[QUOTE=Sporadic]Perfect solution!
I have been privy to many "one sided conversations" and they never cease to amaze me. Are people really that thick? Can they not catch the drift?

This is a rhetorical question, right? :)

[b]About the taxi issue:[/b] ...
I would not dispute almost ANY taxi horror story.[/QUOTE]
Weekdays at Marina, they simply do not bother coming, especially in the mornings. I need to turn the screws on my driver for sure :)

The only thing that keeps me from hating the taxis is seeing, and understanding, the truly shitty circumstances the drives work under.
In the last six months, there has been a marked upturn in questions from taxi drivers. The "where are you from?" is always followed by a "can I get a work visa for there?"

Yep, on the other hand it seems the next wave of workers may be coming from Central America... this is totally based on anecdotal evidence and it may turn to be total crap. However, if my sources are right, we may see an influx of Central American workers over the next few months to replace at least partially the current groups. It may be the case that DXB reputation has, finally, been burnt at least for low-skilled workers.
If this happens to be true, we may start seeing "chicas" soon. I may start some online course "Spanish for punters"... I need to think of the home exercises for he students :)
