Finding an apartment here is a headache thing :<. Out from Dubai only for 9mths but the rental already shot up so high! Really feel pengsan while they mentioned about the price.....Dear friends who is coming to Dubai, housing is the most important issue to consider & discuss, ya~

tiiin · 17-01-2008, 06:59 AM

totally agree with you. my 1 bedroom aprtment cost me 8000/mth.. almost pengsan but no choice that's the price here in dubai..

anybody know if there's any malaysian restaurant in dubai ? i know there's 1 singapore deli but i'm looking for something like our malay nasi campur.. is there any kind of that rest. here ?

yapijout · 17-01-2008, 09:10 AM

but it lucki that the "Government" hear what the residents said... rent cap this yr is keep in 5%... there is a new guideline publishing soon...

hi tiin, nasi campur maybe u can try out the "flaming wok" from deira city center food court. Not malaysian food but more to indonesian. Not bad tho...

btw, i'm malaysian chinese.. been here for the past 1yr4mths.

tiiin · 17-01-2008, 10:01 AM

hi,i'm malaysian chinese from kl.my husband might be getting a job in dubai.(may b 3-4months later)i went into some forum and webs to get some tips of life in dubai,but most of the responses are base on US and Europe standard.
can anyone brief me something like,eating out,clothing,schooling,prices of foodstuff(i know is expensive,it is something like city super in sri hartamas?),taxi,books,(for my 5year old daughter)etc.
thanks for the help.

tiiin · 29-02-2008, 12:04 PM

hi mmcc,

dubai is almost similar like KL eventhough it's arab country but it's quite liberal here. we can wear our KL clothes here except for few places where there's no revealing cloth alllowed (whc is very few anyway). i do not hv any kids so not able to advise on children education. but what i heard it's very expensive.

as for basic necessity, certain things are very expensive but certain things are quite cheap here. but since malaysian currency is getting stronger, if we earn in ringgit then everythings seems rather cheap

mmcc · 03-03-2008, 06:26 AM

hi tiiin,
glad to hear from you.thanks for the info.anythings else you can brief me about dubai?so far how many months you"ve been in this city?do you like it? will the custom check if i bring
magazine ,vcd and story books into dubai?
take care and hope to hear from you soon.

tiiin · 05-03-2008, 04:08 AM

i've been in dubai since november. just back from KL ths week. do i like it ?? certain things yes but i surely do miss KL. it's a very safe city and if u r into shopping, the services are excellent. and 1 thing that i really like, there's a home delivery for everything including groceries. so for a lazy bum like me, this is superb. so far i never kena custom check (anyway i only been in and out of dubai for 5 x). this time balik, i did bring few pirated dvds/cds but of course i put it in my check-in luggage bag. it's good if u bring books and mag as novels are extremly expensive here. like in MPH, the price is RM38 and in dubai the price is Dhs 55.-70 as for mag, if local mag(in english) it's quite cheap, but if its int mag like vogue, elle it's almost double the price in Msia.

yapijout · 14-03-2008, 08:48 AM

books are much much more cheaper in msia compare to uae.
