You've not met any Lebanese? Do you live and work in a locked box?

Lebanese women are so so.

Any idea on (realistic) current costs in Garhoud and Mirdiff for a 2-bedroom place? Living here would save on the commute.

thanks!
I assume BD was Bur Dubai!

Funnily enough I have got a Lebanese girl followed by a Tunisian girl coming to view our spare room this evening...but don't tell my Landlord.

I'd say unless you can share then it won't be much fun. You'll be broke the whole time. The people who all live on less than Dh10,000 all share - whole families in one room.
My W+E - apartment - is about AED 300
Internet - AED 189

We don't have "e-vision" or cable - my kids are fine
