Default Living somewhere like Dubai

I'm just wondering what it's like living in a place like Dubai??

I know that there are a couple of people on here who live over there and I'm interested to know whether they still have the problems regarding crime etc that they have over here.

Saying as it has a totally different culture does Dubai still have people who steal cars, drunks on the street, homelessness, drunk and disorderly, child abuse etc???

I don't normally post much but I've had a bit dutch courage (a glass of wine) so I'm venturing out on what I normally want to ask but I dare not for fear of being shot down on here.

I'm genuinely interested in what there culture is like. Is there really a place where you don't come across such attrocities as Baby P??

http://britishexpats.com/forum/


Best expat forum on the net i've been on their when made the choice to move over to Spain, so many helpful peope who do live their and have real expereinces of the places people do ask about.

On a less serious note i think it is you who came to the South Yorkshire RSOC day a good few year back and did some sort of random trick on my pissed up state in the bar and did some sort of ramdom trick with me laying down ???? Remember ?

OMG yes, I remember. I tried it on Spadge if I remember correctly. It's a mint trick and it feels mint when your pissed.

It's not that I want to move over there, I'm just interested to find out if they would tolerate or allow something like Baby P happen over there. What would they do to someone who did that?? Would it be a public flogging?????????????

been there alot, have never come across theft crimes, still chop your hands of if you do but to be honest its gonna be a little hard living out there as the rules for women are a bit wiered.

when and where you can show skin and that sort of thing!

fooking brilliant country to visit tho, always different when you live there!

dont know about how many sickos you have out there compred to england! it is a sick country we live in tho... such a shame that there are so many fucked up creatures around!

HA HA You did me as well after being pushed along by Neil who was South Yorks chairman at time and me being only 19 at the time, new there was a reason not to buy a siera cossie then and just stay at home. Was a random experience and amusing so thanks doing that in front of everyone was amusing.

That link i gave best expat site on the web i learnt so much before going over to Spain as did Ballin of this site, proper top notch people on their. A lot try to give info on PF but do read and ask on that site.

I take your point but you have to admit that in those types of countries they have better dicipline, they just don't stand for stuff like we do. In some ways I wish we were more like them!!

Discipline would be great in this country if ya ask me, at the minute the justice system in thi country is a complete joke, If it was stricter maybe there would not be as many murderes happening by kids to kids, maybe the people that were responsible for that baby p would rot away in jail. Somehow cant see it happening tho. Look at that footballer that killed the 2 lads,disabled their dad, cos he was driving while pissed on his phone what he got for jail was a complete sham imo,if it had of been anyone normal off the street they wud of been giving 14 years for each of the offences not what he got, shud bring back corpral punishment in this country if ya ask me

I was their last month and there is almost a 0% crime rate as they will chop your hands off.

Great place and still up and coming, they reckon it will almost be done in 15 years, l will go back again at some atage for a holiday as it was very nice, exspensive for alcohol though, and remember the only pubs are typically in hotels, of which you need a reservation to go to.
