pay for commission, deposit, and all the hassles). You're lucky that you get only 5% increase. In my case, the landlord/agent doesn't want to renew and ask me to leave without notice as per law (min 90 ...

Supposed I open the case. First, no one knows how long it will take. Second, I could get court hearing schedule when I'll be on vacation to home country (end of July till mid of August). The case could be closed if I couldn't attend the hearing at court. When coming back from vacation, I would have ...

Looking for spacious 1BR hall apartment (unfurnished) with facilities especially reserved car park.

Many Western expats share apartment somewhere in Bur Dubai/Golden Sands area which close to convention centre. Check out newspaper or ads board in Spinney's supermarket nearby there.

Either it will be bounced back to the sender or stuck in central/nearby post office for some times. Happened both to me.

If it's registered, check the status if possible. When the goods has arrived at post office, then you (receiver) can come and collect (showing an ID).

please disregard now.

* Though you can consume alcohol in bars/hotels freely and home (if you have permission), just don't drink it in public or get drunk. * Don't stare or take photos of locals especially the women with black abayas. It's considered offensive. Unless for some tourist spots like at Heritage Village, some...

Greens is just across the street from DIC (it's only 200 meters by walk through a flyover/interchange), but you need to make long turns to cross by car. DIC to Greens, turn near Marina. Greens to DIC, take the bridge Barsha South to new Media City. But if I were to choose, I would definitely choose ...

Bur Dubai (Golden Sands area) could be an alternative. mid-up class, lots of shops, coffee shops, supermarket, bars, hotels, restaurants, almost anything you can find by walk. Marina is a big area. Some buildings may not be close to those places as you might think. Except the original/first Dubai Ma...

Bringing the child, could be possible. The father will sponsor the child (according to the birth certificate). He will arrive with the child. You will (must) arrive separately under your new employer's sponsorship, can't be sponsored by your 'husband' as I believe you both don't have marriage certif...

As there's none in Dubai, I bought underwater camera worth $700 through eBay which I checked that it has a real store in Utah, US. Due to urgency, I opted for UPS door-to-door delivery that costs $100 more than mail post (which I'd avoid at all time due to bad experience in the past with Emirates Po...

Just curious, I found many Asian women hooked up (or eventually getting married) with white men. But I found it rare for Asian men hooked up with white women (or the other way around). I'm referring Asian here as South East Asian (Indonesian, Filipino, Singaporean, Malaysian, Thai, etc) and East Asi...

Before going there call to the one of the hotel (La Meridian, Oceanic...) about harmfull algae. It has been real problem there this fall. Swimming with algae is dangerous for your health and not really pleasant - a lot of rotten fish on the surface of the Ocean. My post was a year ago ;) About alga...

sakina, a good wife will stick with the husband even in difficult situation, for good for bad in sickness and health. the vow and commitment have no meaning for you? after all you chose to be in this path with him (by taking advantage of him for getting green card?). unless you were forced to get ma...

Instead in studio, have it outdoor for more fun pics.
20x24" will cost you a fortune. I printed 8x10", costs about 50 AED per sheet.
Frames are everywhere, Ikea or a shop next to Lamcy Plaza food court.

No need for lawyer if BOTH of you mutually agreed on the divorce. BOTH of you go to Family Counseling section first at Dubai Court. Normally they will settle the couples first, but if you both agreed, then it would be easy and fast. You can't open a divorce case at court without their recommendation...
