http://www.knowyourcountry.com/uae1111.html This is not racial profiling. coffeeBean, I do believe that you have to understand more about this. Housewives and those who cannot prove their money sources adequately are an expensive risk for the banks here if they are from East Africa. edited by CrashingWaves on 12/08/2013 And HOW is that not racial profiling?

I would say it's a no to the vaccine. Common sense about hygiene, drinking water and eating *should* be enough to protect you from most nasties most of the time. Unless you are staying in rural areas, packed in living conditions with a lots of locals for extended periods of time there really should be no need for the vaccine.

There's loads to do in Sri Lanka, India and I LOVE Thailand, but I think too beach centric for what you are looking for with your kids. ( Koh Samui side, where you would be away from the worst of the rainy season). Nepal however (please check the weather! I have never been this time of year!) is my all time favourite country. My daughter did her first mountain trek (only 4 days, but still) at age 7. She was so enthralled with the whole experience we are doing a 14 day trek next April. She wanted to go this April, but we had to go to India instead. There is SO much of value to be seen, to do, to experience in Nepal and if your kids are reasonably active, there are plenty of treks to suit anybody, at any level of fitness. Yes, there is no power, or rolling black outs. Katmandu is NOT the city it used to be, mores the pity. Thamel has become a tourist quagmire, but still remains great fun, great eating and marvelous shopping. There are still great family run quest houses with fantastic gardens hidden away where you least expect them. Katmandu has an enormous amount of history and culture, even though you'll likely only use it as a stop over as you head into the hills and to where Nepal remains magnificent.

Mai Tai, I just checked with husband and our UAE bank a/c and credit cards are still active, even though we don't use them...we've just kept the minimum balance required. Our UAE visas have now been cancelled for 8+ months, but for the first year after we left (the UAE) our salary was paid into the UAE account for lots of various reasons...salaries now paid locally and through pure laziness and unwillingness to deal with the dreaded 4 letter bank we just haven't closed it out. There doesn't seem to have been anything untoward happen because we have left them open. hth What about your statements/address issue? For us, we're still with the same company, so I think the UAE statements go to the Dubai PO Box, and the Oman ones go to the Muscat PO Box. As we never get mail anyway, who really knows! In theory the office girls just give us a wad of mail every now and again. Doesn't really pertain to your situation though, sorry.

Hi all I would love some advise about schools for my 3 and half year old.twins. They come.from a half British half Arab background so my ideal school is one that would give them the best of both worlds. I want them to know Arabic fluently but I do not want their English education to fall below what they would back in the uk .I've looked at the ' outstanding' schools but it seems none of them have enough Arabic. Also I doubt any have places for September 2013. Looking forward to hearing from you Even a straight forward BC school has at LEAST four Arabic lessons a week. When you compare that say with, PE, Math, Literacy French, etc, the balance leans towards MORE Arabic for non Arabic children than just straight forward English curriculum. Arabic speakers and Islamic studies are separated out again for extra tuition, within school time, but if your child isn't Muslim, but does have Arabic as a language (Ist, 2nd) then I'm really not sure how that works. That extra class seems to be Islamic studies rather than Arabic language.

She should cancel his visa and their liquor license and remove all alcohol from the house. Oh, I am sure that would work! Like all drug/alcohol/food and mental illness problems, removing the thing craved is only going to fuel the craving! Leading to lord knows what behavior to feed the habit. She could also start locking him in and put a gps tracking device on him, and bar the windows. There are children involved, and a sick human being who needs help.

Not making excuses or anything...promise! But is it his choice to be a stay at home Dad? Is he unmanned by his wife being the provider? Would professional help for him be an option? Apologies if this has been gone over before. My DH is now a stay at home dad, working remotely from home and I don;t think he feels unmanned nor has he felt the needed professional help to cope with it. Not saying that every man would be un manned by it, and I have friends who are stay at home dads who not only love their role, but are probably better suited to it. BUT if this guy is drinking during the day and doing the school run, then it lends itself towards being a drink *problem*. So, where has that come from? That requires help, not the stay at home dad thing, but it could be an issue, it could be genetic, he might just be a b'stard...

What's the camera in the house going to do? Who does she need the proof for? For her divorce? It's my understanding its not legal to do so, and therefore the evidence would be wasted. If she is worried about dealing with the alcohol problem and the driving, then waiting to get the proof could be fatal...for her own kids, their friends and others on the road. I do know that he will likely deny drinking and then driving, but this is a conversation that needs to be had between the 2 of them, and it better be frank and to the point and take place asap without kids around to witness it.

Soup. Dubai is missing soup. Plain ordinary soup. Run of the mill, everybody loves them soups. With crusty rolls and butter. For lunch. With one of those build your own sandwich/salad places, that serves soup and great coffee. Not a chain, not subway, not sodding tim hortons who invariably reply when I ask what todays soup is, mac n cheese mam and chilli. Peopled by staff who see you coming during your lunch hour and immediately start getting your order ready because they know you like maasdam on rye with ...whatever.

