heheheh but i beat the feeling is diff from being here.
the architecture are more beautiful and the culture is so diff compared to Singapore. It's becoming like China...no offense to the chinese...but Singapore has too many chinks...it's difficult for the non-chinks to get jobs.

I just want to apologize if I offend somebody with my comments.U asked the question and here is the answer.

Growing up in Pakistan "Dubai" always a big thing...U heared things like "U make big money there" and "he can buy anything he works in dubai" then I grew up and start to hear things "they dont respect Pakistanis and Indian" Then I move to canada..almost same things were said abt not respecting and stuff. I guess I have a good feeling about dubai never been in Dubai just the airport. So lets see how I feel when I get back.

You mean you're job hunting & desparate to move here & you've never even BEEN here before? Don't you think that's a bit nuts? What if you get your dream job but find you hate the place? Helluva long way to come unless you know it's what you want I would have thought.
