Mate a trip to Alaska isn't that expensive. Rio's pretty cheap as well. i always wanted to see aurora (fairbanks?), also actually i was thinking that trip might include also trip down to canada (down to vancouver, to see the place if i'd move there someday) by sea or land (train?). thinking also if...

HOWEVER, under normal circumstances the amount of benefit that you would gain (gratuity) at the premature termination of a contract is negligible - i calculated once that if you terminated your (indefinite) contract after between 3 and 5 years into the contract your gratuity was about the equivalen...

yes, but you also have to read Article 137: Article 137 Where a worker under an indefinite term contract abandons his work at his own initiative after a continuous service of not less than one year and not more than three years, he shall be entitled to one-third of the severance pay provided for in...

its much better on a limited contract, and you will get 3 months notice if you get laid off Notice is not "that" important but compensation is. I believe both workers having limited or unlimited contracts are entitled for 3 months compensation (based on last basic salary) when arbitrarily...

Check the nearest post office of the destination address, or check the central post office in Karama. Happened to me once when it's supposed to be sent to office address in DIC (they won't even deliver it to a very obvious address), then I went to Wasl post office. They checked with my name and foun...

Don't know about AD, but I exchanged my Bahraini license to Dubai license back in 2005 within half an hour without any class or driving test. And for sure I'm not citizen of "special countries" (US/EU) nor GCC. I heard you can't no longer exchange the license (from other GCC countries). Yo...

For authentic Chinese food, go to Lam Kwai Fong or Spring Bamboo, near Lamcy/American Hospital. The one in Dragon Mart also taste Ok.

For Indonesian food, there are 4 restaurants in Dubai (all in Karama) and 2 in Abu Dhabi (all near Abu Dhabi mall).

xty

Ohh, okay. Must try the Indonesian food there. :) And could anyone tell me where to eat buffet with cheap prices and good food? I would love to eat buffet when my budget is low there. Let me know if you need the location of Indonesian restaurants and type of foods you like. Buffet for which kind of...

So I just sold my own car (SUV) just to be safe in this difficult situation. If it gets better, I'd buy another one, but this time I'm thinking of a sports car. I've seen variouse brands/models advertised on dubizzle in the range of 60-80K (years vary). If I have that kind of budget, which following...

= Don't forget the Chevy Lumina SS renamed the CSV. Same motor as the corvette. Just look at the pedal at your doing 100. Also a full sized 4 door so can have dual purpose aswell. Not to expensive to maintain. 350Z although I personally don't like the exterior and interior styling one bit. It is wh...

350z, very solid reliability, and if you can find a 2006 and above they have the revised engine with a bit more horsepower and less problems than the previous models. The 6 speed manual is butter-smooth and has a higher horsepower rating (316 flywheel), but the 5-speed sequential is also decently q...

ps: beware, dubai police website doesn't list all the violations!!! i swear i had paid all by online, but asked 200 dhs again when renewing registration back in dec.

xty

the only time i had "accident"was when a guy hit my front bumper when parking. got crack on it, nothing really serious though. that guy tried to escape but i managed to chase and bang his window to stop him. i called the police for report & insurance. but what amazed me was that he sai...

xty

not worth the hassles and time for 200 dhs. i paid anyway as i had to renew the registration anyway.
oh btw, the violation was in feb 2008 and i renewed it in dec 2008. how on earth i could prove it? the website has no violation/payment history to print or something. crap!

xty

And xty, dude, in these times, you would be shooting yourself in the foot by replacing your small SUV with a sports car, of all things. For one thing, it costs MORE to maintain and harder to sell when the tasty hits the fan. I only say this because you said you wanted to be on the safe side monetar...

I thought you owned a Kia Sportage for some reason. Did you? I owned Tucson V6 2.7L. And this friend's car is Tucson too (but 2.0L). Man, I can tell now that I want my next car (whichever type) at least having V6 ;) No regret having Tucson V6. I would buy it again if I'd choose a compact & budg...

I dont see what difference it will make apart from stopping the flood of expats leaving immediately rather than a few months later. Those that have lost jobs etc in all probability wont find re-employment, and certainly wont have enough funds to stay on without jobs. It's been more than a month I a...

I think the problem lies in the taxi company itself. How strict they (the management) want to apply the policy, discipline, and rules on complaints made by passengers against the drivers. In my home country, particularly the capital city, there are several taxi companies. One company is highly recom...

that's one disciplinary action i'm talking about.

There are some nice Italian pizza restaurants on JBR's The Walk, which is just next door of Marina.

Great places. Wish my 4WD powerful enough to go there.

Was Tucson V6 2.7L (mine, sold) Now Tucson 2.0L (friend's who left for good abandoning the car) Though it has sports mode gear and automatic 4WD locking, but it's not really powerful for deep sands like on the picture (in the middle of nowhere, just for taking photographs of sand dunes with no foots...

How do you manage to add photos to your posts? :shock: Like GT said, upload to free web (or your own web) that can host images AND allow you to get the direct link (URL/address) to that image like tinypic.com, imageshack.us, photobucket.com The rest is : Can I post Images? http://dubaiforums.com/fa...
