Don't worry. You'll be fine.

Getting in and out of a proper well-paying job in this country is not that easy, especially if you plan to skip in a few months. Technically, you're not allowed to work on the property investor visa either.

Weekend is coming. Get your stories ready!



p.s. If your weekend is sitting at home with a lonely man's pot noodle, just make something up!

I saw you kicking an Indian guy in Satwa and stealing his groceries today. And the sun hasn't even set yet.

Based on what I have read in newspapers here.....no.

It is true. I designed the Anti-gravity machine.

Hey I didn't know you worked at the same company as me. We should meet up during a lunch break.

Still no-one's answered my question tho............ gOOse I don't know the technical answer to your question, but I do know one thing..... there is a five star hotel in my city in the UK that is really pretty standard. I questioned the manager once who I happened to be talking to how the group mana...

Self-plug: See my site for price details. Cars are generally more expensive here that in USA. Even more so for European luxury brands. Japanese, not that much.

It'll be blocked in 2 days. Especially since there is a guy wearing a dishdasha on the homepage as a featured profile.

It is actually true. I was speaking with a friend who works in sales. His company is going for the contract to build Falcon shaped cable cars which will be used to transport people to and from the bubble city. I am sure your friend is lying. The picture does not show any cable cars. I believe the C...

A reliable true 4x4 for 35k is a 2000-2001 Nissan Pathfinder.

Kids ride these all the time. But I don't think they are legal. Technically.

the contract has only to be agreed by DM sage, there is no pro forma template for contracts. you're saying that those green/blue blank/pre-printed form you can buy in book/stationary store was made by/under authorization of DM? Because mine is exactly like that. There are no contract rules....I mad...

Pajeros and Prados are also reliable and true 4x4s, but for that price you have to go older.

Outlander and RAV4 are reliable, but not true 4x4. Freelander is a joke in reliability.

The Camaro is coming after a longggg time. The other choices, be sure to thoroughly test them. Visibility is very tight, especially harder if you are used to a 4x4.

why someone would want to take a child on any form of vehicle other than a car or bus amazes me. As chocs said apart from the total lack of safety why would anyone want to ride around in the heat on a scooter etc. :? If my wife had got the driving license and car herself, there would be no question...

People manage.

I have the Moral Interpol on speed dial. They'll airdrop field agents from Iran by helicopter.

The RTA gave franchises to a bunch of influential companies to run taxis. Each company has a different colour.

No shortage of equipment I'd say.

are you thinking new or old for the mustang? I'm not a big fan of the new, but there have been tons of nice classic examples on places like Souq.com. This one is quite nice, although not the most practical. http://www.souq.com/item.php?id=2288632 Not practical at all. Expensive, breakdowns due to a...

Nothing wrong with kids using the bus.

the only other colour to add to the list is white, white roofs indicate shared taxis, as major said pink are female only, although I've seen men (not families, men alone) in pink roofed cabs. For all the other colours, they're the same maybe as S&O said different colours per franchise not sure....

The thing is, your friend is probably winging it with personal experience.

I guess they dropped the all-beige scheme, as advertised originally.

Many companies don't give. I eventually hired an agency to search for insurance and register my car back when I was under 25. They found Abu Dhabi National Insurance. I believe Al Sagr also does newbies.

Nope. Although it might now be possible in the freehold areas.
