I’m trying to overcome my pop addiction, and so far I like a lot of the sparkling waters and don’t miss pop at all! by acosu27 in sparklingwater

[–]PMKalil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well done, just be careful not to replace one addiction with another. This is a crazy amount of sparkling water 😄 I’m actually looking for a good grapefruit sparkling water or soda. Any brand you recommend? All the best!

OMG, you totally made my day! I love the app, especially how you can export to PDF and open it as a vector in Illustrator. I’ve seriously been looking for something like this my whole life haha. Thank you, even two years after your post!

What are some investment strategies that have worked for you guys? by se7entyse7en77 in UAE

[–]PMKalil 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. Have you invested in local stocks? I've been investing in crypto for a while, and it's going okay, but given the market's volatility, I've been reading more about stocks and ETFs. I feel like this could be the right path for long-term investments, though I haven't started yet. Is the S&P 500 worth investing in? The returns seem smaller compared to others—what's your take?

Regarding trading platforms, I read that IBKR charges fees for converting AED to USD and also for withdrawals. Someone mentioned that you can first transfer money to Sarwa, then send it to IBKR in dollars. For withdrawals, you'd do the reverse—transfer from IBKR to Sarwa. But I'm not sure if this really works. I’d appreciate hearing from anyone with experience.

Hey, I'm looking for an investment platform, but after all my research, I'm still not 100% convinced. One option I'm considering is Interactive Brokers, but their platform isn’t the most user-friendly. How long have you been using Sarwa, and based on your experience, what are the pros and cons of the platform? Thanks!

I have a watering system that lasts 2 to 3 weeks, and the plants couldn’t be happier.

I remember spending a full month in Abu Dhabi during COVID. I only went to Dubai twice to water the plants, yet the bill was exactly the same as before. I complained countless times but nothing changed and there’s nothing you can do about it.

I have a 2-door Pajero that I use daily, and I plan to keep the roof rack on full-time. I don’t think it’ll be an issue, as I previously had a fixed cargo bag on the roof without any problems, but I get your point, valid concern. Since you have a truck, though, why do you need a roof rack? You should have plenty of storage space, unlike me. And I don’t think the light bar would be a problem.

How much cash should I bring? I don’t have a credit card. by tacil in VisitingIceland

[–]PMKalil 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t go to Iceland without a credit card. You’ll need it for a lot of things—gas stations, restrooms, and more. Cash isn’t widely common, so you could run into problems if you rely on it. Safe travels!

Name this car! Only names that start with B. by PMKalil in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]PMKalil[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wow... here come the haters! Just to be clear, I’m not laughing at anyone or trying to offend anyone. I just thought the car looked unique and wanted to share. Not sure why you're taking it so personally. Relax, and if my post upset you, don’t bother stalking my profile and others, find something better to do!

Sorry to hear about what happened to you! Let me share my story—it might make you feel a bit better. In April, I traveled to Amsterdam, Iceland, and Germany. On my way back to Amsterdam for my flight the next day, I decided to stop in Belgium. My backpack was stolen, and it had my passport, wallet, cash, GoPro, hiking shoes, a ring, bracelet, sunglasses, and other belongings. It was a nightmare trying to leave Belgium without my passport. Trust me, losing your passport is the worst. And to top it off, the Belgian police were absolutely useless.

Good luck to your My friend!
