What do you think about shopping malls and shopping festivals in Dubai?

I am doing a project on shopping festivals in Dubai and I like to know what real people think about our shopping malls and shopping festival?, what else can be done to make them better?'what are the disadvantages an advantages of our big shopping malls and festivals? and also what are your favourite brands and favourite shopping malls?

What do you think about shopping malls and shopping festivals in Dubai?
I Feel That Dubai Now Has A Sufficent No:of Shooping Malls, But Majority Of Them Cater To The Deep Pockets Of The Nationals And A Handful Of Indiviuals. During The Festival Season No:Of Shopping Malls Come Up With Exciting Offers, Schemes %26amp; Their World Famous Discounts, Some Of Them Are Genuine, Some Are Just Publicity Stunts, I Have Seen A No:of Brands with good Offers Like JVC, Splash, Shoe Mart, among others...





The Best Place To Shop Would Be The Mall Of The Emirates, I Feel It Has Everything Under One Huge Roof..
Reply:Thats lovely time. I enjoy it since 2003 after relocation to UAE.


My favourite mall is is Mall of Emirates. City Centre is good as well.


During shopping festival I always go to Global Village as you can buy much staff with good price.


My favourite brands are- Zara, Cotton Life, Guess, Tommy Lee, Promode
Reply:I'm in the US but I hope to visit Dubai one day. I hear you have alot of great malls and hotels. I'd like to go to your festivals too.
Reply:I love Dubai, living in it gave me a new experience every single day, there is a lot to enjoy and a lot to see.





Great malls, lovely festival, they really work hard to make it work, I love Ibn Batuta mall, it is my favorite.
Reply:im from UAE local, a citizen , and what you mentioned brings more and more people to UAE , emigrants and visitors, god knows till when this crowd will remain , especially in dubai , they are facing a real problem .


but my guess for the future i think it will be better after the completion of the (metro) Subways , underground train, i believe that Dubai will enter a golden era by then ... whom knows??!!!

Shopping in Edinburgh?
I went to Scotland over the summer and I totally recommend Princess Street!





Princes Mall was amazing. =)


I didn't really get a chance to go to many of the individual shops or things like that, but the mall was good. I walked around a bit and saw a few boutiques, including a few shops in a secluded area or two... I don't remember the names, but here is a link that might help you!

Reply:Grassmarket and all the area up to the castle.
Reply:hey!

Reply:try the grassmarket which has a great vintage shop called armstrongs you can literally buy anything there its the best!


And check out this website before you go as it gives you the location of the store, its www.joey-d.co.uk!This guy is amazing he basically takes clothes apart and puts them back together, some of his designs are just amazing ive bought a few outfits from him!You wont find anything like his anywhere!


Also try the royal mile, although there are a lot of the usual stores along there its the side streets you want to look at!There is a store called scoots which is owned by 2 fashion students and there is also a really tatty looking shop that actually sells Louis Vuitton, Dior, Vivienne Westwood for really good prices!


Have a great time in Edinburgh and I hope this helps

Shopping to feel better??

I am just wondering how many people shop trying to make themselves feel better? I have Crohns, gerd, cts, arthritis, tendonitis, gastritis and i think that is it..lol and I find the worse i feel the more i want to shop and the bad thing is i know it will not make me feel better. When i was younger i would go out and have drink and smoke a cig to feel better but with crohns i cant drink and i quit smoking so shopping is all i have left. that and eating and that hurts most of the time. Just wondering how many are in the same boat as me..

Shopping to feel better??
sounds like shopping addiction problems to me. You feel excitement, it feels so good inside and it becomes a central dominating force where you continually look to shopping to guide your actions and guide your day-to-day world to the exclusion of other more healthy adaptive ways of coping with uncomfortable feelings or difficult life circumstances.





