The nitty-gritty: condoms, birth control, lube, etc.

My boyfriend and I (both Canadian) are moving to Dubai in a couple of months and are talking about what to bring, what not to bring, what's easy to get and what's impossible. I know that while Dubai is cosmopolitan for the Middle East, it's still a more modest country than what we're accustomed to. ...

HP, not sure why you're being so antagonistic, but drop it. You may be repressed about physical romance but that doesn't mean everyone else in Dubai suffers from your limitations. Asking about birth control, etc. is the act of an adult who takes responsibility for their actions. By the way, if I wan...

Crash - exceptional

It's a brilliant movie, all about prejudgement, racism, and how disconnected we become from one another out of fear and stereotyping. The acting was incredible by the entire cast -- which is stellar: Ryan Phillipe, Don Cheadle [he was also in Hotel Rwanda], Matt Dillon, Thandie Newton, etc. -- and i...

Did you notice the long-run camera shots -- that is, they weren't cutting away and cutting back to give the guy a break - most of those stunts were done one right after the other, no pause for breath. That man is in the best shape I have ever seen! Wow!

Paying one year up front? Really?

Is it true that renters are expected to pay an entire years' worth of rent UP FRONT? As in, "Here's your cheque for 60,000 DHR Mr. Landlord." I have read on some sites that occasionally a landlord will take three or four post-dated cheques, but I'm still floored by the idea that in order to rent an ...

Wow. Good grief. How do people manage to live there? Thanks for the infor -- I had just pulled the 60,000 DHR figure from other posts I saw that indicated that a two-bedroom apartment was generally around 60,000 to 65,000. Is this a fair approximation? I imagine we'll be needing to show up, cash in ...

Can you recommend some reputable recruiting agencies? I've seen the Jobs In Dubai website, but there seem to be conflicting opinions on whether or not they're legitimate/worth it. Some seem to swear by them, some rant and rave about the evils of the site. That in mind, can anyone recommend a good jo...

HP, you remind me of the bullies who shove little kids around. It's pathetic . I've seen your posts in numerous other threads; the glaring similarity --aside from your rather limited grasp of the english language-- is that you posts are uniformly derogatory, insulting or mocking. It takes a small, s...

Spectacular

Since you will be in Dubai, you will be very close to both the Maldives and Seychelles. They're specgtacular, about 4.5 hours away by plane. You know all those pictures of endless sandy beaches disappearing into a turquoise ocean that are so much prettier than every other beach you've seen? Chances ...

Hotel Apartment?

I haven't heard of these. I assume it's a long-term rental of a hotel room? What does it tend to cost? Do you still get housekeeping services and all of that?

Dental coverage in Dubai?

Can anyone tell me about dental coverage plans in Dubai? My bf and I are headed to Dubai in February, and, as luck would have it, he needs to get some dental work done. I'm wondering if there are dental coverage plans in Dubai that foreigners can purchase? Any information on the topic would be much ...

Bringing alcohol into Dubai as a gift?

My BF and I are moving to Dubai in a few weeks and staying with some expat friends of ours. We were hoping to bring them a bottle of Canadian icewine as a little gift (we're pretty sure they can't get it in Dubai and thought it would be a nice reminder from home) but I'm not sure if we'll have probl...

Thanks for all the tips -- I was actually wondering if it would be cheaper in the Duty Free - and if they had on in Dubai. I might pick some stuff up there, but I'll bring the icewine from home - don't want to take the chance that they won't have any! So 4 litres of any form of alchohol? Sounds good...
