It would be good for people to look ahead and do an early assessment/self reflection to make up what they really want in life. Don't get unhappy in the long run, because you will regret it one day. That's one good point. I'm in that situation at the moment. Have a really big dilemma and need to &qu...

next year, Milan main sponsor almost certain will be Emirates. Milan has been demanding for years for a new stadium, which Emirates has proved it to Arsenal. Though later denied, this takeover may not be impossible in the future... ------------- Report: Milan Poised For Takeover By Billionaire Ruler...

But the fact that many Italian club owners (including Milan) are complaining about higher tax than other European countries (Spain/England). That's one of the reason why Italian clubs in fact couldn't buy expensive players and are struggling these years to keep the balance sheet. Owning a stadium me...

Come on... you know that "provide" here doesn't mean "free". But still... Arsenal own stadium, with Emirates name.

That makes me wonder... actually I'd be surprised if they (Emirates/Dubai) takes over now. Do they even have the money?

just buy from the original counters/shops. better yet to wait for sale ;) be warned though. the other day there was a sale on one of the reputable watch chain shops in the mall (not karama!). for seiko sportura selling for 1000 dhs only (original price is more than 2500 dhs). after comparing careful...

Want to participate and interested in getting more info, but no UAE country listed under Middle East in WFP website and can't find the facebook group (as mentioned on 7days' article). Anyone got the details?

Hyundai's and Kia's are disposable cars. They're not meant to last. I disagree. Despite higher depreciation value (5-10% more than Japanese car), had myself Tucson V6 2.7L. Very satisfied esp with it's V6 engine (no other V6 CUV/SUV comes close within this price range) and smoothness/stability runn...

there's Time Cafe (sports) at Ramee Regal hotel near Maktoum bridge, but don't know if they will show it (if they have ART network).
would love to know too (the official/confirmed one).

I heard Irish Village may also have it. That could be a better place.

If there were Milan, they would've won it
But I'd say Barca will be the champions. 2-1.

Cool! Do you know if there will be cover charge or something? Their website sucks!

Buying a Hundai or a Kia is throwing your money away, pure and simple!!!

If you live in Dubai then you'd know how worse American cars' depreciation is. After all, which cars have no depreciation value?

So, what is everyone else watching? I need some new shows to download? Not necessarily new but I've downloaded: - 43 gigs of Friends (all 10 seasons) - Arrested Development (all 3 seasons) - Heroes (all 3 seasons) - Pickup Artist (all 2 seasons) - Smallville (all 8 seasons) - Shaun The Sheep (all 2...

Do we (the buyers of new cars) even have the choice for NOT to get service in authorized dealer? Suppose we don't opt for maintenance service contract, the moment they find out that we get the service ourselves or third party (for cheaper/better), they could void the warranty! Moreover there's "...

If you're into non tv series stuff (talks and docos), you can't go past the Ted Talks . Some absolutely brilliant stuff there. I agree. One that fascinates me is how to use Wii remote into a digital whiteboard, touchscreen, and headmounted 3D viewer. This kind of invention is brilliant, that doesn'...

Jay Leno, Conan O'Brien, and David Letterman shows have always been my favorite talk shows. The successors (Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon) can't match them!
Mythbusters & Brainiac are interesting documentaries too.

but one thing to remember...
the more we expect the more we loose.
just let it flow... you'll know it only when you feel/experience it
love is limited and temporary.
only God's love lasts forever.

Get a V6 engine for a different satisfying experience!
If you concerned about the budget, then Tucson V6 2.7L is the most affordable one (less than 70K) and I was satisfied.

Yes it will take couple of weeks (fastest one week) to apply for Schengen. The application process has been outsourced to VFS. And they mostly will give the visa validity date only according to the tickets! If you gave all the documents (tickets, hotel booking, bank statements) mostly you will get i...

As predicted, Barca won!
... and Milan are still the last team to successfully defend the trophy
Watch out for next year.

There's no Haagen Dazs' rhum raisin here :( There's one from London Dairy but minus rhum off course. The biggest cineplex would probably Grand Cinemas at Ibn Battuta Mall. There's IMAX 3D too. I prefer CineStar (City Centre, MoE) over Grand. Tried Grand Festival City when it was newly opened. The se...

Exactly. New way to collect (fine) money?

there are couple of tables next to the billyard/food court of musalla tower & computer mall (bur dubai). not a lux place but ok.

It had nothing to do with the alcohol. Did you ever notice those little tags that are stuck to your luggage? They are not put there for decoration. Each tag represents something. Their luggage was "flagged" when it went through the screening process. What tag? Never had any, nor seen anyo...

Germany will ban the sale of it, following other countries as Denmark, Norway and Uruguay, etc.

Any official reference?
No addiction so far, so it may not be true.

few places:
- toys r us store at festival city sells some costumes.
- party super store near welcare hospital/aviation club (garhoud) sells all party stuffs including costumes.
- costumes rental shop on dhiyafah road (satwa).

true that most of products in here are more expensive than other parts of the world, except probably car and petrol. one reason because of monopoly practice. second is because most of them are imported, consider also transportation cost, 5% import/customs tax, storage cost, and distribution cost. es...

redbull contains caffeine, that's probably the reason, not the redbull itself (as opposed to other brands). overdrinking is never good. moreover with bad body shape (overweight).
