Most of those prices above are good. I am currently hiring a Chevy Avea (= Chevy POS) for 600dhs a week. Europcar in Emirates Towers.

Its funny, but as i get older I see the attraction of Harleys et al more and more. I always said I would never have one. Now I say never say never.

I know the lane changing is manageable. But I'm just not sure I would get the same pleasure as I did back in the UK.

Hi Jac, We have just moved here from the UK. We have one 4 year old son who has just started school at Star International (Umm Sqm) . If you need a space call them immediately as they are gold dust. I would say its great for families, in fact its one the reasons we moved. I dont know about Oz, I hea...

Quick Update: MOFA (Ministry Of Foreign Affairs) has moved. Its now South of the Creek, near the Burjuman Centre, see the map. http://maps.google.co.uk/maps?hl=en&q=DUBAI+mofa&ie=UTF8&ll=25.2544,55.30921&spn=0.039823,0.06197&z=14&pw=2 You will need this to validate your marri...

Gendobre! I would try anything you can to change your passport - can you delay your departure? Failing this, make sure you have every document attested at the UK Foreign Office, the Polish Embassy, then the UAE Embassy. Each attestation will cost you about £20-30 and i recommend you pay the addition...

Same here, came here on a visitors visa (60days) and started working straight away. Obviously we applied for my resdiancy & employment visa immediately but they have only just arrived and its been three weeks now. medical needs to be done before the visa appln though.

Driving around this place makes me smile, what's with all the plastic seat covers on the brand new cars? What's the point of keeping the seats good for the next person if you have suffer torture of sitting on a Lilo all summer?

Just wondering....

"......We are all blonde(not sure if this makes a difference)......" I cant believe you actually made the above statement!!! What do you expect - everyone to bow down and kiss your feet? Geez, you aussies really jump around with the kangaroos, dont you??? Bu then again - Oops - you're blo...

Okay, so there's a trillion new towers being put up here right? Each one being developed by a large local construction company or JV. So I'm thinking what's the scope for an O&M manual here? Obviously each building has large amounts of plant which have maintenance schedules to keep. There must b...

Surely if you was to do a excessive speed of 140km/h for example for half the distance between camera 1 and 2, and then a slow 80km/h for the other half its not theoretically possible for it to catch you That would be my guess too. However if you're likely to do 140 in the first place, you wont wan...

Oh man.. Now I am worried to ride my motorcycle here... Should I or shouldn't I? Tough tough decision... I've temporarily suspended my riding whilst here. Might take up dune bashing instead - on a quad. I have asked this question myself many times and yes, the others are right. Lifesavers and defen...

Is there any update on this?

Just moved over and wanted use Skpe to phone home (or any other VoIP). Is it really blocked here in UAE?

seardarren

The new upcoming rules for the old cars.. what are your views for that? 8) I'm gutted. I was hoping to get a nice mid 90's high spec motor, lot of car for little dough. Cant now can I? I heard you can re-register if its already yours in Dubai, but AD. However no doubt all Emirates will follow the A...

Quality motor.

I think I saw a Suzuki sign in one of the outlets on SZR. It might have been for quads (defo wasnt cars).

I know SZR is a bit vague, but its north of all the big car outlets but South of Al Hadiqa St, East of the SZR obviously.

Good luck

seardarren

Okay, its definately on that road, just North of Off Road Motors.

Yeah I think its too late already. I sent mine last week and was told - unlikely. But then I used the internal mail as I too dont know where to go. I was given directions to the Trade Centre office, but you know......

6 weeks! 5 Years - Get one phase of school out the way. Cost of living here is still affordable, market back in UK sucks. Judging by what the feel of things here are, on this site, listening to neighbours etc. We might move to another emirate, or perhaps another country with my work I can do this. B...

I saw one custom bike the other day with the tag glued to the rear mudguard as there was nowhere else it could go!

Its a shame they dont read the front plate - then bikers would get a treat.

seardarren

Its the same wherever you go. Chocoholic has the idea, especially if your car is higher and more daunting. But someone will always do this, becuase they are more important than everyone else and 'the system'.

I once went to a fortune teller. She wanted to hold something personal of mine. As I didnt wear any jewellry I gave her my money clip......anyone want to end this story for me? You know whats coming.

Well the guy obviously rates himself higher than those around him. If it works for him then let him believe he has loads of friends. I cant believe what a knob jockey he makes in an interview. The Journo's must have been pissing themselves writing that. Quite happy though because I left Bromley to c...

Nice one. I really enjoyed a recent visit to the Gold souk where I didnt barter for gold, but a great deal on a watch. I would say go REALLY low, I did. Then you just meet in the middle, or one will stick their ground. If you dont want it for that price then move on, there are scores of dealers who ...

Love it, drink it, dont care.

I know it rots your teeth, I know it cleans copper better than Brasso, but I dont care.

Mind you I dont drink 20 cans a day - that's hardcore!

seardarren

get yourself out to Ras Al Khor (sp?) Used car Complex. They will bite your hand off with 15k to spend!

I am looking at a 1998 CL600 for that price - only 90k km's - Bargains galore out there.

Remember to haggle!
