With this pass...u are entitled to a free stay at the Burj Arab Hotel...just kidding!

Things are perking up in UAE, particularly in Dubai:

1. The Transportation Authority is going to build air con bus stops which is really a relief for many...it's part of the campaign to encourage people to use the public transport more often.

2. A piece of good news that brings smile to all expats here..
In the past,if your work permit is cancelled by termination or resignation..you will get a 6 mths employment and entry ban..totally. This is deemed rather unfair to employees. The latest revamped law which was announced yesterday lifted the entry ban. However the employment ban stays for 6 mths. I think it is fine as long as you are able to return immediately on visit visa..and do whatever..u know what i mean?I got a feeling the loophole is intentional...anyway, nobody is crying foul...habibi..this is Dubai for u.