See more free information about shopping addiction at the link below
Reply:I'm really sorry to hear that you're not well. Shopping seems to be the quick fix for many people. The only problem with it is that the fix is short-lived! I love accessories so that's what I look for when I'm in a slump. Another remedy is shopping on e-Bay. Works for me! Please take care of yourself!
Reply:I SHOP TO MAKE ME FEEL BETTER ALL THE TIME!!!


but just go on a walk!!! it makes you fell WAY more better than shopping
Reply:most of the time its just being spoiled but if u realy do feel better, stick with it- it probably relaxes you
Reply:For Crohn's disease, you should add antibiotics to your current medications if you want to achieve a remission. Flagyl is not enough!





Rheumatic diseases are the result of a defective gene and collagen inflammation, often from a chronic infection. Collagen is present throughout the body, from the eyes, skin and joints to the hearth. Hence, the multiplicity of symptoms, depending on the location of the most affected internal organs or body parts.





I have had seronegative rheumatoid arthritis for 27 years. The telling signs of seronegative rheumatoid arthritis are the following:


- Joint pain in the feet (or cracking ankles) in the early 20's or late teens;


- Fatigue;


- Blood test showing a negative or low level of Rheumatoid factor;


- Joint deformities of the fingers, over time, a specific sign of rheumatoid arthritis;


- Consecutive X-Rays showing bone erosion, a consequence of rheumatoid arthritis;


- Generalized arthritis, involving the whole body;


- Elevated levels of C-Reactive protein and Sedimentation rate, as evidenced in blood tests.





NSAIDs like Voltaren, COX-2 inhibitors like Celebrex, acetaminophen like Tylenol, and codeine are all used to control inflammation and relieve the pain of arthritis.





Regular exercise like walking, biking and swimming is also helpful for most patients. Make sure that you are not overweight as carrying too much weight can only increase the pain of arthritis in the supporting joints of the hips, knees, ankles and feet.





For any form of arthritis, you should consult an Orthopaedist who will order blood tests, joint scans and X-Rays to better diagnose the type of arthritis from which you suffer.





The American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons (http://www.aaos.org) maintains a public online directory where you can find the address and phone number of orthopaedists who belong to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Orthopaedists are listed by geographic location and family name, inside the USA and in most countries.





The membership directory of the AAOS is located at:

Lyme disease could be a possibility. Ask your doctor to test you for the bacteria causing Lyme disease.





Are there any other cases of arthritis or rheumatic diseases among your relatives? Chronic forms of arthritis are usually prevalent in families where a defective gene is passed on by parents to their children.





There are a few hundred types of arthritis and rheumatic diseases. The good news is that science is progressing rapidly in its understanding of rheumatic diseases.





Antibiotics are now used to achieve full remissions for at least 40%, if not 65% of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. For more info, please join our group at:

Reply:Hello,


My sister is like you are. Not the health problems (which I feel bad for you) but the shopping!


She would have brand new things in her closet that still had the tags on.


At one time she was traveling all over America,Mexico and would spend, spend,spend.


She drinks a lot anymore and who knows what else. She has distanced herself from the family and I can no longer drive so I can not show up at her house like I used too.





Compulsiveness can be a problem when one over spends.,drinks to much alcohol or does anything else that is compulsive. But everyone has something!





Some people eat, some people criticizes others to much. While others get into religion, work, gamble or whatever.


I feel the only time such a thing gets dangerous is when it hurts. Such as not having money to pay the house payment.





There are many in the same boat. Though instead of being in yahoo answers they are at the mall :0)


I sure wish you well with your health!!
Reply:I have shopped to make me feel better. I think it's the idea of buying something new. After a while, when it's not new anymore, I'm back in the same boat.





With the stuff I have, my doctor said exercise is the best thing. I do yoga and it helps to stretch out my muscles. I also exercise on my treadmill and now I have a Schwinn airdyne bike that right now I am only doing a couple minutes at a time on. I didn't exercise for 2 weeks during the holidays, and boy did I feel it. When you are hurting, exercise is the best thing, even though you may not think so. I also have a mini massager that's like a Tens unit. Last night my upper back was hurting a lot, and I used it for a while watching tv. That helps too. I have one from when I was doing therapy, but the mini massager I like much better.





Hope this helps.

Shopping in Waikiki?