Thanks, ladybanker! Do you think you will manage to keep the weight off once you've got to your goal? It's the small portions which count, of course, and which I have always found so difficult.. Simples, a friend of mine has lost close to 10kg in 3 weeks following a very simple detox, and she's as happy as a wee lark. She has 3 more weeks detoxing (and she has had cheat days) and then will start adding things back in whilst learning to self regulate. I'm all for eat less, burn more, and make it a lifestyle habit, but understand that sometimes we need a shove in the right direction to get us started. When I compare this to another friend who has been on the Cambridge (??) plan for 3 months and NOT lost 10kgs, then I think I would chose the plan that allowed me to eat, rather than those pretend food sachets that replace all meals, and don't seem to do what it says it will.

I'm actually not really sure, I think my "reference point" for the average weekly shop is a bit distorted and scrambled by my having to work in 4 different currencies in the last 3 years and unfortunately I think everything is expensive because I'm stuck in thinking in 2010 UK prices! It is what it is and if I need or want the food I just buy it. Plus we eat out quite a bit as well. In fact, I think in KL it is cheaper to eat out than to cook from scratch. In the UK this is not the case, unless you count McDonalds as eating out. All I know is that KL is cheaper than UK, and UK is cheaper than Dubai like for like. I was amazed at how much shopping and wine we were able to get for GBP150 in Waitrose last Christmas. edited by Sugarbeach on 06/05/2013 I agree with this whole heartedly. I still think that whatever I spend here is too much, and overall I spend too much, but when I compare it to a recent trip *home*, I'm not sure how people survive..it's just SO expensive there, more so than here. And then while I think I bleed money in Europe, groceries seem so much more affordable?

I had the same problem here, plenty of specialists for adults, but found nothing for small people. (We're not a teen yet, so that made it more difficult). What we did find, quite by chance was a Learning Support system, staffed by Pyschologists etc in our own school. Who knew? so used to the mentality of Dubai and any child not fitting the profile not only not getting the help, but being labeled too difficult for the system. It's making a profound difference for us and for lil miss. I don't know how comfortable you as parents would be asking the schools for referrals? Given it may have a rebound effect on your child, or if that's a perception we have? But, they as child specialists in their own right, may be able to point you in the right direction?

FAR Far too much! I recently did an exercise for a month just out of pure curiosity to see if I can live (ie: all the household expenses, travel, treats etc) on what a lot of my friends seem to get as a weekly allowance for the same. I used to think it was generous, and easily done, and now I eat my words. I'm not extravagant by any means, and the whole exercise was a real eye opener. One friend gets a household allowance a month of what another friend gets per week, and I can't *do* the weekly amount let alone make that stretch for the entire month. Hats off to some ladies, you rock. I cook from scratch, we don't do processed food, I don't waste food, I freeze meals, we buy local and imported, and have always considered that am careful. Obviously, that's a myth that's been blown out of the water! One thing I did find doing this exercise, was that you tend to bulk out meals with cheaper items...pasta, bread, potatoes, pastry (look at the destitute gourmet for instance) as well as legumes, so it wasn't necessarily the healthiest, or carb free meal plan over all.

True true Lady Bee, a visit to a Dr or a health nurse if such a thing exists would probably put the Mums mind at rest as to the health and normalcy of her child. OR a chiro could diagnose just as happily, in my experience and with the right specialist chiro, of course. Given daughter of mine has TWO separate and distinct spinal conditions, first diagnosed by a chiro, and later backed up by a the pead, the GP and the ortho guy, and the chiros prognosis is the same as the other REAL Doctors prognosis except his course of treatment is gentle and non invasive while the REAL Drs would subject daughter to invasive surgery immediately, you'll forgive me if I recommend a chiro I trust to do what is right for the child, even if that course is to refer the patient onto a more suitable practitioner. ;)

My money's on Bruce Forsyth being next So far - Savile, Jim Davidson, Max Clifford, Stuart Hall, Bill Roache, Rolf Harris, Gary Glitter, Freddie Starr. What is wrong with these people???? what was wrong with the time ? Young impressionable girls bowled over by a crumb of attention from a "star"...swooning at the slightest look or touch...The time was permissive, if you don't remember the sixties you weren't there !! These ancient situations are being judged by today's standards.... even in the work environment, before the s exual harassment laws came in, a bit of slap and tickle in the stationery cupboard...men who thought it was ok to slap your bum as they walk past or cop a quick feel at any opportunity and the worst they got was a slap round the face... look at the Carry on films...it was a different world.... Jimmy Savile was beyond all that though, probably the most prolific s exual offender in British history and he got away with it because his victims didn't think they'd be believed - he was a national treasure, for any BBC exec to take that on would have been professional suicide so he was regarded as the gropey uncle - bit of a dirty old man but harmless... because in those days the extent of human depravity was never addressed... So Pikachu, are you saying they should not be called out now because it was acceptable in the 60s? some yes and some no.... How disgraceful. Is it disgraceful? really? There is a huge amount of truth in what Pikachu says....What was wrong with the time? Young girls were GROOMED for these roles, by their mums and aunts and friends who were all set on them having a secure life, or whatever. Girls accepted the manhandling looking at the hopeful long run. Other women became hirsute man haters, burning their bras in an effort so that WE can all afford to sit here and debate it from the comfort of our now acknowledged fantastic wonderfulness :D edited by arohadxb on 02/05/2013

SD, we have had friends of wee miss travel here unaccompanied. I was freaked out a bit, as the requirements from the UAE/Airline side were formidable. Parents coped with that and I had a sheath of paper work a foot thick to send the kids home...Oman were fantastic. If your kiddos friend has a pp that has easy visa access, then you need a letter of consent from parents, copies of their pp, and id cards.

