anyone here live in dubai?

seems nice there

not the kind of place i would like to do anykind of porn work. They block most adult sites so you would need to find a way around that if your planing that kind of work. otherwise its ok, good expat party scene etc.

i dont do porn.. i do mainstream.... do u live there?

besides theres already VPNs and crap

Would not even chat on a porn board from there. They arrested a guy arriving in the airport because they found a few poppy seeds from a fucking bagel on his coat.

dubai isnt that bad.. ive been there.. a its a muslim country but it isnt no saudi arabia..

i dont live there but ive been there lots of times. If they can spend that amout of money on the superscanner they have at dubai airport, i think they can get past a VPN and monitor what your doing. They have a moral crusade against westerns going on at the moment. I dont even transit through there anymore.
Have you been to the mid east before? What attracts you to Dubai?

yeah thats because the have signs in the "slum" parts of the city saying NO PHOTOGRAPHS ALLOWED... (the parts of the city where the workers that build the magnificent buildings live)... and they only allow photography in the good parts...

don't do any drugs, buy any drugs, or sell any drugs. Don't piss off the authorities while drunk or do anything most in the US find humerous. Serious penalties over there including death...

where can u score a 8 ball in Dubai?

Dubai was hit hard with the credit crunch and real estate bust. Even they needed a bail out from Abu Dhabi.

DUBAI -- Dubai stocks moved higher and interbank lending rates eased Monday after the emirate's government initiated a $20 billion bond program, half of which was taken up by the U.A.E. Central Bank.

The move allayed some fears that Dubai and government-owned companies would struggle to refinance debt obligations this year.

"The issuance at this time shows that, even if international [debt] markets dry up, the federal government and central bank will step in to help Dubai," said Yazan Abdeen, an equity fund manager at ING Investment Management. "It shows a real commitment to the development of Dubai and keeps its plans intact."

The Dubai Financial Market, or DFM, jumped 7.9% to 1652.98. The DFM shed 72% of its value last year.

Government-linked companies such as real-estate developer Emaar Properties PJSC and Dubai Financial Market PJSC paced the advance, both rising 15%.

In credit markets, the three-month Emirates Interbank Offered Rate traded at 3.39%, down sharply from 3.43% Saturday, a Dubai-based trader told Zawya Dow Jones.

Spreads on credit default swaps, or CDS, also tightened significantly.

Government companies such as developer Nakheel PJSC saw their spreads widen last year on concerns they would default on debt obligations as international credit markets dried up. Nakheel has $3.5 billion to refinance in Dec. 2009 when its sukuk, or Islamic bond, expires.

The U.A.E. department of finance said late Sunday that the $20 billion bond program would be used for Dubai to meet its financial obligations and continue its development program.

The bond is an unsecured fixed rate paper yielding 4% a year with a five-year maturity, the statement said. Dubai and state-owned company debt totaled about $80 billion at the end of 2008.

"Although we believe that Dubai is still very much in the midst of an economic downturn ... this outcome is a big shot in the arm for sentiment on the Dubai exchanges," said Ian Munro, head of research at MAC Capital Advisors, a Dubai-based investment-banking firm.

interesting post

dude, stay in latin america.
in dubai, you must have money to have a fun = fucked up country
latin america - no money= > can be still fun = not fucked up countries

or
dubai, you have money, you have whores => fucked up country
latin america, you are white and poor and you can still have nice girls => good countries

i know you have money, but its not great to live in a countries which base 100% of their life on fact, whether you have money or not ...

sorry for my english, i am a bit drunk.

he may have some money, but not enough for Dubai.
you need to be making serious bank to have fun in Dubai, a few million a year.

YOU CAN NOT AFFORD.

only a fool would go there now

What do you think America's about? Smae shit x 10 except most dont have a dime. And now that everyone is losing, all they own - peoples true colors are coming out.

Id rather try my hand at Dubai- then live here with all these under-achievers and thieves.

The USA is dying a slow death.

Dubai airport clogged with cars abandoned by fleeing construction workers

The roads around Dubai airport are clogged with abandoned cars left behind by guestworkers from the construction industry who are fleeing the country ahead of the economic collapse:

On the night of December 31, 2008 alone more than 80 vehicles were found at the airport. "Sixty cars were seized on the first day of this year," director general of Airport Security, Mohammed Bin Thani, told DNA over the phone. On the same day, deputy director of traffic, colonel Saif Mohair Al Mazroui, said they seized 22 cars abandoned at a prohibited area in the airport.

Faced with a cash crunch and a bleak future ahead, there were no goodbyes for the migrants -- overwhelmingly South Asians, mostly Indians - just a quiet abandoning of the family car at the airport and other places.

While 2,500 vehicles have been found dumped in the past four months outside Terminal III, which caters to all global airlines, Terminal II, which is only used by Emirates Airlines, had 160 cars during the same period...

"The construction and real estate industry has been hit following the global slowdown and the direct fallout is that professionals working in the realty industry are rapidly losing their jobs," said a senior media professional, in-charge of a realty supplement in Dubai. "In fact, my weekly real estate supplement usually had 60% advertisement and ran into 300-odd pages. In the last seven weeks, it's down to 80 pages and with fewer advertisments," he added.

Mumbai resident D Nair (name changed) had been living in a plush highrise in Sharjah for the past four years. However, the script went horribly wrong when his contract was terminated. Nair used all his credit cards to their maximum limit, shopping for people back home. He then discarded his Honda Accord before returning to India for good. Nair, who stays in a rented apartment in Navi Mumbai today, has a Rs15 lakh loan with a Dubai bank.

If you can't pay your bills there you get put into a slave labor situation until it's paid off so people are leaving there in droves.

i really want to go there

heheheh

wasn't there this case where some muslim guy fucked another dude, and that dude testified, but then the dubai court says homosexuals are punishable by death and that theres no way a dubai guy can be gay so they booted that dude out of the dubai.

that place is full of racists

You wouldn't be able to access GFY in UAE. Internet censorship is off the hook. My brother sent me a link to a t-shirt he bought, even that was censored. I was not able to access most of my sites, including mainstream ones. Music sites - also blocked. Definitely not a country for internet business. Very nice though

Everybody I know that has been there, sais how great it is... A couple ppl I know have even moved there from the US.

no more panama?
howd u like it there

Actually, 4 people have to see the dick going in and describe it perfectly until the judge gets a boner in order to be found guilty.

Dubai is nice if you are making $1 million + per year. You can buy a condo, then you will live nice. Prices are the same as USA.

Doobie Dubai.. no, no. (to the tune of louis louis)




sorry.



I'll try to actually be funny next time. Musical humor probably doesn't compute.

Nice place. I wonder, does it rains in Dubai?

panama is great.. but im looking for one more country to get away during the year.. dont wanna spend all year in panama..

and no it barely rains in dubai..
and no i dont make up to $1mil a year(i wish), so yeah.

Dubai, no thanks

I lol'd

But I love that song

There was a case where some se Asian gay guys had a wedding there a couple of years ago, the authorities arrested everyone there and forced them to take testosterone.

Its that scanner at the airport that really scares me the most. But as far as i know not all passengers are subjected to it. They apparently profile people, then take you aside and scan your bags and clothes. It can detect minute quantities of drugs. Even if you have it in your bloodstream they consider it possession and its a mandatory 4 year jail term. But you will probably get a pardon around ramadan! Even anti flu drugs can get you a 4 year stretch.
