Just a bunch of chemicals, give me water every time UAE-made water, taken out of desalination plants, and added some chemicals too. what's the difference? ;) too much chemicals on drinks. swine flu on pork. mouth disease on beef. bird flu on chicken. pesticide on vegetables & fruits. heavy meta...

what makes you think that? what are you interested in asian men?

Be thankful then (for being white)

8 years working now. Graduated in 2001. And no, not Mudadala. :-) Are you kidding? Damn you are so lucky. You must be developing top secret software application ;) I have twice of yours experience, had software project director role, but not even earning close to that.... yeah I'm not white, probab...

Again I totally disagree with this. I could earn alot more in the UK. However my quality of life would be lower, so I'll take the trade off thanks. This is the first time I heard that living in Dubai has higher quality of life than in home country. As for most people living here is a pain, had to &...

I would disagree with you XTY. Dubai is an interesting experience, and if one is lucky( friends, job etc) than the quality of life is really excellent. I guess at the end of the day is really boils down to what one is looking for. The difference is lots of westerners come here for the experience. A...

Kaka is now officially Real Madrid player in order to help the club clearing financial crisis! WTH!
I wish Sheikh Mo to buy AC Milan soon, and fire those two fellows Berlusconi & Galliani for making this thing happen

those bastards at milan management should be hung!

*hard core milan fan*

As a fan I've always dreamt of the two playing together. A real treat. Thank You Real Madrid!

too many world class players won't work
each with their own egos.

but beckham did excellent at milan even for short time, i guess depends on the club i wish he's coming back.

i personally believe that Iran will never ever attack UAE. first they have great trading, second the ancestors of some UAE leaders (Sheikh Mo to name) are Iranians. Very tight relation. UAE is very smart indeed, to make allies and make benefits with both US and Iran

becks game was to cross and pass. and if you got a BIG goal hanger like inzaghi who sits in the goal and you got someone crossing the ball in like becks, then ofcourse hes gonna do well. that... is called team playing ;) he did excellent as well in defending, remembering like gattuso but with pin-s...

hey.... it wasn't me who started the thread by mentioning about Kaka and then Beckham, where both coincidently were Milan players

having emirates id for 6 months and it's pretty useless. i could have use my driving license instead for id, it's more than enough.

but i don't know if they will start enforcing it (in real) in the future.

Just yesterday when taking my friend to airport going back for good. I saw more and more dusty cars in and around airport parking areas. And this can't be mistaken.

Chocoholic wrote:Also I have heard that now security are running checks on all cars that go into the airport parking lots, to see if the visa of the owner has been cancelled or there's any reason for them to be a flight risk.

There's no such checks at least 2 days ago when I went and parked there.

How do you know? They just sit there looking at the plates through cameras. And if your visa isn't cancelled and you don't plan on abandoning your car, then you have nothing to worry about do you. Are you saying by seeing car plate number (by aiport authority) then the officer will trace the owner ...

forza azzurri!

I love everything about Italy ( outside home country, off course ;) ): AC Milan (as in my favorite colors too), azzurri, foods, beautiful cities & sceneries, people (including gorgeous Italian girls), and most favorite country for vacation. Been there few times and wish to go back there again. I...

So today I called a credit card provider ("Bc" platinum) to close it down as I'm leaving the country soon. It's been several months since the last time I use this credit card. I always paid in full every month so I'm sure there was no balance due. Call center staff : "... but Sir, you...

Aren't you supposed to take a "No Liability Certificate" or Security Cheque (if given) back from them? Shoot! I didn't think of that when closing 2 credit cards in the past. Would that be a major problem in the future, in other words can the bank be trusted? I'm not even sure if they will...

When at Global Village last winter I was interested with some products where I'm seeking to do small trading business in home country. I regret that I didn't take their business cards. I am not sure exactly from which countries, but for sure they are Middle Eastern country booths (particularly Leban...

Pattaya's DEAD right now, as is much of Thailand with the H1N1 breakout.

Whenever I wanted Durian (that is like almost everyday!) I just went to nearest Tesco/Carrefour/BigC

Not really. I saw and took a photo once, they had a peaceful "demo" outside Mamzar Park.

holy cr4p! what's going on with them??? we'll see. there's still time to recover.
