Good to know. Although the movie companies won't be happy.

Well, equality and all. But housemaids are treated worse.

Once you come here, you will see that taking it up the ... and double entries are not uncommon here.

In terms of hidden taxes of course.

Yes

Yes. With fees.

We are living in Downtown Burj Dubai (Emmar) for the past 6 months and our connection with DU has been excellent. Nothing (as yet) has ever been blocked or restricted. Im thinking of signing with du. all i here is good things about them :) how are they for price? I think around dhs300 per month, Ok...

I am satisfied with MEBank/Emirates Bank. Not sure why they have TWO names. Their online banking system is good, but they have stupid fees when cashing foreign cheques. Plus they have ATMS all over the place.

Kids from low-income families did it. If you live in Satwa, Ghusais or Karama, you'll know what I'm talking about.

Broadband internet is your friend.

No one reads safety labels here.

Do you guys read Gulf News? They got it banned. Gulf News also did numerous articles featuring illegal people living in abandoned buildings as a "special interest" story. Later they all got deported. Gulf News also did some stories of shop workers living in cramped conditions in a room abo...

Effectively, the shady party here would be your friend and his intentions for the license, and NOT the government-owned RAK Free Trade Zone. In my understanding, anyone can open a business, but specific qualifications are needed only for consultancies.

Good for you

Yaris is just one ugly looking thing! If you need an economical car get a hybrid (combined electrical and petrol engine). Toyota has a Hybrid - Toyota Prius, also an ugly looking thing, but better than Yaris. Honda has a nicer version: Honda Civic 2007. I have no idea if they sell hybrids at all in...

Good for you

Some of us here are aiming for at least 20k.

Good for you Thanks man, I had a good teacher from Belhasa which turned out to be priceless. I think the main reason why people fail so many times is that thier instructors don't give a damn about teaching them properly or there's perhaps a language barrier. Anyways, I got a okay raise this year so...
