Ladies and Gentleman.....friends and others
Have to agree with most of you...if you cant stand the heat then get out of the kitchen.
Dubai isnt for everyone........ if I had the knowledge I have now about Dubai, I might not have been so keen to move all this way.
We as expats are very mindful and respectful of the local culture and customs
However ........I do get a little p%$$ed off with people in blacked out windows running me off the road....driving dangerously close to my car at high speed and over taking me at more than 140km/hr on the inside on Shiek Zayed road ...........only to then pull off at the next off ramp 1-2k's further on.
(mindless and not isolated I can assure you)
there is one set of laws for us and another set of rules for locals or those who are connected.
The police are trying to do thier job but are halted if during thier enquries they find the person involved is "üntoucheable"
Dont bury your head in the sand .......stay real.
Dubai is a fast growing city and with that you have by virtue of that growth an increase in all kinds of activity.
Dubai isnt perfect ..but it has a lot to offer .....if you live your life here just doing your own thing and having a great time you will leave with fantastic memories.....
if you have a negative attitude and start out that way....... your time here will surely be limited
Hey .....ernestkgann .........did your wife wright that for you or is your femanine side starting to show through
and cargosales.....you cant compare Dubai with the UK.......why do people do that. hello!!!! anyway sounds like you guys are going to be hit with expat tax soon by your own selfish Govt....but lets save that for another thread.....
why dont we call it ..."is still worth living in Dubai now beacause its just like being in the UK....WE PAY TAX TO THE UK GOVT AND IT RAINS just like home"
