wow thank you for the pictures, are "nobodies" allowed on the palm? I have to go down and check this out one day.

fayz

oh well, hopefully one day i get to see it, it looks impressive. I'm going for lunch at the Burj next week i guess I’ll have to bring my binoculars.

fayz

Well Comrade, I guess only time will tell but my money is on the prices dropping. For GDZ i guess you need to factor in how long you'll be here, will your company housing allowance pay off your mortgage, how valuable the residency visa that comes with the house is to you, what build quality is like,...

Cant believe i had to miss the party guys.... unexpected visitors :oops: So when's hte next one Fayz? :lol: No worries, there were many good suggestions like monthly get togethers and even a day at the autodrome, hmmm maybe we can let out our frustrations with eachother by karting, everyone on this...

let it go Arnie, don't you know the in thing now is old woman young man the half your age plus 7 rule is reversed.

You had good times, remember the good times and accept defeat.

Besides which, he will not help her across the road and cut her food up. :P Shameless plug for Cad… The beauty of good chocolate is it melts in your mouth allowing you to savour every last ounce of goodness penetrating every taste bud and who crosses the street when you have a camel drawn carriage ...

i enjoyed your read Stylin, a couple of points though there is a daily drop limit in Dubai of 15% not free fall. The last major IPO (Dana Gas) and all the planned ones are open to foreigners but they do need to make all stocks open to foreigners similar to what Doha did a couple months back. emergin...

You likely have to install the double byte language character set. (if you go to languages in regional setting, click on the install files for east languages) but since this is a public internet place you likely won't be able to do that. There are internet places near Astoria and Ascot hotels in Bur...

You have a few pluses going for you, you're a GCC national, you speak English, Arabic (i'm assuming) and likely a bit of French, you have a "western" degree, etc. Dubai is definitely more open than Saudi but salaries are higher in Saudi. I’d check out http://www.dubaimediacity.com/, i think a $5k sa...

Good stuff, sadly i guess this more common than I had thought, My friend went shopping with a few other friends yesterday that are visiting Dubai and she was "propositioned" by the taxi driver, she smacked him and told him off.

fayz

Syd, Esma. the reality is many people make 1500 or less and i would say the majority of DXBs population would jump at salary as high as 3500 but you also have the lucky minority who earn over 30,000 and this board has many of them. At the end of the day if you need a change/adventure, you don't mind...

fayz

So you're saying your a gummer, now i understand the huge queue knocking down your door.

HAHAHAHAH oh well this thread just went way way downhill, at least it stayed civil until the meet.

fayz

I’m not one to question and definitely in no position to judge but for your interest from what i've heard FOREX trading is Harem and actually is illegal in the UAE. The same sort of illegal as prostitution and drinking without a permit if you are a resident, people just turn a blind eye but thought ...

HAHAHAHAHA so Gab has Wallet envy eh?

So, from my understanding, $5 K would be on top of rent, insurance, etc, right? ! Yes I would say 5k + expenses would be an attainable salary in Dubai. There are really low paying jobs here as well, you have to have a bit of luck and be good at what you do but yeah. Hahahaha I do know what you mean...

Although in Dubai (DFM) you are technically able to obtain an investor number by FAX, i've yet to see this successfully work, generally you have to go in person to obtain an investor number. ADSM you don't even have the choice, you have to go in person. There are UAE based mutual funds, i don't know...

not a lot cheaper but gives you a couple of other options, also you are right time does fly here.

fayz

highly recommend it, you'll have a blast and Kannelli suck it up you sound as old as Gab hehehehe.

if you buy yourself an entertainment book there are 3 2 for 1 coupons for Arabian adventures, it'll work out to 175 a person, you can get cheaper if you want.

fayz

trust me you'll miss winter when you move over here.

There are lots of flies here.

fayz

I wonder though Choco if it was a local raping a Pakistani boy would you immediately say "see i told you locals get off easy", kinda proving sheikas point. The root problem is people are getting off too easy, no matter of race or nationality, castration is appropriate for taking a Child’s innocence,...

fayz

HAHAHAHA yes, i love dubai and I love this time of year but i'm not use to flies (odd 'cause i was born in Africa ;) ) and they annoy the heck out of me, my excuse for smoking more shisha than i should is because the smoke keeps the flies away. Please don't say Aus is worse than here, I have to work...

fayz

sorry my bad, i keep forgetting seasons are reversed

Happy to hear, i'll get a bit of a break from the bugs though

fayz

hahaha, I went 3 days ago for the fourth time and one of the girls in our car had to use 3 bags, I guess the Vietnamese Pho we had an hour before didn't help. We went with a company called GV, it is owned by MMI and had a blast I've been 4 times with 4 different companies now and never had a bad exp...

HAHAHAHA A hoser, you are really a Canadian

download the episodes using bittorrent

they also show it on one of the free to air channels, One TV. good show.

hmmm but where are Sniper's freedom of speech rights? Or is it that as soon as he offends someone than he is infringing on someone else's freedoms.

Intersting to see what happens to our animated little monkey friend next.

Interesting... Prophet Muhamed (pbuh) with a turban bomb isn't inciting racial hatred??

fayz

Does seeing a picture of a Muslim wearing a waist bomb on the news (like you see in many Palestinian protests) mean that news stations are trying to incite racial hatred? Both are images involving a Muslim and a bomb. Should both be censored? You make a very good point, both are negative and unisla...

fayz

hahaha you should, it is a good book, almost a guarantee that you will have visitors here during the year, the 2 for 1 Desert safaris, Wild Wadi, Ski Dubai, easily cover the cost of the book and most restaurants have 2 for 1 deals as well which can add up to a lot of savings. I use to buy these book...
