Default dream house in dreamy Dubai

hi everyone...

we're planning 2 move 2 Dubai really soon but we're drowned in research 2 make sure we can take care of the expenses, especially if we buy a house there... and pay for eternity!

i'm mainly relying on this mortgage calculator from (a real estate agent), but was wondering if anybody else knows of other cool - and accurate! - widgets out there... it doesn't hurt to make sure of stuff... can never b too carefuly...

left a link above to the one I'm using in case anyone else is in the same situation... i just can't help being overzealous...

hope u know a couple others!!!!

I think you're a little bit off your rocker dude Unless you're paying cash and love to spend your time in Malls - empty and getting emptier malls

Friday night the busiest night of the week. Just been to Lamcy Plaza, tons of parking, place half empty. That as always a busy mall.

Yes you're right - that's the in place for EVERYONE in Dubai on a Friday ......... I keep forgetting that drag of a place and it's only round the corner from me

Believe me - places are getting emptier; just because the MOE is full on a Friday doesn't mean there are millions of people still here. There's no where else to go in this heat and that seems to be the favourite because of the Ski slope and the cinemas I guess!! Shops are hardly ever full of clients - did I say full?? I mean a shop hardly has more than one .......... salesgirl waiting hopefully for someone to go in!!