Where can you shop in Waikiki, Hawaii? Are there some decent shopping centres with brands such as Abercombie and Fitch or department stores like Macy's and Bloomingdales? Or is there an outlet shopping centre? Or is there a Forever 21 store there?

Shopping in Waikiki?
;) ...... have no fear...... you're in Paradise - in more ways than one!!!





http://www.driveguidemagazines.com/oahu_...


Check out this map and you'll notice on the bottom left..... an arrow to the Ala Moana Centre - HOME SWEET HOME for shopping freaks! You can walk, take the trolley car buses, taxes or maybe a shuttle - just ask your hotel. My wife and I stayed at the Hilton Hawaiian Village.... and walked a few times.





OK, where do I start.....





1. Ala Moana Centre is a MASSIVE shopping centre "Open Air" with all the BIG department stores and plenty of the ones you're looking for..... apparently it's "WORLD FAMOUS"..... here's a link


http://www.alamoanacenter.com/





2. A little further down that same Ala Moana Blvd.... past the MASSIVE Ala Moana Centre... you have Norstrom %26amp; the RACK.... if you like shoes... "designer shoes"..... you'll be in HEAVEN. It's called the Ward Shopping Centres





My wife bought 6 pairs and convinced me to buy two pairs as well... they have plenty of fashion as well... but it's all about the shoes! $150-300 shoes on SALE for $15-80 ------ JUST WARNING YOU - it's dangerous - you will spend more than you plan..... but it's worth it.





3. International Marketplace is worth the walk and is an experience in itself.... it's on the Waikiki strip and is all about gifts and jewelery and plenty of other stuff.





4. There is a COSTCO too.... if you need that sort of stuff. It's closer to downtown Honolulu/Waikiki.





Oh, and the beaches are good too..... if you want to go to the beaches out on the South Eastern tip.... they are gorgeous! Link for your reference http://www.driveguidemagazines.com/oahu_...


That's where the locals go.... it's less touristy and much more beautiful!





ENJOY, HAWAII is very relaxing and has a tropical fragrance that you'll not tire of. But your pocket book will eventually empty. ;)
Reply:sweety i don't know where to shop in waikiki, but if i was there shopping would be the last thing i'd be doing. i'd be on the beach getting some sun and having a good time rather than being in a stuffy mall.. that i could do anytime. i'll go there and you go here, its 12 degrees in nyc.. wanna switch????
Reply:If you want all those department staores you should shop at Ala Moana shopping center. It is right before you get to Waikiki on your left hand side. You can't miss it, it is huge. you want touristy stuff shop at Hilo Hatties that is also at Ala Moana, or in Waikiki at the international market place, right across from the Moana Hotel on Kalakaua ave.There is an outlet place over in Waikele that is on the west end of the island. They have trollies that can take you there is you do not want to drive, or take the bus.
Reply:Visit DFS Waikiki, it got wide variety of name brand merchandises. http://www.dfsgalleria.com/Galleria/Engl...
Reply:You should go to the Ala Moana shopping center, they have some really good stuff on the top floors, and it's all open-air, it's really cool, and it has views of Waikiki, so it's not far away.





Also just on the street they have a couple good boutiques, such as cartier, etc.





They have outlets, the Waikele premium outlets.





They have also just a regular mall (this was my favorite there, don't ask me why), Pearlridge Center, it's just like a regular mall.
Reply:Everything you need to know is right here:





http://www.sandwichislands.com/Oshop.htm
Reply:yes there are plenty of places like that. there is a road that runs parallel to waikiki beach and along that road there is all kinds of shopping places. they have macys, gucci, harley davidson, stupid people factory, coach, and even the international market place. its alot of fun just to walk along that road and see what all they do have. Waikiki has plenty of other shopping too! you just have to ask people there and the locals are all pretty nice and are willing to help you find places.
Reply:Yes, there are quite a few malls and stores. The majority of these stores and malls are along the Nimitz, the main drag that runs through Waikiki. Nimitz becomes Ala Moana. The mall named this is quite big. Hawaii does have alot more than shopping to offer and the little ABC stores are great for tourists. Make sure to check out Round Top, Diamond Head, and Temple of the Valleys.


