The reason I ask is one of my friend's that owns an outdoor furniture supply company hired a Philipino worker(I mention race only because I think it plays a factor) but the employee's current employer didn't like him leaving all though he treated the poor guy like shlt and the guy worked for him for...

Yes like everyone else that has responded has said there is racism in Dubai, being of Asian origin and British you've likely experienced it back home as well. Having said that though, there are a lot of people who aren't racist in this city and there are quite a few successful Indians in Dubai. The ...

There is an area of Bur Dubai called Golden Sands, there are many hotel apartments in this area, I was paying AED ~1800/week to rent in Golden Sands a year ago while my residency/trade license was being sorted, i would guess it is a bit more now, that was for a serviced studio, including daily maid ...

kewl, good idea. I'd be interested.

fayz

hahahaha, I'd love to share a table with you, Choco, Liban, Major, I doubt you'd survive past the appies.

Oh my god, did Hell freeze over or was that an semi-intelligent, more or less well written post from HP.

fayz

Choco, I know you can hold your own, it is HP that I'd be worried for hahaha, more so because I don’t know how long I could hold my composure. You know what would be ideal, just having a bar night or coffee/juice night for this forum. Kind of an open house. To be honest a dinner might be a bit too f...

In your original post you had the age limit as 35, I didn’t qualify but now that you’ve lowered it, I’d be keen. Let me know the details, I’ve been making my own personal effort to check out most watering holes in Dubai anyway. I also was a bartender when I was in school if that helps, I don’t quite...

Well I’ve finally accepted that I may be here for awhile, as such I’ve decided to open a bank account. I searched some old posts and found that Emirates bank and HSBC seem to be the front runners, is this still the case? Any advice you can offer for someone opening an account here? If someone wanted...

Instead of ADSL i use cable, same price and relatively same speeds, I didn't have a choice Etisalat just said you're getting cable. Anyway that was a bit of a tangent, for cable I don't have nor need a land line. My understanding is that except for a few select communities Etisalat is your only choice

go camping, a little picnic, some wine, a few stars, a fire, a tent and good weather.

I'm all about cheap, GF is all about romantic this works for both hahahaha

Hey , don't u think u have to spend a little time with the parents ?

I'd have loved to spend some time with my folks but sadly their 12,000 kms away

fayz

That is F’n brutal, so if the attendants are being strip searched so they’re not keeping the tips, who is getting the tips? Is it being pooled or is management pocketing it? Either way this is just F’d up, the guys that work at the Emarat I fill up at are awesome, very helpful and always in a good m...

HAHAHAHA got to love the urban legends my all time favorite one is the friend of a friend who's third cousin's older sister was busted with some Peanut Butter and the family dog

I’m new to the whole credit/banking thing in this area myself but I’ll gve you a personal experience I had with credit in this country. A while back when I first decided to get a car I went in to a car dealership and they had a bank finance guy there. The guy offered me a loan for a ridicules 350,00...

ready for some reality. Dubai appears to be

Dubai doesn't = reality hahahahaha.

Seriously though you'll probably enjoy it here. Where in the Caribbean are you from? i have family in the Cayman Islands and Bermuda and I've done some work in Trinidad and Barbados.

See I always wondered about that, If you pick up the connector magazine there are tattoo parlors advertised. Then again Radar detectors are sold here but are illegal as well. A friend of mine through word of mouth found a tattoo artist working out of her house, definitely was on the seedy side of Du...

If I’m not mistaken the Sun and Sand store on Bank street has North Face gear. I haven’t been there for a while though.

The number 1 plate for Dubai is Sheik Mo, that is his G wagon, I see it all the time.

fayz

hahaha, come on this is the information age no need to steal it just use Photoshop and voila i have a picture of my beater with a DXB 1 plate on it ;) I've met a few people that of dropped 100 large or more on a plate, this is something that has never made any sense to me. What a total waste of coin...

best advice you can get is exactly what Yorky said, shop around. I'm personally anti-leasing although I did lease a car here for the first few months simply because I did not have residency and you can't buy a car without that. For a lancer for example, you can lease one, Insurance, maint all in for...

Moving back on topic. I just came back from an Emarat station, I asked 2 of the station attendants what happened to tips and they both told me management takes it. I asked about the searching and they said yes it happens, instead of tipping this time, I shook the gentleman’s hand and that is the las...

It is not that they don't like direct debit. Here it is a criminal act to bounce a check and my understanding is the laws are not the same for direct withdrawal. As such the company you just bought your car from has you by the short and curlies which finance companies will always prefer. if you thin...

HAHAHAHA i just got back from Shangri La, all you can eat and drink for 5 hours, I’m definitely there. I have to get up in 6 hours to work though good thing I have access to really strong coffee at work

We both need lives though if you come back from the pub and get on the web.

fayz

Just to add to what Yorky said, if you are Muslim you will not be given a Liquor license, if that applies to you

It doesn’t much help your search for a job in Dubai but if you are just looking to get out of Aus, Canada has a huge glut in the pharmacy industry, they pay very high for these positions and your dad, if good at his position could write his own ticket. I have to friends that are pharmacists and fres...
