Re: Living in Al Ain

Oasis has a new doctor, Dr. Brent, who we really like. He is an American doctor with...

Re: Living in Al Ain

Okay, sounds like no one has responded so I'll throw in my two cents worth (or two fils worth). A friend of mine wth HCT Fujairah just moved into a new apartment there and had the same problem. He...

Re: Living in Al Ain

Does anyone know of a good photo development shop, maybe a Kodak store or something like that? I'm especially interested in something over by Abela's but anything of good quality will suffice.

Re: Living in Al Ain

www.witopia.com. Use the $59.99 option. Don't know what that is in the UK. It has options for sites in the USA, UK, and Hong Kong.

Re: Living in Al Ain

Mine is called Seven Star Step Up & Down Transformer ST-500. It is a 500 watt transformer. We duct taped over the 220V output to prevent accidents. If you go to Amazon and put the above...

Re: Living in Al Ain

Re: Living in Al Ain

Everything here is 220V so you'd need a bunch of converters or one huge one to service all of your electronic components that are 110V only. Even then it's risky if the converter fails or you forget...

Re: Living in Al Ain

We just moved to Al Ain from China and used MoveOne relocators. They were fantastic. If a China move was good, a move to Canada has got to be easier. Door to door service, will pack everything...

Re: Living in Al Ain

I'm worried about the China to Al Ain part rather than the other way around. :) But it sounds like a good organization. How much did they charge for your move to Thailand?
