Ahhh, the magical story of the Dihram/Dinar being its own currency......not to burst a bubble but too many deals are being done for this to happen for a long while( mind, I still think Ireland have a shot at the 6 Nations next year!).
Your look at prices stands true all over ME but you know why your still here............As the advert says
Housekeeper (full time) = 120BD/month
Beer at the club = 1BD
Petrol = 100f/litre
Sitting in the sun, paying no tax, PRICELESS
I know groceries are a lot and the traffic is a bitch but compared to the real world we are still on a winner. Those that want that veiw from a seat out of here should get the balls to go! No-one keeps you here but yourself!!!!!!
Weather at home = 60 deg, Rain Showers
Taxes at home = 45%
Petrol = 1.25Euro
Cost of calling home to wind up the oldies, FREE with SKYPE!!!!!!!!!
