dave101

im basically a salesman, selling materials to companies. i do it in the uk but theres alot more work for me in dubai

but from other forums, it seems that if you get 20,000AED/month, that is a good salary, but im getting only 10833AED/month, im beginning to worry it wont be enough

dave101

dave101

dave101

thanks for all the response, to answer your questions, he looked real closely at my licence, but he did not pass me any ticket, and i did not sign anything, he did say you will have to pay a fine, but then said 'make sure you dont do it again'. he may of written something down, but i received no tic...

dave101

i think i will just to the kickboxing as a compromise, i did the full intro lesson the other day and it was fine, they just politely tried to keep my guard alot closer, and didnt seem to mind that i was always moving my feet while everyone else was stationary. they will beat it out of me soon enough...

dave101

dave101
