Internet-access

Hi all! :-) I will be moving to Dubai in three weeks and I have a question regarding internet-access. I know that it is only possible to access the net via a proxy-server... but how about internet-telephone software like skype (http://www.skype.net). Is it possible to use such software? Another ques...

Probation period

Hi again! :-) I have one more question regarding Labour Law in UAE. My girl-friend will have a probation period of six months. Can she (like the employer) also quit within the first six months without obtaining a ban? I could sponsor her in that case because we are going to marry in the UAE, but cou...

Hi Yshimi!

I told you already in another thread ;-)
No, you don't have to pay taxes in Germany if you don't reside in Germany.

Cheers,

It is crazy that they cancel everything. I understand, that a great leader has died and this is indeed very sad. But all the tourists and also the expats are now suffering, and the tourists that came here for the DSF will definetely not come again. I wouldn't travel to Dubai any more either if I was...

Regarding Liban's posting, calling people heartless that don't agree to the cancellation of all festivals (and not only festivals - see further below) is not worth a comment. Everyone has his own way of mourning. In my opinion it does not really need a government to restrict certain activities. Well...

Etisalat.. no, thanks!

Hi there! Do you guys have the same problems? Lousy internet connection (ADSL what they call Al Shamil.. I would rather call it 'A Shame') drops every now and then and is then sometimes not available for minutes. Today I got disconnected about 7-8 times in 30 minutes. Same quality are the telephone ...

I think that is a prejudice.

Publishing these pictures here is just as sick as taking them in my opinion. I feel so much dísgust about such people.

Face Card???

Hi people...

in many advertisings (club nights for example) it says "Face card holder discount". What the hell is a face card?
I could not find any information on google or with the forum search here.

I can't believe that there are actually people here, who say 'that's a good idea'. Imagine the catalogues of tour operators all over the world, that say 'AIDS test will be performed on arrival'.

AFAIK... Sixt is renting only Mercedes cars in Dubai! For a very competetive price for short periods, I don't know about longer periods.

I just called them and asked for a price, because I also need a rental car for 2 months soon after I sold my car.
For Long Term it is very expensive, a Mercedes B150 is 4700 Dhs a month :-(

I always was a trance lover, but new releases disappointed me for quite a time already. That changed when I listened to the new Armin van Buuren compilation 'a state of trance 2006'.
