i do not think that there would be any special qualifications for maids. it is unskilled work. they should just interview a few until they feel good about one and explain what should be done with a lot of patience, over and over.

if they want full time, they should still employ one under their visa, but instead of providing a room, they can pay an allowance for accommodation and transport. i know many who does this.

i did not know mobile spray tan exists. is it someone coming to your house and spray you with a bottle of self tan cream? can you just apply yourself maybe? there are one or two sun bed type tanning places, but they are not very popular for obvious reasons (it is sunny outside, and relatively easy to find a pool to lounge by). maybe there are spray tan places too. if you have the entertainer body book it surely has relevant vouchers.

I think the childish drawing should go. It really has nothing to do with the Expat Woman. I think a distinctive redesign rendering of the words "Expat Woman" should suffice in stead. Font is hard to read, seriously headache-inducing. User names should be bigger and bolder than the entry texts. Colour palette should be customizable. Login box should be javascript based so we don't have to go to a separate page to log in. I really think using a script like vBulletin should address most of these issues. couldn't agree more! plus the login boxes are on top of other text, clearly it wasn't tested for every browser, the formatting is wrong.

the only useful feature would be private messages. of course that still has not happened. changing the colors, messing up formatting, adding more blinking flashing advertisements - well, it does not make the site better.

you're welcome! i am not sure about the warranty, maybe not. But I would not worry, if the phone is older than a month and works well it is unlikely that it will suddenly produce a problem due to manufacturing error.

Does anyone have a similar story and got a call from the post office? sorry I know I sound like an idiot but I don't know what to do at this point. I guess the only thing to do is to wait a week or two. Anyways, hope you get it eventually.

i had a parcel sent to my street address via empost and they delivered it to my previous work address.... somehow my name was attached to this PO Box - have no idea how they managed it. simply because they do not even read the street address. they just put in into the po box. There was NO po box on the package - there was only the street address (as i thought it was being couriered). weird. emirates post does NOT deliver to workplaces or homes. so it must have been courriered?? OMG - it was delivered to my old work PO box. ok, i understand now. if you wrote the story in a clear manner at first place you could have saved your "OMG" exclamations.

ok I called them this morning (customer service of emirates post) and they said either the package will be discarded *yikes* or sent back!! I don't have a tracking number or PObox but my phone number is on the package. Does anyone have a similar experience and actually received their package? No P.O Box and no tracking, just a mobile number...anyone? I do not think that your phone number is on the package. That is only required for courriered packages. The newlook packing person most probably found the mailing address sufficient (he could not know that there is no home delivery service here, that just does not occur to anyone who is so used to the home delivery postal system as people in the UK). Even if you have the phone number on it, which i doubt, you must be very lucky to get a call, emirates post has a thousand mis-addressed packages a day, why would they treat yours different? Btw I ordered stuff from UK and was always courriered, not sure why Newlook went for normal post? Or was it you opted for such?

not sure, i guess that really depends on your lifestyle and the number of people in the family. but in total, about the same what you pay anywhere else.

you pay dewa for water, electricity, housing fee, etc, as usual. however, the aircon is centrally operated, it is fed with chilled water from a central plant. you pay the palm district cooling charges which covers the chilled water production fee. consequently, your electricity bill will be much lower as you only use electricity for computer/ hair dryer/etc and not for aircon.

the upper level of Financial Center shopping area , near Zuma bar is full of little art galleries. also there is mirage on beach road. if you go for more mass produced pieces, there are art fairs every month usually in times square, see posts here, or if you go for more commerce, try the picture sections of Home Center, @Home, etc.

infrequent use of your iron could allow time for little fish starting to bread in your iron's steamer water tank. when you plugged in your iron the water started to warm up, practically boiling your poor fish. this may be the origin of the smell. my advice is to remove the dead fish from the water tank, sterilize it an use the iron more frequently.

You might want to read where one of the brothers received his degree and watch the video on the website and listen to his not American accent before you make such comments. she did not say the doctor was american, she said the website makes you think their business model is like those american money making weight loss plots.
