hi, how do i go bout hiring a nanny/maid in dubai? I have tried placing ads in dubizzle, expat woman, expat focus etc but i havent heard anything yet!! i have been offered a job and i need someone to be there for her after school, she is 11 years old..

Is it dangerous for a expat female to live in Dubai? I have been offered a job as a flight attendant (with base in Dubai). My family and friends are worried about it since it is a very patriarcal society. Is it true that you need a permit to leave the country? My biggest fear is that they won't let me leave. I have read some articles about women who have been forced to get married and only were able to get out of the place with the help of their embassies. I would like to get some comments from female expats who went to Dubai to work there.

Where to report ANONYMOUS illegal person? Where can you ANONYMOUS report a person (expat) at the UAE government who is years working in UAE (Dubai) without a working permit or residence visa? Not only that but he is almost every evening drunk and drive his car,is impolite and rude to woman,etc................. He needs to learn a lesson,that's why. If you know website or email add,I would be much obliged.

Expat credit woes in UAE. Possible long term solutions ? For a long time we have not had a good debate on this topic. When governments fail to make payments, the easiest way is to print more currency or more appropriately borrow from the future. When banks fial, they run to governments saying that it is the tax payers' money or customers' money which was wrongly invested. When a common man / woman runs out of credit, either they abscond, flee the country or just land in prison. There needs to be a radical reform in the lending system with state intervention in such issues and also a reform in the judicial system that actually bleeds the state's treasury by punishing an offender. From a few well placed sources, I can quote that about 15,000 prisoners are in Dubai's Central jail serving their sentence. It costs the UAE AED 300/- per person per day to maintain these prisoners. That is a whopping 1.64 Bi AED. A personal cerdit rating system needs to be introduced. Easy credit is very seductive and man has always (from the time of Adam) succumbed to the lure of the forbidden. We should forbid everyone from borrowing more than what one can repay. Unless this system comes into place, the cycle will continue. I am leaving with 3 interesting links for those interested in reading more. If someone can think of a structure involving the consulates, law enforcement authorities and the banks, please do write back.

My question is - why don't we nip the issue in the bud rather than treating the effect (treat the cause instead)

move to uae or not>>>? Basically ever since I came back from the Emirates (went all over Dubai, Abu Dhabi), I've felt sick, depressed, can't eat, can't do anything all I wana do is go live there. I can't explain how it is but it really does open up your eyes to another world and Im sat here right now reading blog after blog of expat (british) amazing experiences there. I miss it. to put it short. You come back to UK, you dont see bugattis and modified X6s parked outside the mall anymore. You dont see pink hummers, and ferraris and lambos parked outside many homes You cant beep the horn outside a shop and the indian come running outside to ask you what you need Nobody opens closes car door behind you and takes your things inside-- you go food shopping and kill your fingers just to get it inside the house- Ive resorted to actually taking them granny bags wit me to Morissons. You dont get special treatment- over there because I wear abaya they think Im emaraty (my Bf is local and in national dress too because imm from near this region in the gulf originally but just lived in uK for studies) Nobody asks you how many items you have when you go into shop- you try them on and leave the scruffed pile for the filipino to clear up the foood is 7 Star here absolutely amazing hygenic and fast 10 lane motorways Being greeted with Maam and Sir wherever you go Government give uae nationals a villa when they get married or money to build one- so no mortgage for life etc Safeeeetly-- we left our car (porshe cayeene) running outside the hotel forget t on- hotel staff park it and give us key in morning Its really easy to skive work- sick note, send ur indian to sign for you- but they changed that now and they have finger print ahahah o sign in and out as many people abused the system All cars are white n tinted (my favourite) and all 4 x 4 --no smaller than 4.5 litre (cheap petrol) no expensive insurance , stupid rules about seatbelt etc basically a policeman stopped us...then checked documents...my bf hadnt done his insurance for 2 years.....and wasnt wearing seatbelt...he laughed with the policeman saying "aww dont fine me on both-!! " then the police man said "ok choose one insurance or seatbelt"- he chose insurance because even though its more expensive (100 pound fine) it doesnt hav points of licence like with seatbelt---compared to in Uk it would be other way--? what does this say about this place?? I dont blame the British expats for going there- this countrys expat population is now 75% + and local population so little Should I just marry him after we finish studies and live with him Hes a real man, He loves me, Pays for everything and never lets me spend a penny (part of the culture too as he says if offendshis manhood when I try to pay before you call me a gold digger!!!) O an being a housewife just means havin a maid, cook and really good social life. (chaffeur too if you dont wana drive) so NO. Women there are NOT oppressed. No tax- starting salary 10 K a month for british degree + villa + pool +car and first flight tickets home twice a year included--! and if you have kids the pay half their school fees No tax on anything- In uk you cant escae Tax even when you're dead- inheritance tax.!! and the people work for the government to pay them wages not the other way-!!the government doesnt care about its people sadly you need to share your thoughts coz im NOT dreaming. Ive seen this world.And it IS the reason every1 is obsessed with this country right now. btw- ive been twice this year and 3 times last

