^find another hotel that supports visa sis or lets wait kung sang agency kumuha yung isang sis natin dito.. i believe she's in DXB na or getting there

[Girltalker2]

Ok thanks sis. The hotel kasi is booked by the company, so cannot change na.

[glacy_rein]

We were issued almost 2 months visa validity. I'm worried sick if ours are legit. We only applied online, via an agent who offers daytours and visa assists. How will I know if ours are really authentic? Lapit na trip namin, Jan. 1 na

sis eto oh si mrs. sweet.

try to message her.. nasa dubai na nga sya. kelan ba trip niyo?

[aranses]

nasa dubai kami ngayon. travel agency naglakad ng visa namin kakilala ng friend ko taga-dubai kaya di kami hiningan ng deposit.

[glacy_rein]

^how's dubai sis? sarap magshopping? ganda sa miracle garden!

[mama squeak!]

Dubai ladies, would anybody know if kasama ang mga Apple products sa sale ngayon? Magpapabili kasi ako kay hubby ng iPad mini with retina display since he'll be flying there again tomorrow.

^ parang hindi ata, or kung kasali man konti lang siguro ang bawas. pero, kung hindi sya kasali sa sale, malamang may mga freebies syang kasama Sorry, di ako nakatulong.

[aranses]

@glacy_rein - grabe dami tao lalo na nun new year! sa sale naman next week pa daw sila mag-70% off. ok ang dubai, shopping haven! 

[glacy_rein]

^dyan kayo nag-spend ng new year sis? ang ganda daw ng fireworks sa The Palm! Pumasok nga daw sa Guiness eh!

ah 70% off next week? edi dapat mga mid-end of January ang visit.. hmm.. sana maayos ko ang sched namen nagpaplano kasi na sa Australia mag-new year next year pero gusto ko balikan ang sale ng Dubai!

[mama squeak!]

@simplykristine08, thanks for the advice, sis! At least hindi mag-expect si hubby ng sale. Pero malaki rin ang difference when you buy there compared to here almost 4K din!

 

[simplykristine08]

^ sis, parang may konting discount din siguro, pero expect natin na maliit lang. usually bumabawi sila sa freebies.

a friend of mine bought a Samsung smart led tv 40 inches. 1999 aed pero bibigyan ka ng 300 aed voucher na you can use din agad. so halos 1699 nalang. ang murrrraaa!

[mrs. sweet]

Yes, I just got back from Dubai this morning. I love the weather, malamig lamig! Kapagod lang talaga ang long flight.

As to the sale, mejo mahal pa din sya compared dito. Although, d ko naman nahalughog ang buong Dubai, dun lang sa mga napuntahan namin.

I applied our visa online lang, na-search ko lang yung site nila. Then got some daytours na din sa kanila. Payments were made nung nandun na kami sa tour na inavail ko. Sinama na yung bill for our visa applications.

[glacy_rein]

^how was the experience sis? nag-atlantis kayo right?

[mrs. sweet]

Yes, we stayed 1 night sa Atlantis. Bitin kami sa waterpark, kasi halos half day lang kami dun. Ang aga magsara, 5:30pm closed na lahat pati beach. Yung hotel pool na lang ang open till 8pm. Sa mahal ng hotel, wala man lang free wifi. Buti pa sa downtown hotels, may free wifi. Pati sa Dubai Mall meron din.

[glacy_rein]

^really walang wifi? haha! grabe naman sis kahit DCC may wifi! lol

where else did you go? enjoy naman ang kids? buti hindi sinipon sa lamig ang kids??

[mrs. sweet]

may bayad ang wifi, $99 for 1 day.

The kids enjoyed Atlantis, bitin na bitin sa Aquaventure. Muntik na kami di tumuloy ng Ski Dubai para bumalik sa waterpark the following day hehe

Apple never goes on sale in Dubai... It's cheaper to buy Apple products in Singapore

[mama squeak!]

^Thanks, sis! Habol ko na lang if ever freebies (sana meron) kung walang discount. Comparing the variant that I want a difference lang naman of SGD10 (without GST) ang price sa Dubai so negligible na rin.

@simplykristine08, oo nga sis grabe ang mura ng electronics nila pag nagsale. Kwento nga ni hubby hoarding yung ibang crew   

[GirlCrush]

^If your husband has a flight to SIN next week friday, may sale ang Apple for CNY. Less $100 ang laptops, $50 for the tablets... And of course plus sandamakmak na freebies

thanks for the info sis.

hindi na kayo hiningan ng deposit?  kasi the travel agency we are in contact with is asking for 5000 dirhams for the security deposit. we are just thinking paano sya irefund if they dont accept credit cards?  we need to wire the money.
