Dubai Forums Dubai Discussions Dubai General Chat

I'd be interested in finding out what the general mix of Dubai Forum users is made up of. So I've made a simplified poll. Don't be too offended if I missed your place!

Why are you interested??

Aren't you interested in the backgrounds of the people giving you advise & internet friendship?

I guess because to some degree I'm curious about the mix of expats here...and whether many locals even use this website.

I recently moved from Taiwan, where I regularly used Forumosa.com

It's an incredibly rich resource of information for expats living in a foreign country...

Its a mix of britishers, canadians, australians, indians, pakistani, filipino and almost all that u have listed on there and much more.

It's a mixture of everything.......

Am i the only European National?
Please East European and Poor european countries like Greece , Italy ; spain can not be considered in this Poll

bump

I think moderators should forbid bumping of thread. Bring Up My Post or Bump Up My Post. In fact, thread bumping is a breach of netiquette, but then it can be dealt on a case to case basis.

Just a thought. Cheers!

four emiraties? i know of two that are currently active... hmm

I tend to disagree, better then people asking the same question over again.

I would suggest to the original poster to read this thread.

Lots of tangents and a bit dated but you get a good feel for where people are from, also polls are hard because people now a days are from more than one place which is why I haven't responded to this threads poll.

I’d actually encourage the continuation of the other thread as I found it interesting and we have a lot of new members.

o? 16% filipino. but then again, only 4 people voted so that doest count much

By the way, the correct spelling is P H I L I P P I N E S.

When you refer to the people of the Philippines (or its nationals) it should be F I L I P I N O.

PHILIPPINES is derived from King PHILIP VI (?) of Spain - Spain having colonized the Philippines for more than 300 years which explains why most Filipinos are Roman Catholics (85% of the total population) and also why most carry Spanish names and surnames.......

Thanks....

no I would personally not worry about anyone's nationality on the site, and besides, the Government is on the process of issuing a national ID for everyone, you needn't trouble yourself by going through so much hussle.. you will have to check your little window each day to see who is what....
