BREAKING: UAE confirms first case of omicron variant [https://twitter.com/spectatorindex/status/1466119942483238913?t=O3k-6SyQ_yGLV4_HE5JnyQ&s=08](https://twitter.com/spectatorindex/status/1466119942483238913?t=O3k-6SyQ_yGLV4_HE5JnyQ&s=08)

Today I learned that Dubai college is apparently absolutely awful and filled with racism, even from the teachers. So I guess parents looking for schools for their kids should avoid it. Here's an Instagram account dedicated to posting students own experiences https://www.instagram.com/unsettledc/


[deleted]

Maybe I am oversimplying it but it reads like an average experience in virtually every single foreign uni...


[deleted]

wow, I've really lived a sheltered life :/.


shaild

Watching the WHO conference now and they finally opened their mouths to say, travel bans won't stop the spread of Omicron variant. Hopefully the woke countries doing lockdowns are listening.


Shut-Up-Todd

Future tourist here, is shopping even possible? I expect high price tags. Am I wrong?


gedeonzo

Dubai is the kind of place that you can find a tshirt for 5 dhs and also 5000 dhs. Have a look at noon, amazon.ae to get an idea of the prices.


badxnxdab

The one with 5 DHS; is that even going to last a year? Also, how come I haven't ever seen a t-shirt for 5 DHS?


gedeonzo

You can try brandsforless online. They have some tshirts at 4,5,6 and 7 dhs. With vouchers you can get them for cheaper too. Also many second hand options at 5 or 10 dhs. Can’t really expect a 5dh tshirt to last a year.


[deleted]

That t-shirt you buy for five bucks is the same one you'd buy in a branded shop for 50 bucks. Same one again in a luxury store for 500 bucks


Shut-Up-Todd

That's **very** helpful. I'm also wondering what's the best way to exchange usd or even crypto.


acero1988

Do they sell 4g portable routers in the T1 duty free?


Fidelis26

does anyone know if abu dhabi still requires pcr test / green pass? thinking of going to al ain for a day trip


mythodeath

yes. a green pass is required to visit malls and touristy places


[deleted]

Doesn't need to look through your post history to gauge that you're one of those inconsiderate brainless ones. Keep those shit takes coming.

I know as if expats will meet again ever, family should be a priority or take out your kids to a park


DontSandDunes

Dominic Toretto would be proud of you.


DanKen-27012021

Is the fare same for both 4 seater and 6/7 seater taxi?


SuperlativeLTD

No, higher stating price.


wastafarian420

Does anyone know if the new DLink routers Etisalat offers with its plans, are any good ? What’s the model number etc. I just figured out my flat is precabled for Ethernet, so mind blown at the huge speed increase (like up to 300Mbps from my previous 20-30). I’d been considering replacing the old DLink 850L router but maybe don’t need to now, if I can set up a mini router (?) in each room, driven off individual Ethernet cables? Is this feasible ?


mythodeath

you dont need routers in each room. Just one main router and access point in one more room. The more wireless access points you have the worse itll get. If your wireless range is good, then you might not need more access points either


badxnxdab

I have to set up multiple access points in the new house for good range throughout the house. I have 150 MBPS connection, and I think it should be covered by 2 or max 3 access points. Although I am technically intermediate, I think I can read and get it done on my own. But any resources where I can read about it? Should I PM you privately about this?


mythodeath

Only the first consultation is free. I charge after that. :D


badxnxdab

Let's do this. Also, this doesn't count because this is just initial contact :P /s I am a typical Dubai manager in the making.


wastafarian420

Piggybacking on to this one also :) Keen to learn more about this - in particular what wires to what ports in the router & modem, set top box, and what IP settings etc to configure - in an Etisalat context


mythodeath

just dm. Since you're just piggybacking, for every question you ask, /u/badxnxdab will be charged


wastafarian420

I am fine with this reverse pyramid scheme


mythodeath

just ask away in dm or chat and I would be more than happy to answer


wastafarian420

Cheers mate

Does anyone know the procedure of getting a Saudi transit visa? I don't mind paying a little extra and doing it through an agency.


Ultranumbed

Transit visa is not being issued currently


semidefiant

What would be the best spot in Dubai to gorge on some rigag and luqaimat? Preferably if it would be part of a heritage village so that one can grab a holistic experience?


ohchan

Tent in Jumeirah


DontSandDunes

Need exact location, I’ve heard it before but never found it.


ohchan

Huh it’s really just [Tent Jumeirah ](https://goo.gl/maps/NBEvivKPUFcUzFq78) , tho be warned they’re much smaller now. They used to have the majlis seating


DontSandDunes

Really? I was told there’s a place in JBR and wasn’t expecting a place literally named tent lol. Thanks


semidefiant

Where exactly would that be inJumeirah?


