Firstly thanks to the OPs on this site and the great answers given by the regulars. The information has helped me to decide to accept a job offer in Dubai. I do have a Question however on attestation. I have seen the posts on the new changes with regards to EmiratesPost however the UAE embassy in Au...

Ok - what I will do is have the degrees attested by the UAE embassy in Australia. My Dubai employer has said this is quicker, easier and cheaper.

When I get to Dubai - if i have any problems with the new/old system I will post back to this thread with the info.

richtaste it is very hard to get a job anywhere in the world without experience even if you have degrees. they may get you an interview but you may be passed over for someone else with experience and qualifications. Everyone has said it is easier to get a job on the ground, but it took me three mont...

That's just a bad taste episode

I saw Jamiroquai in December. He is a charlatan and wears a hat to make up for lack of talent. I loved his music until I went to the concert. If I had the chance I would have bought Robbies gig tickets AND album instead of seeing J

But, great to hear so many artists are playing.

XRW-147, Australasia is a term used to include Aus/NZ and nearby Pacific Ocean islands. (see map on link below) http://www.bugbog.com/maps/australasia/australasia_map.html The problem is only countries in that group call it Australasia. More generally we are grouped as Oceania or in the South-East A...

Dont laugh dbxsoul.
About the banner it's true
Most people asking questions on here have never used a forum before, and then regular posters get annoyed and say use the Search function.
Rightly so - but it can be off-putting for those that don't know how to navigate a forum

scarlet

Oh I am saying please put a banner up or make the search button more prominant. I am relatively new to this forum and on my first few visits I didn't see it as the google search button is more prominent than the forums search

Sniper that's a really cute message you made - totally at odds with your avatar

I spoke to the ATO last week about this. The percentages above are correct howver it is only 10% tax on interest earnt on money in your accounts and 29% for rental income in OZ. If you buy a property in Dubai then you will be subject to Capital Gains tax if you sell your place back home. You must be...

It's not even easy here! Before sending the docs to the embassy you have to get them validated from the student centre at your university, or if a private institution i.e Bond or another college you have to go to a notary public ($60) then you have to go to the Department of Foreign Affairs and get ...

It's not fair to compare unless you do so based on certain criteria I have spent equal time in both cities and was blown away for different reasons in each NY I found to be the most expensive city ever visited (even when on UK pounds) and a starbucks o every corner was off putting Dubai I loved for ...

Hey XRW - can I book in two please? One very good bowler and the other a forest gump

Hey Kanelli - I saw you said that on another post

What's the deal with getting prescriptions filled in the UAE?

Do you need to show the doctors/chemists history for requiring a product.

Does anyone know if thyroxine is readily available?

If I bring in like 7 jars will I be questioned? It has no use for anyone else nor it is it a "high" drug

New York doesn't have gigantic slave labour camps in the area or a big people trafficking trade.

No NY just off-shores their slave labour. Out of sight out of mind

Noxious Ozzies - I actually like them though.

Terranova do you know the meaning of "Noxious"? Is that what you really mean to say?

What have the aussies done to you?

scarlet

Actually you can buy a property as an investment if you connect the power and telephone in your name.

However not earning any money in Oz will set the alarm bells ringing

scarlet

Ok - I'll agree with that, I thought you were saying we were noxious as in poisonous and mind polluting

I want an authentic laksa.

Does anyone know where to get one?

have u ever been to sydney? no? then shut up.. if you don't think sydney is one of the most beautiful country in the world then u haven't seen the world properly. Alina - sydney is not a country, it's a city - and it's not even the capital of Australia. Ian you are so biased, but I'll have to agree...

The garden centre is now having a 50% sale. i think it started yesterday.

Yes I would like to go to a bar. I had a lovely time last Friday, but would have fancied a drink afterwards. You can only have so much water/fruit juice in one evening. Thanks for the good time even though I was officially the worst at bowling

Palkid - cards would be great - but no gambling! Don't want to upset sensitivities.

Liban - Do you have any vices?

scarlet

Th thing that annoys me the most is girls that say

so girls what do u hate most about being a girl?

Guys never question themsleves like that. Be a strong empowered woman and quit complaining about things you can't change

PS You can't blame my comments on PMS

Hi Choco, I think its probably the bitchiness of other women.

It is said that women dress not for men but for other women.

Hey you two - take it to a private room. Alina might hate it that you've stolen the thunder on her post
