and what is the demo according to you?

Planes only. They don't want oily engine bays destroying the corals ;) Not really. They sank some chassis and tires off Fujairah coast for artificial reefs and a dive spot called "car cemetery" at depth of 15 meters. The guide made a joke that it was a Bentley ;) Some pics I took when div...

Too lazy to open by myself, I just bought ready-packed

The only food I bought from street vendors were Kao Men Gai, Tom Yam Goong, and deep fried grasshopers

Nothing shown on the website doesn't mean you got none

I checked and got none on website until renewing the registration and I had to pay 200 dhs for an offence almost a year ago!

I got threats from my heartless ex....

... but then emotionally made a dedication for my daughter on FB

Ok, you suffer from insomnia or just coming back from clubbing. You are starving and need to find a restaurant past midnight. Let's list all the restaurants/cafes (not in a hotel, please) that open past midnight or 24 hours. My take: CHOWKING - Asian restaurant - 24hours - Karama, near/opp Central P...

i'm sure it won't work at night, dusk, dawn where the light is minimum.

there's more than marriage, but keeping raising a family happily. it takes a lot of commitment.

if one thinks one can't commit, then one should not get into marriage, let alone raising family. otherwise it will end up into divorce and broken family. be a happy single instead.

xty

You are there because you want to be there, not because you have to be there (because you are married). totally agree. Relationships take commitment, regardless if by virtue of marriage or not. People can create a family unit without the benefit of marriage. but I still don't get that if both the c...

But I do think that sensible people who maybe have lost their love can still stay together and make a good home for their children (to whom they should want to give all their love and protection) so long as they are not shouting and screaming at each other. Unfortunately, today the cult is for peop...

No it's not an old-fashioned idea. A legal contract ( marriage) is not a bad idea. But it turns into a double-egged sword when parents have to live together unwillingly because of ur legal contract. the effect of a sore marriage and a divorce on kids is all the same. How a living-together (no legal...

As long as it's not categorized as adult-related, piracy, VPN, VoIP, and some other sensitive matters, I believe you can access them.

Some people have paid VPN service to overcome those though, but said that the ISPs are tracking those violators.

with permissible darkness up to 30% maximum correction. most people think that it indicates the percentage of darkness (0% clear, 100% total dark) but in fact it indicates the percentage of visible light transmission/VLT. 5% is the darkest tint available in the market (means only 5% of visible ligh...

They gave citizenship to a Brazilian football player so that he can be in UAE national team. It's in the news a year ago.

as explained, it's actually VLT. you can ask 3M shops.

"7. Driving without a driver’s licence" ---> it's irrelevant for me. having the UAE license doesn't mean no/less accident than without it (example experienced driver who has already other countries' licenses).

As like some other airports in other countries, most probably the current one will be used for domestic/regional/low cost airlines, where the new Al Maktoum will be for long haul/international flights. And about the high passenger traffic in Dubai, it must be traffic OUT of the country due to crisis...

Etisalat has also been doing FTTH for some old buildings in the city. Mine just got enabled yesterday. I notice only Discovery HD and Voom HD channels so far on e-Vision's Orbit package. It may take couple of years to mature with more channels (and Blue Ray discs) to come.

I heard that also, about 1000dhs, but I don't pay a penny so far, the technician said it's free of charge. They installed the unit, convert all my landline phone, e-Vision, and Al Shamil DSL. Maybe for the new customer?

xty

DDS... wait... apparently they convert landline phone and DSL free of charge, even they throw a new wireless modem router (I used my own before). according to them, i need to re-apply and pay again e-vision for using the new FTTH unit. though, i've seen some e-vision promotion ads with free decoder ...

Anyone knows the procedure to open a case against FZ company? Should we go first to the FZ authority, or Ministry of Labour, or directly to court? The company refuses to pay part of pending salary and end-of-service benefits.

@MCL... I don't know why... but bad things keep getting on me and it gets more and more complicated. I was surrounded by liers, fakers and losers. Do you know deep sh!t? That where I'm in now. I do nothing bad but I (could) lose everything. This is the real situation when 'life is unfair'. I wish I ...

what guarantee is that? big reputable company/brand won't make a fool of themselves by lying to their customers. moreover 3M is not known only for window tint but a lot more state-of-the-art and techie products. they provide real demo. they have all the technology, and that's what we (or i) believe...

I think the contract held by FZA is the contract between the FZ company (the employer) and FZA. Probably they would attach as well the contract between the employee and employer. I never sign any contract with FZA. However, when I needed a salary certificate (for family visa sponsorship) I went to F...

Now what would YOU do? Are you saying you want to be the children, or not? Are they (ex & new partner) married? It's not clear. Forget about ex and her new partner. If you don't "bother" taking back the children, then why bother? If you care, then fight till the end for your children. ...

I've been Dubai resident for 3 years. Recently lost a job and still couldn't find a new one. The ex company is canceling the visa. However, honestly due to personal/family reason, if possible I must stay in the country. Alternative way is to setup own business, but frankly I don't have much money. I...

DDS, thanks for the info. Several months back I was looking also some info for cheap alternatives such as RAK FZ, Knowledge Village, and Dubai non-FZ. "Every company operating within the RAK FTZ is required to obtain a business license. A business license is a time-limited permit granted to a c...
