Saving Money in the UAE

The UAE has a very high population of expatriates, most of who left their countries to benefit from the financial prosperity of the Gulf region. Expats are a key support for the advancement of the UAE, which in return -thanks to its leaders- proved to be hospitable & generous.

But in order for these images to reach your brain, you need to have eyes. Eyes are the tools through which  images around you are collected. Now, think of this: Is the world around you “real”?

Using the same phone he succeeded to contact the customer support. The lady from the customer support apologized to him. She tried in vain to help, then she asked for his address. Now here is the shocking part. Few days later, my friend went out to check his mail & surprisingly he found a check from the telephone operator. Guess what? It was a 1 dollar check issued in his name! - READ MORE ->
