Hi, I'm guessing there are a lot of salary/benefits questions so I'll try to keep this quick: I'm beginning to look into moving to Dubai and I am looking for some guidance about what range of salary/benefits package I should be asking for as I don't want to get ripped off and want to compare with ot...

I really really dont get it !!? anybody help ? If you understand Baseball then this link should help explain it quite well. If you don't then the link is still fairly useful in attempting to explain Cricket to those who did not have the fortune to grow up with it. http://members.tripod.com/~sccwa/c...

Hi All,

I'm just wondering if anyone can recommend a good (hopefully cheap...hahahhaahha) Arabic course, preferably near DIFC or towards Jebel Ali.

I think your reading is correct
