why are you veering away from BC? I switched from US to BC and it is actually ahead. you COULD send your child to BC for a couple of years then transfer to US and that would be easier. more places open up after year 1 and your child may even be a little ahead

I have been to Orlando Disneyworld many times. Still my favorite and I am trying to twist arms to go there this time because they have a new section and new animation hotel. Hitting a brick wall though convincing anyone. I read the reviews on trip advisor about Tokyo and as katnip posted the common complaint is the massive wait times for rides. i am looking at staying off site where they still provide shuttle buses in France

thank you katnip. I have been to Hong Kong a few times already and once to the Disney there (@2006) and we saw everything in the park within a few hours. no lines either! the rest of the family wants to Euro Disney but the prices are triple (!!!) that of Florida or CA for hotels. I guess we will look into off park hotels as well. Tokyo was a spot I was curious about as that way I could have seen all the Disney's , the hotels were much cheaper and looked better. But long lines like the ones your describing can really damper the day. We went to Disneyland the day after Christmas and the park was so full it closed at 1pm. The lines so long (some 2 hour waits!) that by the end of the day we only got to go on 5 rides total. thanks again

Anyone been to both? I have been to the Paris one years ago but never Tokyo. Which one would toddlers enjoy more? Looking online and gobsmacked at the prices for Euro Disney. If anyone has feedback concerning wither and the hotels there I would appreciate it thank you

you can get it in most pharmacies and it is very cheap generic brand I have used the 0.025% with luck in the past but have not been able to find it lately and used another percentage that the pharmaciest assured me was the same but it left my skin terribly raw (not dry but raw like I had been burned) I will be seeing a dermatologist in a few weeks and I will ask him more about it

I went to the Dubai Mall location a few months ago. I have not had enough experience with facials to really comment on how well and experienced they were. However, I was a bit put off that immediantly after the facial and consult they were pushing me to make my next appointment and even called a week later asking me to make one again. I have only had a few here and that did not happen elsewhere. I know it is very minor but just found it slightly annoying

I am wondering if they went and charged you the max for everything I know when I go in to places I am USALLY told before they start mixing the colors that due to my hair length I will be be charged the max suprised about the toner though. In the US I am charged for the toner but it is cheap but here I have not been charged yet

I have a child attending WIS who is currently in year 1 anything specific you would like to know? The biggest con in my opinion is the class sizes are very large. I would have liked them to also acknowledge other cultural holidays (Christmas, Diwali, etc)-other than that the teachers and staff I have come across are lovely. The classes are very diverse which I am thrilled about and seem to be the most diverse when compared to other schools.

Juan's has been the only place that has gotten my color correct. My hair tends to get brassy and borderline "orangey" in spots quickly. Even when other hair colorists insisted it would not here it does. He is the only one that really listened to me on this and it worked. The blowouts there are fantastic too !!! I have not tried salon Ink but heard from a few ladies that were happy there. It is more expensive but did not seem any different than NY prices to me. If color is not done correctly than you wind up paying more for the correction. I also tried Maria Dowling salon when I moved here and my hair got that brassy color within a week even though I used all the recommended shampoos/conditioners sold there. At the consult they were nice and slow making sure they understood what I wanted but I still had bad luck. They were very reputable

Can someone explain the difference between botox and fillers? both fill in lines?? I have never had either. I'm 40 and my hair reaches my chest which is not sagging (probably from all the shea butter and wearing sports bra's to bed for years). Short hair makes me look older -when I tried it everyone (even the stylist said so) but my face is very round. After that (and other threads/living here) I am very curious about botox/fillers. really the only noticeable wrinkles I have are between my eyes but i am seeing a "fold" develop from the side of my nose down to the outer lip. not sure how to put this. I have booked an appointment in March for a consult with a dermotologist but would be interested in others feedback

Most ladies I know look much younger with longer hair even below the shoulder. As long as it is vibrant in color and not very thin on the ends. With the exception of a few ladies I know the majority look at least 5-8 years older when they cut a significant amount of hair off and for whatever reason men seem to be most opinionated on this

add me to the search! the closest I came to finding one was in the Laura Ashley catalog and it was not fully my style as it was a mirrored one but I was giving up. You can order it and it will take @ 3 months BUT the honest manager at the store did not recommend it because the structure did not look sturdy and she had assembled a few. They have a smaller one which she suggested but it was more of a table with the mirror on top. I wanted one of those old femine Hollywood glamour styles.... I see them on google/pininterest but not out here. I may go the route of having one made

This could be me writing a large portion of your post OP, we may even have children in the same school. I cant offer advice as I am struggling because I feel my child is getting overwhelmed and the "gap" is getting wider but I am following AmyAus82 advice and getting a tutor AND one on one daily. The teacher is lovely but the class size is very large here

Although when I did first move hear, I heard a lot of that happened at parties in Jumeriah .. was that a Dubai rumour? Other areas now apparently ;-) Where in Jumeriah!?!?!? no pampas plants around here

My cousin does this for a living for corporations. Cleans up the systems when there has been a hacking or anything else. She has been with a company for years doing this as a career. Everything mentioned on here is helpful BUT not full protection If someone wants to trace and follow you and has the means they can no matter what you download or do. They can follow you from another source I would suggest she haults whatever she does not want him to see and goes to another location to communicate from another/new account if it is that pressing

I dont think it is a cultural issue as far as the parent themself is concerned but its a safety issue. In my home country I also started working in a mall at 13/14 and I would let my young teen (when they reach that age) walk around but certainly not here!

Thank you for all the information, especially about RevitaLash . All contain ingredients with side effects and Latisse I have gotten in US with a prescription. As for those looking where to get the others I'm sure many of the cosmetic/ dermatology offices carry them without a prescription.
