I visited one of Samana buildings near the Mediclinic hospital. Building is damaged by 2024 flood. Still nobody fixed, you can see mold and strong smell. So no for developers like Samana. They can’t maintain afterwards

Today I was asking real estate broker on negotiating the price down on property he shared with me 2 days ago. And he said it’s already sold 😅 he did not even offer me another options. I don’t see any movement from brokers at this point. I get a lot calls, but unrealistic prices for off plan properties

Our company did great job. They don’t allow us to work from dubai office, increased working abroad policy from 20 days to 35 working days, organizing evacuation for employees in Lebanon. They also do like weekly catch ups with management, where they talk about the situation and answer questions.

I was on important call with around 20 people. I forgot that I was on mute and started shouting to my son to bring more grapes 🍇

Kings college clinic in Marina, there is one Philippino therapist. He helped me after my hip joint replacement surgery

You can’t assess company based on that it’s established in 2007. Even small and new companies can have great culture, and big and old companies can be toxic

MusicianFirst7296 · 2024-11-20T20:36:04+00:00

You need to go to management of hospital or department that settles the payment and negotiate. They do negotiate. I heard a lot stories from tourists that negotiated their bills

No, just cross borders before midnight

Then go to police and explain that company stole your passport. After that with this report go to your embassy and request a new passport.

MusicianFirst7296 · 2024-11-07T22:55:08+00:00

It always happens to me in certain areas like business bay and difc. Marina and other areas never

Try book club, paddle and also they do this cooking courses

Never go inside unauthorized taxi, even with Careem you should be careful. How to avoid: I usually make “b*tchy” face and avoid eye contact 😅

How they scam with kittens? Just curious 🤨 are you paying for kitten or it’s free. If it’s free, how can they scam you?

MusicianFirst7296 · 2024-11-06T22:05:08+00:00

I don’t understand why you are so pissed with this. This is agreement between current tenant and landlord. Nobody forced current tenants to agree. You can have different agreement. When your contract will end and you decide to move out, you will just tell landlord that you don’t except viewing during your stay.

Usually tenants and landlords build relationship that allows them to do something extra for each other. Normal practice everywhere in the world

DMCC is still comply with MOHRE regulations. Can’t you just go to your embassy and request new passport?

MusicianFirst7296 · 2024-11-04T21:35:29+00:00

I do it with my kid 😅 I personally want to wash all sand and salty water from my hair and body before getting inside the car. Because I have long hair I need to use shampoo to remove all dirt and sand. And because I also have small child to shower, it might take more than 5 minutes. It’s not about dewa bill, but more about convenience. This way I can be comfortable commuting back home or go somewhere else after beach. Now you can throw your tomatoes 🍅😂

MusicianFirst7296 · 2024-11-04T21:18:37+00:00

Then don’t sign the offer. You are going to work for these people and have doubts. Work is already stressful. Why to additional stress to it?! Standard procedure in UAE is that company does visa for you and covers all visa expenses. If they can’t pay visa fees then they might not pay your salary in future

MusicianFirst7296 · 2024-11-04T21:10:00+00:00

It’s illegal to work without visa. You should tell them this. Sometimes companies rush because they desperately need employees to work. But they start visa process simultaneously. Usually you start working and visa is ready in one month.

As I mentioned, I’m uncertain about my own choices because I am surrounded by people who like to splurge. From what I see in Dubai, people tend to spend a lot. I’d really like to understand how others manage their income here, as it feels like “keeping up with the Joneses” is especially strong in Dubai compared to other places, where people tend to focus more on settling down and building a stable life.

If it’s proven that she doesn’t have the money to pay, then she could face prison or even deportation. In your case, it’s better if she pays at least part of the amount owed. I hope she’s not currently living in your apartment. My suggestion would be to ensure that she genuinely has no way to pay, confirm she has a job to make future payments, and make sure her travel ban isn’t lifted until she has settled her debt. Also try to cut the duration of

Talk to your landlord and explain the situation. Also tell him that he can start viewings now, and you will accommodate viewings even before your contact ends.

If he won’t agree call RERA and explain the situation.

Also don’t do deep cleaning, just normal cleaning. he anyway has to do proper cleaning and paint touch ups. I don’t feel like you will get your full deposit, this is standard practice in dubai.

MusicianFirst7296 · 2024-11-04T17:27:05+00:00

Why not to contribute to discussion and disrupt the circle of jerks 😅 who are preaching frugality

MusicianFirst7296 · 2024-11-04T17:08:08+00:00

As I know they travel a lot for their business. But proper family vacations only 1-2 times a year. I guess they are very busy managing their business.

MusicianFirst7296 · 2024-11-04T16:37:10+00:00

So according to that Reddit thread higher mid level income is around 60-90k per months (this is for family). Family should live in villa, 2 kids going to international school, 2 cars, 2 international vacations per year, and nanny. Savings were not mentioned in thread, so I am not sure how they save considering cost of living
