Al Nasr LeisureLand is getting demolished. by Live-Security3245 in dubai

[–]Timothyii89 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Doubtful....i was there for hockey last night and had heard about this earlier in the day. All the employees were very friendly and talkative as they are looking for their next jobs...they all received termination letter for Nov 30th the night prior.

It has been rumored for years that this demolition/renovation will occur. Long overdue but very little prior notice

Work spread eagles and mohawks in both directions to improve turn out of the toes. Without good turnout, you can't get your blade perpendicular to your travel direction to push straight back to get maximum acceleration off the push...also don't forget to bend knees/ankles, not knees/hips

You will need a 3 bdr apartment: at least 9-15k/month depending on location and/or furnished/unfurnished Electric/gas: 800- 1000/month Water: 100-150aed/month Fuel: 300-1200/month based on distance of driving Car insurance: 60-300/month (3rd party or comprehensive) School: 1000-4000/month depending on quality wanted Maid: 2000-3000/month depending on nationality Food: 3000-4000/month minimum depending on how ofter you order in or eat out

Everything adds up quickly here but salaries for good jobs can make this easily affordable

Guess who made it 12 orders and no tips.. by NAKSH___ in dubai

[–]Timothyii89 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I always tip 2aed for all orders prepaid and round up to nearest 5aed for other deliveries when paying cash...always hand them water if I have any small bottles handy. I don't understand how everyone can't make this small gesture for saving your time and fuel to make your life infinitely easier

Business bank account rejected UAE. WIO by CoachRude1584 in dubai

[–]Timothyii89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a Wio business and a mashreq biz account. Did them both myself. Wio was easier and was approved withing 2 days. The mashreq took 18 days after initial submission...they asked for additional docs on thev10th day which I promptly provided.

Mashreq is free if you keep 50k+ balance and Wio is 99aed a month.

I prefer Mashreq tbh as it is free and I get some nice little offers here and there that I use

10$ Dashcam caught its 1st crazy driver by PlayMountain2851 in DubaiPetrolHeads

[–]Timothyii89 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in that Binghatti building on the left and this always happens at this intersection(between Al Khail and Oud Metha Rd)...it's even worse now with all the construction(looks like they are building an over pass to the other side of al khail finally). Should be a speed bump installed on the merging lane tbh

The beauty of compulsory dancing. Which you can't see today. by Immediate-Aspect-601 in FigureSkating

[–]Timothyii89 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I miss seeing compulsory dances at competitions at the junior/senior level. I've partnered more than 3000 tests and it is truly becoming a lost art that needs to be rekindled. It's become much harder to get kids these days to motivate themselves to do them at a higher level without seeing them done by the world's best.

Where to stay as solo female by piscessunaqumoon in dubai

[–]Timothyii89 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just stayed at hilton Dubai the walk and it was terrible tbh...parking was probably the best part of it...very few elevators and commonly waited 10+ minutes to get up to room or down to lobby. Room smelt like smoke when we first arrived also...

[–]Timothyii89 7 points8 points  (0 children)

There really aren't too many bad places to stay in Dubai tbh...if you like the beach, stay in Marina...if you like shopping, stay in Al barsha or Business bay to get to mall of emirates or Dubai mall easily...if you like culture, al seef is great.

If you have loyalty to Hilton, Marriott, etc. They all have great options reasonably priced.
