Five things to avoid in Abu Dhabi (UAE)

This might be useful to give some information about things to avoid during the stay in Abu Dhabi
1. Summar months from May to October, especially July-August: - Nothing can make you better if you must come out of the Air conditioning environment even for 5 minutes. Most of time you must come out if you don’t own a car and it felt like a hell for the punishment of my sins, you don’t believe me, you will feel it literally 

2. Buy Postpaid plan of the government company Etisalat, very poor network not only for data but for normal mobile calls and moreover you must pay one-month extra charges if you want to get out of the contract.


3. Buy anything online while fully paid e.g.from DG Sharaf: I had a bad experience from DG Sharaf digital store regarding the order home delivery, and I think it might be common for all the home delivery if you have already paid, may be except Amazone.ae (I found the same item on cheaper rate from there).

4. Taking public transport (Buses) between 7 AM to 8 AM and 5 Pm to 7 PM: not only there are crowded but the closed environment of the bus makes people fart smell unbearable (It was one of the worst experiences of my life, breathing is most smelly farts), Buses are overloaded at this time.


5. Try to avoid making any rental agreement if you are living Single. I lost 5000 DHM by a hotel flamingo apartment. Also, in the contract of one year, If you have to vacate before that, you must pay 2-month rental fine (even if you give notice period as per contract), This is the contract condition, Better live on sharing basis, like master bedroom available in flat or any room with attached bathroom etc. Rents are already higher than or equivalent to Netherlands and if you must pay 2-month additional rents, it might feel you very bad.

There might be more thigs to avoid in Abu Dhabi, that I might write later as my experience go rich but there are few good things about Abu Dhabi

1. Law and Order: Even you forget your mobile or you Bose earbuds at any shop, it would be casually placed asides, and you will get it back, even after 2 days without feeling your burdened by the shopkeeper’s lecture of how much you could have lost and how much good he is.
Also, any theft or burglary or any other public crimes are I guess very negligible here.
2. Buses go to the Airport so no need to higher taxi (although standing not allowed in the airport bus route so if its full, you must wait for another Bus (Check google for bus number and routes)

3. Food joints and good quality Tea available all around the downtown and in the suburbs (thanks to the overpopulation of Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi Migrant workers)

How to sale motorcycle in Malaysia

I have been thinking that I should write a blog regarding selling of motorcycle as I have written a blog how to buy motorcycle in Malaysia. Actually it's very simple process and because I didn't know the process, I was very concerned how is it going to be happen. First of all I contacted the dealer from where I had bought the motorcycle because he had told me that he will buy it back within 1 year at a good price. I bought this motorcycle at 7000 MYR and he said that they would buy it back at around 5000. But when I went back to the dealer, the person I spoke to was nowhere to be found and some Chinese origin lady was there in his place. They inspected my bike and other things, i.e.  my papers etc. My bike had run 11500 kms and it was 1 year and 3 month old. They offer me a price of 4000. Anyway, after one week, when I had finished all my works, I went back to them and lady told me they will give me only 3000. I was furious about how they can deny on their own words. I went to ...
