Dr. D what is a Barbie baby?

OMG! that guy is soooo funny....but the poor girl!

apparently (well so the dude in the printing place told me) there was a burst water main or something?!

hmmm...if you are only going to be out here for 9 months the company should really provide your housing for you. Most rents in Dubai require you to pay a year up front, which is not very helpful if you are not here for a full 12 months.

you will probably want to live relatively close to where you will be working - to avoid traffic hassles. Like me you will be arriving just in time for Summer - coming from Australia I didn't find the heat too bad it was the humidity that killed me! and with no rain in the summer to cool things down ...

I think there are plenty of females who dont like shopping....but none are going to post now for fear of marriage proposals!

Does anyone know when this will be available in Dubai, and if it already is the best place to buy it from.

Thanks!

Thanks!

ineedacoolnick, do you know how much your flatmate paid? dont want to get shafted.

Coops

woah nelly! just called up Geekay (i think that is what it is called) to get a price benchmark and they are selling the Wii for AED2500 - sheesh. They are supposed to be about US250 in the states, and in Aus they are about AU$300-400. Man how are they justifying that it is more than double anywhere ...

Coops

Your site office should be air-conditioned so no probs there - just getting about around site that will be fun in the summer. Living together when you are not married....hmmm...hot topic out here and everyone has their own opinions about. If she is working for you will your company be sponsoring her...

Coops

no chance of me paying 2500! i am waay too much of a tight ass to pay double!

Prob want a PAL version as we got our Gamecube and games in australia and i think they are PAL - are the ones in the UK PAL?

Hi All

At home there were a few websites that always had last minute hotel/travel deals local to where i lived which was perfect if on a wednesday i decided i wanted to go away for the weekend - or just spend a night in a city hotel.

Are there any similar websites in Dubai?

Thanks!

Thats what i had kinda figured....but was hoping someone may have had a secret gem....anyone....anyone....

sigh....

Oh well, back to random google searches!

hahahaha

I used to live in an area which had a whole street of korean restaurants.

I had to hold my breath down that stretch of street everyday on my way home!

Korean food is supposed to be quite nice, but how do you get past the smell!

Coops

a good price...

suppose just used to like getting emails with the weeks "hot" deals and deciding spur of the moment to go away for the weekend or something just cuz the price was right.

Will check out Emirates Holidays, thnx!

hi dave wanted to get one for my hubby for christmas - and being the organised gal that i am decided this...um...on sunday... Most online shops seem to be sold out at the moment. Gonna wait now till his birthday in feb - as i dont want to spend 2-3 times the actually selling price. thanx though!

Coops

maybe he has changed his name!

Imagine how many more people have read the article because they thought the name was funny

Coops

it's like when it was popular to write S*X really huge at the top of whatever you wanted to say, then "now that i have your attention" - this is just a little more subtle

Horrible!

Coops

well it does say "at around"

and i think "more follows" means: we might change the facts throughout the day as we find out what actually happened.

normally if housing is stated as being provided they will provide something suitable for your family. Though this is only if you are hired on a Married or family status contract. Often if you are hire single or bachelor status only single accomodation is provided and often this will have to be shared.

Coops

MaaaD - thanks for posting that pic!

Saw it last week and wanted to get a shot but didnt have my camera on me!

Love it!

Hey Down2earth

For your level of experience AED45 + car is market rate in the construction industry - what sort of company (ie. contractor? Client side?). I am finding at the moment AED40 - AED55K seems to be the rough range for PM type roles - just depends which company.

Xander i am a little vague on the exact rules as i have no investments/assets back home and am planning on being out here for more than 3 years. But as far as i can gather if you are classed as non-resident then you are not liable for aussie taxes. To become non-resident you have to be outside the c...

Coops

Coops

Coops