Babies, even mobile ones, really are very simple to travel with. A tour wouldn't work so well, for the reasons already mentioned, but if you can plan your trip for yourselves, bearing in mind the childs needs at whatever age she is...naps, feeds, chillout time, then your whole family really will have a fabulous time where ever you choose to go. Please don't put off fantastic experiences travelling just because you have an infant! While they are tiny, you may need a bit more *stuff* but they pay you back by staying where you put them, and sleeping a lot ;)

What I really think is it's a change over from a care free friendship, where there are no time restraints, clock ticking baby feeds looming to make any Mum anxious. It's a change over period....before there was professional commitments and the rest was just fun dun fun. New Mum has the pressure of baby!!! work!! Husband!! and then friends. Now, some of them are going to make the transition over to the new reality, and some just wont. They don't know the *thing* new mum feels, nor the anxiety it can induce when timing is everything. And they won't. not til they have their own babe. Before you have kids everything is you you you and the devil take the rest to a certain extent...it's a massive life change. Feeling like youre a taxi driver to mates who can't see the difference between now, when it's a problem and then, when it was part of the fun is a symptom, IMHO. Yep, you'll get PITA's, but this might just be a natural time when friendships change, some for the good, and some will go by the wayside.

How frightening, and sad that a lot of you ladies feel that way about your *friends*. I thought the general idea was friends all mucked in together and helped each other. I don't drive and whether that is by choice or because I cannot has no purpose to this discussion. While I gladly accept lifts from friends, and am pretty sure they don't resent me for the dreadful imposition of my company, I could be wrong. However, I spend a great deal of time ferrying small children willy nilly, to activities and playdates and parties...they're not MY kids, and my taxi driver is kind enough to store and carry an assortment of car and booster seats in between each lift. This helps out friends who are working mums, mums with other kids with other commitments, friends/mums in general. Now, this taxi of mine costs a positive fortune...and I don't feel the slightest bit resentful of my friends who are impinging on my time/costs/travel. The very fact that you are attempting to measure this is just too sad and horrible for words. Sounds like some *friends* may well be worth letting go of, and it may be that it's some of you girls happily sat in the driving seat, not just the whinging spongers/time wasters. But that's just it you are doing something for your friends in return for them driving you around.From what I have read the OP is getting tired of constantly pandering to the needs of a few who give her no consideration in return,it is just expected. In that case I doubt it's the constant lifts/expectations of lifts that is the real problem for the OP. There's more at play in the dynamic of a friendship than who does/gives what. To be fair, I don't ferry kids in *return* for the lifts my friends give me when/if they offer them..i do it because it's part of the fabric of a childs social life to go and be somewhere and doing something in particular. Not every Mum can drop it all to get a child to where ever, and not all of the Mums are my particular friends. (Or have ever given me lifts! that's not the point)

Good luck with Nawras then. Once my disk was put in everything was fine, but things move at their own pace and not all of it makes sense at the time :) Apparently our area will get better coverage in the next few months without having to have the added whatsit. Not sure about gyms sorry, there are many varied groups on FB to check out, where can I find...is a good one for instance. There's boot camps and whatnot at the Wave which is pretty handy to where you are, a couple of gyms/classes that direction as well. Good luck.

It is possible to commute, but on a weekly basis, and even that would eventually wear you down. Many people do the commuter business flights. I think what will help somewhat is Oman moving over to Friday/Saturday weekend come the 1st of May, otherwise your weekly commutes are all out of sync...up until now if you worked in Muscat you would have been flying at 4.30am Saturday morning, and arriving back in dxb 9 or 10 at night on Wednesday. Most people only do the commute because it's set contract work for a limited time, or family commitments keep the family in Dubai for a set period, and then everyone moves to Oman. Personally, I would have Muscat over Dubai any day AND I get the best of both worlds by being able to visit Dxb friends reasonably regularly. I'd visit Muscat before deciding one way or another, but if you wanted to do a daily commute, I would scrap that plan.

Hi aramic, welcome to Muscat. Feel your excitement, I do love setting up house :) Carrefour and Lulu have appliances, as do emax...all worth checking out. Yes you can just get internet without the homeline. That is in fact more typical. We're in Azaiba and after over a year of using a dongle I eventually went with Nawras. Not brilliant coverage in our/my area but they installed a dish and I now have super fast fantastic internet. We couldn't go with Omantel as their DP# required for set up didn't exist at our older home and the whole thing became too difficult. The Nawras deal gives me unlimited access, and if I did want to add a home line, I could do so...just with our dish I need to buy extra (expensive) hardware as well as pay more a month for the base bill. hth
