Most? Maybe some. Check anyway, you'll fry anything if it's only for 110v. A plug adapter doesn't change the voltage.

Most/all laptops will work on different voltages. I was meaning for general appliances - kettles, toasters, sybians, etc.

An adapter is not a power supply is what I was trying to point out.

Live close to DIFC or close to JAFZ. Then only one of you will have to suffer traffic jams. Do the drive at rush hour when you visit to get an idea of what you can stand. Check out intersections under construction. Defense roundabout will be a nightmare for the next couple of years. Dubai Marina may...

It's been blocked for years. I think because otherwise you can view blocked sites via archive.org. That, and google translate are two of the most irritating blocks they have.

Mortgages up to 100% of original price (usually much lower than purchase price) are possible but maybe only off-plan, 80% to 90% is more common. Some banks will do mortgages on current valuation, but not to 100% I think. You'll need a salaried job and residence visa, or couple of years of accounts i...

Re: Problem with employer - legal advice

If you want legal advice, ask a lawyer. You'll get forum advice from a forum. Dxbsoul sounds knowledgeable though. You could send a letter to the Gulf News legal advice column that runs once a week.
