Some foolish man tried to touch my backside when I was at the supermarket. I suspected he was going going to try something when he got way too close in the tampon aisle. So before he had the opportunity, I 'accidentally' swung round with my metal basket and caught home full on in his meat and 2 veg. Obviously, I did apologies profusely before walking off with a smirk on my face. Dubai has its fair share of creeps. Ugh! Why did you apologize?

Thinking of you, Buttercup... I have been in your situation many times in several different countries and I still cringe when I think of how I did nothing... do you mean did nothing whilst it was happening, or did nothing about reporting it afterwards ?? Both. This thread has brought back many memories to me. All I can say is that after becoming Muslim and wearing hijab, I have become much more assertive and these things have not happened to me since...

Of course I'm biased because I'm from the Northeast but if you are flying into JFK, I think you should stay in the Northeast. There are so many things to do and see there and I agree about going to DC. IMO, it is the most beautiful city in the USA. Have you already booked your tickets? I do agree that you will see a different part of the USA if you go down South...

I suffered from horrible acne for a very long time. It started around the age of 10 and really only stopped when I got pregnant with my first child at the age of 26. I really think Roaccutane is the best course of treatment. The side effects are only really bad if you get pregnant while you are on it. Otherwise, you will have some dry skin but the happiness of having clear skin makes it all worth it.

I had a pedicure recently at the Juice salon in the Arabian Center in Mizhar. The girl's name was Katy and she was very professional and did not speak to anyone nor to me. She was very good and I'd go to her again. I agree that I don't like all this chitchat in Tagalog around me when I get a pedicure and I do not like being insulted for my appearance.

I think it is worth it, Jenni. Once you are in, you can get an appointment with him rather easily. He has helped me with issues with my children that other doctors haven't bothered to investigate. As a native English speaker, I also appreciate the fact that we can understand each other 100%.

ok Lulu's is in the Arabian Center. I think theirs costs less than 10 dirhams. If you are close to Uptown Mirdif, then try Spinney's. You can try any pharmacy, but you'll pay a lot for the tests.

Nicotine addictions are very strong. She may be ashamed of it. If she is good, would you consider helping her overcome the habit by buying a patch or something like that? If not, you may be stuck with a smoking maid. I would see that as a contract violation on her part.

Also you need to make sure that a male is "claiming you" as you cannot exit without a male chaperone. This. V. important. Also, Riyadh is more conservative than Jeddah. Only the abaya is mandatory, it is not illegal to not wear a shayla, but most would probably feel more comfortable wearing one is Riyadh. The religious police apparently do sometimes ask women to cover their heads I read 2 books that you may find useful - one is "Inside the Kingdom" (Robert Lacey) and the other "The Middle East Unveiled" (Donna Marsh), which is a very good and practical guide for western business people. A blog about KSA which is really good is "The Blue Abaya", by a Finnish woman who married a Saudi and lives in KSA Really interesting blog! Thanks for posting that!

Hi Marianna! If you want to sponsor her and use an agency, then I think the only way you can do it is hire from abroad. It takes a lot less time than you think, and if you act now, you could have a maid within a few weeks.

I will also be here for most of the summer. As others said, swimming is a great activity and you must try to do lots of playdates. Going out to malls during the day will be hard during Ramadan because most food outlets are not open. However, you can plan around this if you are organized.

I actually think that this is genuine....I know I have muggggg written on my forehead....but still, it is the talky walky that sucked me in. I didn't get that part at all. Why is the maid using a walkie talkie? Is it called talky walky in British English?

Interesting discussion... As soon as my front-loader goes, I am getting a top-loader. After 3 top loaders I am so glad to be back on a front loader. Those top loaders are a crock of *****, really once you google reviews and read all about them,.....uffffffff.....anyway, there are some great front loaders now that will take a 12 kg load, I believe there is even a 13 kg one but I have not seen it yet. Thanks for the info. Once my washing machine goes, I will ask you for a recommendation on what to buy.

I guess it is whatever works for your family. That is the best answer, you really don't need to ask everyone about their personal habits.... Yes, that is true. You need to find the best solution for your family. Also, depending on how old they are, maybe they could take a shower without you so that it is less work for you in the mornings.

I guess it is whatever works for your family. If your children wake up hot and sweaty, it makes sense to shower them in the morning. It also depends on your daughter's hair type and whether you choose to use a blow dryer or not in the morning.
