We had only our flight and 3 nights booked in a hotel even though our trip was much longer, DH explained what we were thinking of doing and showed his NOC/salary letter and they seemed fine with that.

Hi there We did this last year (by we, I mean my DH.. Haha). I was nervous as we had left it very late to organise everything but it was not difficult in the end. Here is the link if you have not seen the website [url=http://ae.china-embassy.org/eng/lsyw/1/1/t855553.htm'>Tourist visa China[/url'> Prices are further down the page. Check what the requirement are if you are going to Hong Kong from/after the mainland. <em>edited by TOLB on 18/08/2013</em>

Hi Thunderbird I also take this pill and have never found it here. Like you, I asked in many places and nowhere had it. I am pretty sure I asked an Obgyn too, and she said it was not available and that I would have to try something different. It may have been me posting previously... ;-)

As soon as I logged on, I knew what I'd find. Whenever a cloud appears, TB"s thread is n'er far behind. She wishes and hopes and looks at the sky But often ends up disappointed wringing hands, asking 'why' Because although there is cloud, and rumbles above The clouds soon disperse, no need for wellies of gloves. In her disappointment, she is not alone Quinn10 and others are also sad it's dry as a bone. Q10 spent her holiday in Europe wishing for rain, I bet everyone there thought she was insane.

I think it's fair to give negative reviews. However not sure I would be calling a man with a van for an important (or time reliant) job, no matter how good the reviews!

I keep thinking that it hasn't been THAT successful if they are cloud seeding, we've had so many cloudy days but still really hardly any rain! Oman seems to have had loads but not much here.

We were in a similar situation about 6 years ago, the landlord was well aware that we were sharing and had no problems, even though he knew it was against the law (the guy that held the lease was very clear about the situation). As soon as prices started going crazy we were all evicted. Obviously we had to go and go quietly. The villa was then rented for 50% more than we were paying. I think it's a real shame as there is a time in people's life where sharing is a good option, however it obviously goes against some beliefs here so what to do?

I took this flight about 18 months ago. I thought it was fine, particularly after all the negative comments made before I went! As someone else said, legroom/seat width was good but toilets did get messy! Flight attendants were hilarious... Not the standard Emirates style that is for sure! So much cheaper than others I would do it again.

I love the Spectrum on One brunch, food was amazing and service was second to none. Yalumba is good, good for staying on after too. I think al Qasr is nice but would never go there out of my own choice. saffron I think is like a big cafeteria. We had what seemed to be a bedsheet as a tablecloth on our table.

Many schools have already released their calenders for the academic year 2013-14 and i have not seen any finishing as late as the 2nd week of July. Each year there are rumours about this however it has not happened yet.

I am sorry but the school year extension might not be an April fool joke. Last week we ( ministry of higher education ) received the information that for the academic year 2013. -2014 schools will have longer breaks during the year and will finish 2 nd week of July. I will try to find more about it through a KHDA source I was going to say this has been talked about for years on and off.

I was not a fan, felt like a done up hotel lunch. There were people in there in just about their swimmers. The food was ok but not a big range. I like going to different places but would not bother with this again :(
