      @MCMB0627 Місяць тому +5

      More like the Bronx, Brooklyn and then Queens. Queens is pretty decent and surpasses both the Bronx and Brooklyn in quality of life. However, Dumbo in Brooklyn is like the new Manhattan.
      Williamsburg and Park Slope is pretty expensive as well so Brooklyn is taking the lead. Gentrified AF!

    I was teaching in Tajikistan and needed sinus surgery and so ended up in Dubai. It was not a destination spot for me, I've always considered it "the mecca of materialism". One of the first things I noticed was that everyone in the service sector was from Nepal, the Phillipines, India, etc. locals were few and far between. I wish I had done more research and known about Deira--it seems culturally more interesting!

    You talked about the lady skilled in sewing, that she came to Dubai into a building with sex workers and she does not know anyone, her consulate and embassy is there to take care of her.
    Just some advice before coming to Dubai contact your consulate or embassy ask them for a mobile number of an embassy worker in case of an emergency, never go inside a residence upon your first arrival. Check into a low cost hotel and do your homework ask to first see the business in operation, ìf they claim to have a tailor shop first go to the tailor shop ask the worker there to contact the owner to confirm you will work there.
    You couldn't find a taxi because buses are cheap and available. You know that standing could be misinterpreted that you are a prostitute so walk around till your taxi arrives.
    Stray cats near the entrance of restaurant means that restaurant is feeding them Customer left over.

    Bitcoin is on its way to breaking records, getting closer to hitting new high prices, showing that it's gaining more value and could go even higher than we've seen before. This could mean great things for people looking to invest, suggesting now might be a good time to get involved before it jumps even higher. It's an exciting moment that could change the game in general...managed to grow a nest egg of around 2.1Blitcoin to a decent 11.4Biitcoin. At the heart of this evolution is Samantha Jack , whose deep understanding of both cryptocurrency and traditional trading has been instrumental. Her holistic approach to investment and commitment to staying abreast of market trends make her an invaluable ally in navigating this new era in cryptocurrency investment

    That part of Dubai isn't for us or ex-pats :) not talking about the red light area but old Dubai in general, it's pretty old they haven't done much work on their infrastructure since then, they rapidly changed other infrastructure in other areas in old Dubai or new Dubai hence the rent is cheaper there more or less things aren't flashy or expensive there :) this country is lovely if you look into other aspects of it. And red light area or workers we don't talk much about it glad you showed but in Dubai we don't care.

    There's someone impersonating you on tik tok. They sent me a DM. They have your videos on their page. Luckily I was suspicious
