Remember one thing. The UAE dirham is pegged to the US$, so a strong US economy strengthens the dirham against other currencies, and basically you get more value for money. For example, a UK supplied bodykit or rims costing 7300aed a few months back will now cost around 6300aed. Just a few days back, they would have cost you under 6000aed. That's because of strength of the $ against the £.
Absolutely mate! Many goods and services that we consume here in Dubai are imported from outside the GCC region and as the $ (and so, the dirham) strengthens against major currencies like the pound and the Euro, things get cheaper. Since i started my job 2.5 months ago (i get paid in dirhams), my UK-equivelent wages have gone up by around 23%, purely because of the dollar!

Still think that US policy doesn't affect you ;)
Words well spoken.
All the religious connotations are for the American people to worry about, I personally don’t think that it’s gonna “kick off” in the States like the media is spouting just now, I mean come on, just because he’s the first coloured president of the USA do you really think this is going to cause a race riot???
Of course not!!!!!!

Sharaf DG at Times Square. That place is hooooge. Go to them to get some good advice, and then shop around for whatever they recommend. For that budget, you'll certainly get something, but it'd doubt it'll be an "established" brand, so you're choice is either a top-spec crap brand, or a mid-spec decent brand.
Good luck!

I’m thinking something that's kinda future proof….for at least 5-7 years give or take, so a top spec mid range, i.e. LG, ACER etc etc is my way of thinking.
Been down the DELL road and didn’t think I got value for money, I found that they are just generally a slower computer!!!! Component quality/ value has meant nothing to me in the past and I’ve had a few PC’s now.

this is as far as i understand (correct me if i am wrong) a public forum, where people share ideas on how to make the bmw lifestyle better and more pleasurable and enjoyable..where we benefit from others mistakes and learn from our own ,share experiences..all in a common goal to make everything and everyone better, not the opposite.. do i need to remind everyone of all the laughs we had and how many times we shared food and shisha together..how many times we all stayed up late to fix anothers friend (brother) issues?? This is what makes a community, us, people..a common understanding and fellowship..respect
