My DH's favorite food is Iranian and he agrees that it is tough to find good Iranian food here in Dubai. I don't know why, though, since there are so many Iranians here.

The exact same thing happened to me about 12 years ago in Paris, except that the man was French instead of Pakistani. What a weird scam! I'd be more inclined to give them money if they'd just say that they're broke and could use a few dirhams!

Glad your all sorted! I got the (reading off the price tag!) omron nebulizer full set kit-92dhs. from super care phamacy next to Dubai London clinic in festival city (near ikea). The phone number on the price tag is 042325577 but not sure what branch that is for. Great! Now I need to get myself over there pronto! :)

Hi, just wanted to throw in 2 cents as our visitors just did this also this afternoon. And I'm nosy so I asked a lot of questions for them. :) There happened to be at least 15 people in their group as well, although half were children. Still, that's a lot, I think. Guests were wearing jeans and t-shirts and FROZE even with the outerwear on, so wear a sweater underneath if you go. Same as singing canary wrote, it's a huge ripoff. They said it was neat to touch the penguins, but so not worth the 175 dhs. One thing they did say that disturbed me a bit was that the guide explained what you can and cannot do when you're with the penguins, but there were still people disobeying the rules (like holding onto them when they wanted to walk or something). I wanted to get clarification on whether or not they were told off, but didn't get a straight answer. I guess what bothers me the most about that is how some people think they are above the rules and do whatever they want anyway. Urrrrrr! [b'> I was once on a safari in France and you are told to drive through slowly, never stop, and never open your window. We drove by some people who were stopped with their window open. I looked back and there was a woman in an abaya in the passenger's seat taking pictures of the big brown bears near her. I had to laugh a bit![/b'> edited by AnonDubai on 13/02/2012 <em>edited by AnonDubai on 13/02/2012</em>

Thank you everyone for your kind responses and suggestions. My DD is now using her nebulizer and I thank the helpful users of EW for that! I will update this thread if I receive a response from Omron as I would like to have a complete set again and I also think it is useful to have several sets if you have a child who has respiratory issues.

Hi! I have just spoken to a friend on the phone who gave me a great idea which I must share for those of you in my situation. All nebulizers and tubes are exactly the same. What is different are the parts where the medicine goes. You can replace those parts with any parts. It does not have to be the same brand. So my friend's suggestion is to go to the hospital where my DD has been treated and ask if I can keep their nebulizer parts because they throw them away after each use. <em>edited by AnonDubai on 13/02/2012</em>

I have a cylinder bit but not the blue bit that goes inside it aaargh sorry! Thanks for your help, NIP. I will contact Omron to see who their distributor here is. Surely you can't be expected to buy a new newbulizer every time a part needs to be replaced. I will update this thread if I receive a response from them. Thanks for your concern.

I have an ancient Mirajet Nebulizer...if any of the parts would be of use, you are welcome. Omran should be able to assist you, or call Life Pharmacy. Otherwise I have a pharmacist friend with good contacts, I can always ask. Call me. Thanks AQ. My neighbor actually gave me her vaporizer head but they are not the same brands so it does not fit in my nebulizer. I will contact Omron to see where I can buy a vaporizer head.

Mine is an Omron. Does anyone have an Omron vaporizer head that I could borrow for a few days? I would be ever so grateful and would return it promptly. I'll try to find the part in the meantime but I'm guessing I won't find it in Dubai and may have to order it from the USA. Which bit is the vaporizer head? I have an Omron. If you can find a pic of the bit you need I will see if I have it Hi NIP! The piece is piece #11, as AQ noted. However, mine does not have the cylinder type thing below it.

I honestly wouldn't compare Whitney with Wino. AW had no intention of helping herself and surrounded herself with people who fed her addictions and hangers on who only encouraged her behaviour, her circle was poisonous, she never stood a chance. But weren't the last 10 years of Whitney's life like that too?

Addicts make one mistake and that is to start whatever drug it is. They are almost powerless to the drug afterwards. I will never judge an addict because I know how much they suffer inside. If the sober Whitney had seen the addicted Whitney, she'd have been horrified. It's almost comparable to schizophrenia and that is a recognized "disease".

BTW, if you are due in May or June, you should have the maid start several months earlier. That is just my opinion because it will take a while to get settled into your home and routines. Also, it would be good to get to know her personality in case you are ever planning on leaving her alone with the baby.

Future Labour Supply Services 042667412 We paid them 4000 dirhams as a recruitment fee. I don't know if they have any experienced Ethiopian maids, though. Gulf experience was so important to my DH that we called many agencies before we found one who met this requirement.

I fully agree with you. I have lights-out for my children at 7:15 pm and that rarely changes, even on weekends. I'm always curious about people who don't eat with their kids though. Does that mean you make two dinners or do you just reheat the food for you and DH? Do you also do two clean-ups every night?

Is there a massive difference between the Union Co-op at Al Safa and the other Co-op? I went to the union one recently and it was rubbish...hardly any jars of sauces or tinned vegetables, and the fruit & veg were in an appalling state. I was not impressed! The prices of the few bits I did get weren't great either, barely any cheaper than Spinneys or Waitrose. The Union Co-Op and the Emirates Co-Op are not the same supermarkets.

If you can afford it, why don't you start him in 2013? If he is not doing well by the end of the year, you can have him repeat. I am in the same situation as you with two of my children and will definitely be doing that for one of them and probably for the other. Sometimes kids thrive at the early stages, only to struggle later on - when it is more difficult socially and emotionally to repeat a class. Yes, I agree with you on that. Personally, I would never put an average July born boy in KG 1 in September, but many mothers would. OP, you have to decide what you think is best for your child.

My personal opinion is that, if McDonald's is not willing to serve the market by offering home delivery, then I will not order from them. There are plenty of other burger places that do deliver. Does anyone know why McDonald's here does not deliver? I think it is the only fast food place that does not.

Why don't you use an agency? I think that is the easiest way but also the most expensive if you can afford it. You will need to be willing to train, though. There is a lot of info on your question on the Maids forum.

That is strange because I find fresh paneer in almost every supermarket I go to. I tend to buy the frozen paneer, though, because the fresh one gets moldy very quickly. But I agree with you that the frozen paneer is not as good as the fresh paneer. Which supermarket is closest to your home?

Your baby may have no desire to latch on if the nurses are feeding it formula. Maybe you should tell them to stop giving your baby formula ASAP. This could sabotage breast-feeding.