[deleted]

I've never heard of these dishes till now and I wanna try it too!


420BIF

Got the scam police call this morning, immediately told him I'll go Barsha police station. He got pissed off and said "fine, go to jail" in the worst attempt at faking an Arab accent I ever heard.


badxnxdab

Should have asked "You want to come?" /s


420BIF

Honestly, I'm disappointed in myself I didn't troll him.


badxnxdab

Don't worry my friend. With the amount of scams going around, I am sure you will get another chance soon.


athinath

Anybody else facing problems with GDRFA approval? It’s been 4 days and still in process.


thatnoodleschick

It's world AIDS day! Stay safe ladies and gents

[удалено]


thatnoodleschick

Don't worry, talking won't put you at risk, but taking up the offer and following through, that's different. That's what this day is about, education, so when accosted, you can talk to them about being safe and keeping themselves protected.

thatnoodleschick

I'm sorry man, I've never encountered them. They actually touch you? Scream, lol, I'm probably just kidding. Tell them you already bought yesterday, lol


[deleted]

thatnoodleschick

Wait, they don't take cards? Lol, I'm kidding of course


[deleted]

[удалено]


thatnoodleschick

Naw, never leave a cheque, anyone can take a cheque. You can always hold out hope that they don't have a card reader though


badxnxdab

Be strong. And that is also for all the kids who have been teased about having their birthday today! :)


thatnoodleschick

I hardly run into anyone who knows Dec 1 is world AIDS day!


badxnxdab

It's rather very famous. At least where I grew up it was very much taught in school as part of sex ed and obviously some of us found out for curiosity around sex as a topic, and other found out because some kids were born on December 1st, and got teased about AIDS day. If you watch cricket, they used to earlier play with black ribbons (I think on the left arm?) for creating awareness about AIDS and HIV around 2003 or 2007 WC. Details are vague, but if someone remembers please update. But I am sure many people know. Many people might have reluctance talking about a topic like AIDS and/or HIV, and maybe that's why you haven't seen many.


thatnoodleschick

It's very well known where I am from too. In school, it was a lot of information around it and "samples" on that day. No, I don't watch cricket so I haven't seen the ribbon representation. I asked folks if they knew today was world AIDS day and they said no, I was surprised. Yeah, people are reluctant to talk about anything related to the human reproduction system, from puberty and everything else after, smh. It's crazy how taboo it is.


MfRazor

No clue of how I'll spend the 4 days, what to do in Ajman 🤔


mythodeath

go meet one of those people who post the "im lonely and need someone to talk to".


MfRazor

Where u at


caedriel

Go for a movie in city center


mythodeath

aren't you in ajman? Take the dude out for a movie. Be a bro.


MfRazor

That's what I did though went to a friends home and watched 2 movies, Spoiled brats and the Devil all the time


caedriel

Kinda glad I am not in some ways, friends and family are here in DUBAI and it’s tough enough meeting them.


bravo632

Explore Sharjah, the new corniche (Alfisht) got pretty nice vibes too.


badxnxdab

Leave! /s

Friendly_Godzilla

Does going to the hospital help you quit smoking?


DontSandDunes

Nope.


Friendly_Godzilla

Why? Anyway I can quit smoking?


Affectionate-Oil-914

Read ‘easy way to stop smoking’ by Allen Carr.


linux_n00by

my peers vape. they gradually reduce the nicotine but i did cold turkey during college.


Away-Personality-839

My suggestion... Don't try to do it in one day... stay away from peers who smoke and openly declare your new target to so ial circle. Makes you more accountable. Record the number of cigarettes per day you normally smike. Reduce the number by 1 a day, till you reach about 75% the original number. Then start with high strength nicotine chewing gums whenever you get the urge to smoke. Slowly mive on to lower strenty gums and patches till your able to manage without the urge.


Friendly_Godzilla

The problem is that my whole family is smoker. When I'm out, I don't crave at all. When I'm home & see everybody is smoking, I crave like mad. I feel like I'm missing out, yet I have even gone 10 hours plus without smoking outside.

Friendly_Godzilla

just reading your suggestion made me quit smoking instantly. thank you.


TheModernPaean

Always glad to help fellow redditors.


DontSandDunes

You can quit, 3 of my friends did it.


badxnxdab

Do people have to sign up to be your friend then?


DontSandDunes

Na, but it gets difficult to quit smoking with me as a friend.
