well dubai is known to be safe for anybody to go out, even after midnight. Dont worry about that. Even the women in the forum can tell you that Tell that to the girl who accepted a lift from some guys in a black hummer at the Madinat. Silly thing to do maybe, but you still need to use some common s...

Even the women in the forum can tell you that Tell that to the girl who accepted a lift from some guys in a black hummer at the Madinat. . What happened to her? And the guys? 5 guys and one girl in the...

Your bet bet would be to talk to a shipping company in the states and get some quotes from them.
I've not done it from there so I can't help, but a lot of people do.

You will have to pay 5% import tax on the car and your personal posessions should be tax free.

are there are any 'issues' with the YARIS A lot more stylish than the echo and very practical inside. The speedo in the middle of the dash will take a few days to get used to. As for reliability, it is too early to tell, but being a toyota the chances are it will be bullet-proof. I prefer the hatch...

[quote="gtmash"]it is a hatchback (which are unloved here)[\quote]

Any ideas why?

Sorry to hijack the thread, but I think that we have established which car to buy.

Whats wrong with the good old dunny door?

Nice car though.

Race you for pink slips?

If it is arab culture that you are interested in, why don't you just go for a drive to Lakemba.

Handy website scott, thanks. Lyn, You have a bit of a problem if you can't get supersport. The only other of these channels available in Dubai are: Sport+ Part of the TPS package on the Hotbird satellite (same used by ART/ADD). TPS is popular in Dubai for its interesting french movie channels. Sky S...

for a 1.3L, not that bad.

No worries. I spent several years in Sydney myself and love the place. I'm planning a fews days there in April. Can't wait! The main difference between Dubai and Sydney is that you do not need much disposable income to enjoy Sydney, but you need a lot to enjoy Dubai. In other words, money CAN buy ha...

I've read that much of the UAE's military is expatriatese. Hey man, which moron told you that? He must've confused the UAE military with the UAE "labour" force. Decades ago, a handful of expats joined the military, but not anymore. My next door neighbour is a general in the Army and he's ...

Try Quartermile Racing in AlQuoz. They are mostly germans there.

With one child and another planned, he might not want to live in a 2 bed apartment and may want at least a 3 bed villa. So your calculation of 150k will get you an entry level 3-4 bed villa. That leaves 16 300 per month. Most people could manage on this amount. Whether you can live off this per mont...

How about banning everyone from Sharjah.

Its just a money grab.
Most people will take the hit, and the Dubai Government will be richer.
How else are they meant to raise 10billion dollars for investment?

http://www.oqyana.com/hi/movie.swf i send this video to my friends and they decided to visit Dubai :) Does this island already exist? looks impressive. This project is probably on hold because the land is currently up for sale. You can purchase it for about 300m I think. That's just the land. It is...

Probably 35k at the most. You won't get a good price from them, but there are ways to increase it. If they offer 35 for instance, come back a few days later asking for a valuation certificate because you have sold it for say 40k. They will then most likely increase their offer to match. I'd sooner s...

Too many things being debated on this thread. The main problem that PARANOID has, is that homosexuality is not accepted by Islam (and by all other mainstream religions for that matter). It sounds like you want to practice Islam, but can't becuase you are gay. What everyone needs to understand is tha...

Being 'Gay' is a choice - in-so-far as acting on those impulses goes. So its OK for you to act on your impuses and make love with someone of the opposite gender, but its not OK for a homosexual to act on their impuses make love with someone of the same gender? The whole 'nurture vs nature' arguemen...

And would you like me to show you how in the animal kingdom a lot of animals choose to form families with gay parents? There was an amazing video I watched on youtube about how in nature same se.x partners choose to be together for various reasons. Let's remember that animals don't have s.ex for th...

I think that it is unfair to include gays and paedophilles in the same boat. Even if you view both as being repugnant, there is one main difference between them. Paedophilles prey on children who are not willing partners. This is rape. Gay people choose willing partners and should have the right to ...

Shafique, I feel responsible for making you feel uncomfortable and I apologise.
Although I admire you willingness to share information about such issues. Thankyou.
