But before asking such administrators/clerics, ask youself first that if you had small children, which religion are they following, father's or mother's (in the case both are having different ones)? Unless you don't have a belief or don't enourage/teach the children have one either.

If all workforces are willing to get paid cheaply, if all the companies have similar thoughts, that they will hire the cheapest staffs without thinking about quality, attitude, ethics, then it will hit you (the employees) back as you will never be appreciated with high values and never get higher sa...

Meh! This was what I wrote in the other post: On the flipside could you please tell us where all the decent single guys are hiding? There seem to be none left in this town. decent guys looking for decent girls. decent girls looking for decent guys. and all of them are looking at "wrong" p...

and bars/clubs are not the only places you can go the first time.
perhaps joining a gym/sport club, going to religious services (church/mosque), etc.

btw, it seems there's not many of groups in dubai sharing the same interests other than the same nationality!

the building was not designed for shopping mall or restaurant complex. low ceiling, corridors, no traffic of people, etc. it's more suitable for offices. but with the metro station just next to it, it's a prime location, they should've change the concept or at least let the traffic from metro statio...

There's one shop in Sharjah, but very very limited. I'd say None. Even it's difficult to find high grade Hoya filters here. I had to buy them when taking vacation in home country. For others, you may check Salam store (Wafi mall), MK Trading (behind Twin Tower), or one small shop in MoE (above Carre...

there were big queues in major stations like MoE. if i had not car, i'd pay 30 dhs for taxi than to wait 1-2 hours for queueing!

Shame on photoshopers! They should call themselves graphic designers, not photographers! When the picture is bad, even photoshop won't help.

When living in my previous apartment for 3 years, I never had problem using Etisalat services: landline, ADSL, mobile. In fact I wish they installed the FTTH (fibre lines) earlier as my Internet connection speed was doubled (paid for 512K got 1M) for "free" (probably was a mistake?). Two t...

Yes Eti sucks big time took 3 months to install the connection, I lived right in the heart of the city. Also after the cable cut incident in feb 07/08 ? Etisalat starting throttling downloads so trying to download anything from p2p or torrents speed would drop to 2 or 4kbs ! but thankfully end of t...

they deserve extra holiday because they are very very busy! (sarcasm)
all matters are pushed to "after eid"!!!

*waiting for 5 weeks for next hearing on labour case!*

for gazillion times, the genuine good ones don't go to or hang out in bars (frequently). period.

ironically some women knew they had the good ones but think it's not enough and threw them away instead.

Web ads are useless. It's so 90s before the dotcom boom. Unless you're as big as Google/Facebook, you got to have real brick & mortar business.
More and more people use Adblock extension on their browser (Firefox).

First, I use paid VPN (US based) for my Internet connection (means websites will see that I'm located somewhere in US), so any IP-region-based ads targeted for Middle East will be unrelevant. Second, I use all the time Adblock extensions on Firefox where I block almost all banners & ads includin...

xty So what is your answer for a site like http://www.visit-dubai.co,uk which is TOP on a "visit dubai" search into Google? It may work if it's not IP-region-based ads or you're targeting UK-based visitors who use Internet Explorer as their browsers (no ad blocker extension) and/or doesn'...

blaclisted most probably sure. but arrested at airport on arrival, i'd like to hear a real story. or probably i miss a news? not that i have any loans.

still burried under ground. can't find job since 6 months ago. mid level IT operations/consulting services (specifically for retail/supply chain/logistics). in fact IT jobs in general are very very less.

a sport shop next to johnny rockets opposite jumeirah plaza (not sure if they have).
go sport (mall of emirates, ibn battuta).
sun & sands (deira city centre, festival city, ibn battuta).
a sport shop on the corner of karama opposite central post office.

maybe good for journalist or sales person, but not for techie-freaks
still prefer something with REAL keyboard.
(one main reason i stick to QWERTY smartphone over stylus-based PDA).

how much it costs?

contact them for the rates.
the company doesn't provide you?
oman insurance starts 1600/pa.

Some anti-dust technology on micro scale has been used in some digital cameras namely Sony Alpha DSLRs. One is by vibrating the sensor inside the camera so some dusts (though not effectively 100%) would fall from the sensor. I'm not sure vibrating a big glass window will do though ;) This sensor is ...

Do we still need to cancel the residence visa (from previous sponsor) if it has been expired (either within grace period of 30 days after expiration, or beyond that regardless of overstaying fines) and not renewed, in order to have a new one (new job/sponsor or opening a company)?

don't let yourself be a prey.

It depends on what you want to do there and what interest you: shopping, night life, culture, food, city, beach, highlands, etc. Beware of gem/jewelry scams by tuktuk drivers. If you like shopping, Pathumwan Princess or Novotel hotel are recommended. Located right in the shopping district (Siam Squa...

Used to live in Paris several years ago. It's still one of top 5 cities I've ever been. Though it could get very crowded in the summer due to tourists. Go to the off-beaten places like Chinatown (13th district), Pantin (Northeast), and flea markets (East and North). Vincennes and Versailles outskirt...

I wish to go to Guilin someday. I'm fascinated with its beautiful limestones.

First, I don't want all the clutters which mostly irrelevant. I want clean websites.

Second, it makes the website load faster as it won't download the blocked items which sometimes takes 50% or more of the size especially with flash ads.

The police can't do anything until the judgment from the court. Call the court if you have really a case against you.

I wonder if they allow Carrefour trolleys pass through the metro
