Dubai Reports

[QUOTE=Piper1] I also saw the three Dongan midget twin sisters. Damn they looked good.[/QUOTE] I just knew there must be Dongan girls in Duabi, but the misrable sods on this forum never answer my questions :)

To make light of serious matters.
[QUOTE=11Bravo] Think they got a negative review in some US report - therefore, must be George Bush's fault. :).[/QUOTE]
Leaked US state department memo.

Dear Mo,

Reading the recent news reports I think there has been a misunderstanding, when Mr George told you “do something about the trafficking or we will bomb you back into the Stone Age” he meant to say “do something about the traffic or we will bomb you back into the Stone Age”. You know how he mixes his words up some times.

Ever yours,

Condie.

[QUOTE=Cons68]. Treated well and offer loyalty back. You just need to look at both Miss N and Miss A. [/QUOTE]Just had a chat with Miss A now beeing in the Philis, be careful that she will not get jealous with you when she understands your activity with Miss N. (my mouse is closed)

My sources say Golden Sands raided again on Sunday night. Some WGs also lifted from Burjuman Centre on Sunday while shopping.

LE action now seems concentrated to Bur Dubai.

Be careful out there.

Well, she got a full report of my last 22 months of activities from the girls in the bakery downstairs... They know that when I order, in addition to bread, croissants (very, very good... as good as I got them in France) I have guest(s) for the night. And of course bringing them to my flat they often have a glimpse of the girl(s).

Well, they gave her a full listing of my activities and then asked her if she was "the one"... I am sure they did not mean bad, but hey, they should stick to their own business (or if they are so interested maybe they should join when bringing the food up :) )

Also, even as she was laughing at the whole incident I am not sure Miss A was not a little bit bitter about it. Oh well, that is life. Since she left my work/pleasure rate has worsened badly.

But guys, keep in mind that Big brother (and worst, Big Sister - Ate) is watching you !!! Thew catch it seems to operate on ethnic lines... so Filipinas will only snitch you to to other Filipinas and Chinese to other Chinese but it sure crosses the WG/civilian divide. I can only hope that they do not come with a forum like this to share information on us!!!

Just a thought.
Out of curiosity, are they focused on Chinese/oriental looking girls and African?
The reason I ask is that if they stop a "normal" Western girl that may prove embarrassing and may explain why CIS seems to be less affected by this random effort as they harder to distinguish from European tourists/wifes/gf

I would suspect that the girls picked up while shopping had no valid ID. The LE would be quite discreet in these cases. According to a recent press report there are 200,000 PRC nationals living in Dubai, this includes many females who are not WG’s. Also the tourist trade from the PRC, Hong Kong and Taiwan is now a major earner. I know for a fact that some of the PRC tourists spend tens of thousands of dollars on a short visit here. And places like Bur Jurman is where they are going to be spending. So I would not accept that it would be more embarrassing to stop a white woman.

As for wives, a lot of the western guys I know here are married to, PI, Khazakh, PRC, Thai, Indonesian or Russians.

My suspicion is the current sweeps started as an attempt to bring down the AMPs, as indicated in the press report. This has spread other incall locations, do not underestimate the irritation felt by families at have a knocking shop next door, all it takes is a quick phone call to the Al Ameem anonymous snitch service. Now it’s in the news people may have been prompted into action. This has undoubtedly led to quite a bit of collateral damage. I am sure that girls who do not take guys back were busted if they were in same apartment block to those that do. The informants will have lumped them all together.

I don’t think CIS are immune; the focus is apparently looking the other way at the moment. I also suspect the Russian mafia is better organized and connected.

[QUOTE=Steamer33]... Some WGs also lifted from Burjuman Centre on Sunday while shopping.
[/QUOTE]Since shopping is still legal, surely they could only have been nabbed if their visas were not in order, or they propositioned a plain-clothes LE.

EDIT - I see BC already mentioned this in his post below. So of course, I agree with him. ;)

_______

As BC also says, many of us, including my colleagues and myself are married to wives from various 'suspect' nationalities, such as Chinese, Russian, Ukranian, Turkish, Iranian, Azeri, Philipina, African etc - all with professional careers, and all have been harrassed at some stage by LE and by desperate guys on the street, in malls, etc. I can tell you some funny and not so funny stories one day.

From Gulf News:

I'm thinking that the 1st day MIGHT be a religious holiday - bars closed.

Anyone confirm ?

OK, I get the point. I am not surprised about the harassment, in fact I would expect that happening more to "suspect"/"exotic" nationalities.
All I can say is that it seems that Marina is safe so far... but of course I am staying alone at this point. oh well.

[QUOTE=Barcrawler]I would suspect that the girls picked up while shopping had no valid ID.[/quote]Would agree. Or they were "scheduled" to make a visa run that night... I know, last year, a girl was picked up, deported while her visa still had a day on it...

Don't underestimate that ripple effect, just the "nudge" for neighbors to act. And also reasonable to believe provides [one nationality] with means to remove [another nationality] from "their" building, as [those] people are "lesser", or "tempting" to the man of the house...

[QUOTE=Steamer33]My GF just took a call saying that LE were sweeping through Golden Sands apartments tonight (Saturday 7pm). ...
Looks like my new housemates will be here for a few more days yet.[/QUOTE]Sms from a previous Miss Thursday, a Diera resident. NOW she's concerned about raids (last week she was very nonchalant about them). As I write this, she's packing her clothes, to arrive shortly for a [week | end of month] stay; I'm not clear. A number of girls in the apartment, so, as has been discussed, perhaps just too much "mass" for today's "gravity".

[QUOTE=11Bravo]As I write this, she's packing her clothes, to arrive shortly for a [week | end of month] stay; I'm not clear.[/QUOTE]I've had the same request and need to mull over what the deal would be.

Do we charge them rent?

Do we expect freebies for sheltering them?

Do you still need to pay but get a discount?

What is the risk to us getting the old heave ho?

What is the value of that risk?

Do they still go out and work?

A lot for a man to ponder!

Keep it Cocked,
