I fog up my goggles in the summer.

I think you might be wrong. I wont ever work for that money in Dobuy, its less i got at h...

Loads of people have read my post but only one reply - come on Dubai you can do better than that!

Dubai only has a few real people. By the way, I suggested the game since you said you like gaming.

Of COURSE they can stay at any hotel they want. And yes, it is crazy-expensive.

Well thing is they dont need any high class five star hotel. Just a place to spend a night. Because you're a resident of u.a.e, u have to provide a valid reason to stay at a place because if the hotel suspects you, they might call the cops. Because one of my office mate was sent to the cops. He cam...

Hmmm, never heard of a Range Rover cop car. The new undercover moving radar cars are Chevy Tahoes, as far as I've figured out. But then again, it's an AD plate and they have no jurisdiction here. Might be an escort car for a sheikh.

Possibly just a gadget wanker then.

Hehe, I edited my previous post. I think it's a bodyguard car for some sheikh out on a joyride.

I just read that he is president of Hark Inc, his own company(?) Why the heck would he ditch that for a craptastic job out here?

Hmmm, never heard of a Range Rover cop car.

Perhaps to see the world? It's not always about money.

It's not always about money, so I run my own small outfit instead. He'd be doing the opposite.

I thought that was a GIRL!!?!?!?!

Concord wrote:However, where I live now there is a small store and all I ever buy there is ice. 1 bag = 2.50 but on Saturday 1 bag = 3.00 dhs

Now when a bag of ice goes up by 20% something is wrong!

Rent is ridicoulus (so much so I forgot how to spell the word).

Buying ice is ridicoulus.

My brother's college buddy did that to his car.

You tell us, Hamad.

Yep, Karama rocks. Satwa is somewhat similar, although with more crappy areas, but they're disappearing every day.

Ajman JFK?

you mean those "labor class people" are not expats? :roll: It all boils down to your standards. I find Satwa below a "typical" western person's standards (I could almost hear them go "eeewww..." at the sight of the place) Hehe, you'd think some of them have never seen ...

what is this nonsense? and why is it repeating?

scarlet wrote:They have leased the pool and gym out to people who don't live in the building.
All those people from the "back" streets of satwa can buy membership in this building

I wouldn't worry too much about the "back" street people. They probably won't pay to exercise.

I saw normal dealerships costs listed at the showroom. It's cheaper to run than a Patrol.

I think the landmark-based system is somewhat cool. When I was in USA, everybody used to download a map before going anywhere within the same city. Even to the city's only zoo.

hamadl wrote:It is illegal to work with a visit visa, but all the companies do it, and nothing happens, no one checks!!

They check in small-time offices, workshops, cafeterias and labour camps. Not really in high-end places.

The good thing was that I could enter JAFZ anytime ;) It only takes a decent car to enter JAFZA without being stopped. :lol: I had to go there a bunch of times, and never been stopped even with my crappy old Merc (although my buddy's Corolla got stopped). It is true that JAFZA visa holders cannot w...

I'd say only this dubbed version flopped. Those who understand English scrounge for downloaded episodes. The voice-acting seems pretty bad in the Arabic one too.

"LOL"

Go to traffic police at Al Barsha or next to Al Mulla Plaza. Alternatively, the 2nd floor of the Union Cooperative in Ghusais has a renewal desk.

IF no one complains, the bad things will not change. There are enough yes-men around here as it is.
