has anyone photos or links to pics of everyday real Dubai - after all I'm sure you dont all live in those hotels.........

I would like to see pics of the poor local's homes - the immigrant house builders dormitories, where you all live ....... the bad roads - the lack of greenery...... I'm not looking to criticise or put down Dubai - I just want to see what you all see...... not 5 star hotels as is what I have found so far.

I am in the process of starting to approach British curriculum schools seeking employment - can you recommend any?

Many thanks

Wow you don't want much do you?

Take a look at 7 Days www.7days.ae

They're very good at showing the REAL Dubai.

all british curriculum schools are the same...

Chocaholic,

Thanks for that link!

Sharfraz

really???? Is that the same in a good or bad way??????

hopefully good way...

I have never been a teacher.....

There was this stupid movie back home about Dubai. And then recently a documentary showing only the beautiful places in Dubai. I immediately got phone calls from friends back home telling me that they didn't know Dubai was so beautiful and all and how they all wanted to come here now.

Try youtubing Dubai, some films on there about the very seedy side of Dubai.

Are you in any of them?

No!

There are poor areas in Dubai?!! WHERE?!

Have any of you seen Dubai: Night Secrets? It is a 12-minute documentary about the plight of se>< workers in Dubai. Very insightful, especially when you look at the context in which some of the "official" comments are made.

Really? Ask the local cops that!

Al Nakheel feels like peacefull but looks like dangerous street after 00:00.

There are still some areas of Dubai the police are trying to clean up as they are really not safe to walk through at night, particularly if you are female.

best quote I heard about Dubai was from a Singaporean who had spent a couple of years there.

Dubai is like an expensive wardrobe, it looks nice from the outside but open the doors and you see all the crap that it's trying to hide.

agree, so you need to clean it up from foreigners and it will be an expensive wardrobe from the inside out. find a better thing to do ppl
