Pros and cons
Hi everybody.
I may be soon in the UAE.
Is anybody willing to list 5 (may be more) positive and 5 negative things about life in the UAE?
If you also want to comment on the workplace it is OK
Goody.

Yoman...
Unfortunately yes mate, the raw sewerage was being dumped directly into areas adjacent to popular beaches and recreation areas.
The likes of the Dubai Offshore Sailing Club etc. where orange cones went out no swimming signs put up. They are bringing in the blue flag system up there I believe where water quality will be tested and the appropriate flag displayed to advise if safe or not.
Are the waters really that bad, can´t you go for a swim?

The article is a pos...
Canoehead, does that mean that the article is a crap??
English is not my first language so I am not familiar with the word/phrase/slang of something being a ,,pos".
Have a good weekend, in or out of the sea.

I agree, spent 3 and half years in Dubai, had a cracking time, however that article was the best thing I have ever read on Dubai.
I didn't find anything I could disagree with, plus the attitude of the Brits in Double Deckers, reminded me of myself so much when I was out there!!! Sad really.

clear blue waters??
If you want clear blue waters drive over to Fuje and Khor Fakkan. They are on the Indian Ocean coast and have plenty of blue water.
From Scabby Dabby it's a 305km drive, each way.... (done it many a time).
on the west coast??? Only go in the water if i got paid for it.

Wasn`t the East Coast the part worst effected by the "Red Tide". Maybe Dubai just pumped the crap into the water as they didn`t want to be left behind in the " can`t swim here stakes ".
Darn, i thought this was Jet Blast. Oh well I`ll just click post anyway!

Laydees...
Just a quick question... are there any female controllers out there with you?
Just for planning purposes.. wanna see if we can both get a job out there. I heard that women in good jobs isn't the 'done thing' or is that rumour a bit old?!
Cheers.
