The Milo we have found tastes nothing like the Milo in Australia. I miss Athena yoghurt, huge ranges of Arnotts biscuits...Cadbury blocks of chocolate always on sale for $1.99 and Blue Ribbon ice-cream (ice-cream is expensive here) and Smith's chips!! And I miss the races...loved going to the races during Spring Carnival...dressing up, champers, friends...

Spongemonkey: Yep you're spot on! edited by Trigg Beach on 09/10/2011 :D He is actually a very good ortho! I could tell, I have no isue with his expertise...have family in the dental industry and he comes recommended...I just hate giving my money to such an a*******! And I wish I could find an ortho who is prepared to work with the braces she has. I am returning home at the end of this month for her final appointment - so I will have much to say to our Orthodontist that put braces on 2 months prior to us moving!! Arghhhhhhh

My DH had braces put on in Australia in June and we moved here in August. I had hoped to find an Ortho here and organise for a handover from the Orthodontist we were seeing in Oz, and he was more than happy to send the x-rays, models and brief case history. The Orthodoontist we were referred to here in Dubai was possibly the rudest professional I have ever met. He didn't look at us when we went into his surgery, just motioned for us to sit down. No introductions. Saw that my DH had come along to the appointment and complained that "the whole family had to come". He proceeded to make accusations about the work done by the Australian Orthodontist, wouldn't listen to a brief history on what she had previously had done and seemed to doubt what information I was able to give him. My husband said to him that we were at the appointment to decide if we wanted to go with this particular Orthodontist and he replied that he would decide if he was going to take that case...not us! Anyway, he is meant to be very good and maybe I could put up with the horrendous bedside manner but he refuses to work on the braces she has and wants to remove them all and replace the braces...you should have seen my 12 year olds face! So any recommendations would be really appreciated.