What's the meaning of? 1. conquering heights 2.he decided to pursue his passion of public speaking. 3.What's the relationship between the story of Arabnews newspaper and what was metioned in the previous paragraph The article is as follows: “Your dreams are not for sale” was a line that became watchwords for many Toastmasters attending the Division L Annual Conference on Thursday in Jubail. The words came during a powerful and often theatrical presentation by the 1999 world public speaking champion Craig Valentine. Sharing his story, he said he had been a well-paid IT professional when he decided to pursue his passion of public speaking. “When I approached the company vice president with a resignation letter, he dissuaded me saying he would increase my salary by 200 percent. I told him my leaving the company was not a financial decision,” Valentine said. “He again offered me up to $100,000. That was a big amount then, and it still is a big amount now. I told my wife about my dream of public speaking and the vice president’s offer. I thought her reaction would be ‘take the money, you fool.’ But then she told me, ‘Craig, your dream is not for sale.’ That was the clincher, and here I am before you talking about the art of public speaking.” Arab News Editor in Chief Khaled Almaeena captivated the audience with the story of the newspaper’s history and its achievements. “Arab News was started by two brothers from a garage in Jeddah. Right from day one, it made a difference in the lives of its readers. The story of Arab News, which completes 35 eventful years on April 20, is the story of Saudi Arabia. As the country marched ahead, so did we,” Almaeena said. “Arab News is not in the business of inciting people, or promoting hatred, or sensationalizing stuff. We don’t do that. That was the reason why we were among the first to welcome Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Abdullah’s call for interfaith dialogue and harmony,” Almaeena said. “We at Arab News always focus on the points of convergence rather than divergence. Our philosophy is to bring various nationalities onto one platform. We act as a bridge,” he said. “When Arab News was launched there were no human rights organizations. We were the ones highlighting the stuff that was happening to our expat guests. That is still the case. We have given a voice to the voiceless.” One measure of a newspaper’s success is what its readership comes to expect from it. “One night I got a call from a young man who said he wanted to see me urgently. I asked him what was the reason, and he said his mother-in-law was beating him. So I asked him, how it was I came into this picture? He said ‘because you are the Arab News.’ I was speechless. Then I arranged for a friend of mine to speak to the mother in law, and the poor fellow escaped the beatings.” Almaeena said women have come to play an important role in the newspaper’s popularity and success. “Forty percent of our subscriptions from Saudis are Saudi women. They have the money, and that is a fact and they want to read what is happening in and around Saudi Arabia. At Arab News 74 percent of our Saudi staff are women. The No. 2 at Arab News is a woman,” he said, referring to Managing Editor Somayya Jabarti. The conference theme was “Conquering Heights,” and the organizing Jubail Toastmasters Clubs reached a new pinnacle of success for its divisional grouping. Division L Gov. Waheed Lateef and Conference Chairman Taher Moinuddin said the event attracted a record number of Toastmasters, many of whom are business leaders who see the group as an effective way to improve communication skills. “We have people from all over the region — from Dubai, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jeddah, Riyadh and all the cities in the Eastern province,” Lateef said.
