Do they sell Overnight/nigth diapers in Dubai?. I dont remember seeing any and my 6 month old baby is leaking almost every night. I am getting tired of so much laundry and the poor boy all wet. I know this is quite an old post but just want to share with other moms a super diaper I've used in Japan that is now available in Dubai. The brand name is Merries and it's super absorbent, never leaks, very comfy fit and "breathable" (air through technology). It's a bit pricey than the usual brands but it's worth it and give you and your bub a good night's sleep! Available at Union Coop Safa/Jumeirah, Al Barsha and Al Wasl.

I am moving to Dubai next week and posted a thread to find out where I can find the Japanese brand Goo.n Diapers but no reply, are these not available in Dubai? What diapers do you use for babies that develop nappy rash from the regular diapers? I tried huggies last week and my baby got a huge rash, I never have any problems with Goo.n. What diapers do you use and where to get? thanks! Hi, I don't think Goon Diapers from Japan is available in Dubai but Merries Diapers is available! I used Merries for my baby in Japan as well and highly frustrated with the other brands here. Thankfully, Merries is here now. They're available in the Union Coop Safa/Jumeirah, Barsha. My baby don't experience any diaper rash with Merries.

Thanks but we would like a live-in housemaid, not live out. http://www.expatwoman.com/forum/messages.aspx?TopicID=167247

Hello, my daughter is in Star International School - Al Twar. She's been there since KG1. She's in Year 2 now. I can enumerate the things we like about the school: 1. Few students each class, especially in the younger classes. My daughter's class has only 21 students right now. 2. Strong emphasis on language subjects - they are having English, French and Arabic. The Arabic classes have really taken off since the Ministry of Education's assessment last year. 3. Teachers are highly qualified, most from UK, Ireland, South Africa and New Zealand. 4. Tuition fees are much lower than Star International School Mirdif and Umm Shief. 5. Staff are helpful. 6. Teachers assess children's performance regularly and report to parents. They also give extra classes to slow learners. (at least in my daughter's class!) 7. Personal reason: the school is very near us. I don't want my daughter to wake up at 5am to catch the 6:30 bus or spend an hour in traffic in the morning. These are the things on top of my mind right now. As a mom, I am happy with the school and my daughter is happy there, which is the most important. Hope this helps you decide whatever suits your family.

So if the semis or finals start at 12noon, what time is it best to go to the stadium to get a fairly decent (near to court) grandstand seat? THanks in advance!

They have replied -- NO MORE TICKETS. I am very devastated because my father will surely, surely be heartbroken!! I sent the email very early today morning. Hate the lack of transparency. What time should've I sent the email, at 12:01 AM? (as soon as the date changed to 10th Jan) So so so upset. Congrats to the ladies who got their tickets!

Anyway, I sent an email to book the Prime A tickets this morning as they are not sold online or at the box office but as of now, I have not received a reply/confirmation yet. So frustrated!

But what about the tickets that are NOT sold online or at the box office? How long should I wait before I get a confirmation, if it will ever come at all? Anyone had experience booking/buying Prime A tickets?

Thanks so much for the replies! The Dubai Tennis Championships website has updated the ticket info (http://www.dubaidutyfreetennischampionships.com/Tickets/Tickets.aspx) saying, "Prime A seats can only be booked through [email protected] from 10th January" I still tried to send an email but alas it bounced back. So my question is, after reading that ticket info, Prime A tickets are NOT sold at the grandstand on January 10th? Anyone with previous experience? TIA

A Wii and a Playstation are two different gaming consoles. Wii is from Nintendo and Playstation is from Sony. Wii Sports is a game played using the Wii console. Wii Sports is fun and I'm sure your kids will love it. :-) AND if ever you want to give them Wii Sports, you will have to buy the main Nintendo Wii console and the game CD. You can ask any sales person for this - it is always better to see the things in your own eyes than just reading it here. Hope this helps!