SHOPPING?? help?

i need help..


i am a 15 year old girl, and i rly need to go shopping!! my parents dont understand that the body of a girl my age changes.


when i ask my parents to go shopping, my dad says go with ur mom. and my mom never has time, coz she is rly busy.


i dont mind going shopping with my friend, but the prob is, i dont know how much money i will b needing and i cant ask for a very high amount!! in this country i live in every thing is expensive, and my dad thinks i spend a bit too much, coz my allawence is rly high and i have alot of demands!!! what should i do, how can i tell my dad i need clothes!!! i have been wearing the same thing over and over i cant stand wearing it again!!!

SHOPPING?? help?
Tell you need new clothes and ask if there are some extra chores you could do around the house. And just keep saving. Or just drag them along. Or just keep begging. Try getting down on your knees and begging. And get spell check. It makes you what we call on neopets a n00B.
Reply:You can...Be creative.


=)


You can do fun things to jeans, like bleach them.


[Watch out, you'll never be able to turn them back to blue again.]


You can draw on Converse, make them look good.


You can color converse.


You can buy white t-shirts, and you can dye it.


You can buy really [cheap] baggy pants, [cotton] and buy fabric paint, and design those.


If you seriously need to buy clothes.


You can go somewhere cheaper. [Kohl's?]


You can buy t-shirts, and not get jeans.


(After all, they all do look the same!)


=)


Hope I helped.
Reply:Tell them the truth about your body changing. Also tell them that it is extremely difficult to somehow "fit in" (just to decorate your pleas) among other students with the clothes you have now. They'll probably give you "you're wonderful the way you are, or don't be afraid to be different" but calmly tell them times have changed and it would make things so much easier. Don't get anything to racy or else they'll get pissed off. And if you want trendy but pretty clothes go to Forever 21. They have good clothes that aren't too expensive. Or Rave, but watch for quality here, their stuff breaks. Hope this helps!
Reply:Go through fashion magazines, look online and get a feel for what items you might need and the cost. Take that to your parents and suggest a dollar amount. You don't have to have the most expensive or everything. They will realize you are making an honest effort at attaining those articles of clothing you need. (I have two girls and understand your dilemma). Good luck. sweetheart.
Reply:The best thing would be to sit him down and explain the whole ordeal to him. Tell him the truth. Tell him exactly the reasons you need some new clothes. Tell him that your body is changing and you really dont know of any other way to say it but you need a few new things.
Reply:You should get a job,and earn the money.You can't ask your parents for everything.That is just the way life is..
Reply:well u shuld tel ur dad 2 go shping with u instead(force him) or if that dosn't wrk saved a little of ur allowance everyday and wen the time is rite u thoe money 2 buy urself a pair of clothes
Reply:just sit down with him and tell him everything you just told everyone on here..once you explain and tell him you arent just trying to be cool, but you actually need clothes....he might finally get the picture!
Reply:borrow money from her purse
Reply:sorry, i don't know what i can do to help you . I have a similar problem, and i just have to learn to live with the circumstances .
Reply:I suggest going to Abercrombie.You dont have to buy all the expensive stuff, there is a $10,$15 table. My mom wont let me buy expensive things, so I always head over there.But once and a while if I REALLY love something, then maybe just maybe my mom lets me get it......and Abercrombie is in style....lol :o)


Hope that helped. Good Luck!


Shopping (off the beaten track) sxm?

I'm wondering what shopping is available in sxm. Not looking for tourist shops (live in the vi, been there, done that). I've seen an antiques shop in simpons bay, anyhting else like that, or department stores, etc? Or fabric stores? Art supplies? All the websites I've seen are electronics and jewelry..

Shopping (off the beaten track) sxm?
Check out Rimi's for resort wear outlet on Pondfill Road in Philipsburgh. She may have some fabrics


Some art Galleries and studios on the dutch side St Maarten:


Axum Cafe Front Street 7-L


Greenwith Galleries Front Street 33


Ikemba Gallery Front Street 125





French side:


Les Exotiques Art Ceramic Oyster Pond


The Perfect Ti Pot Grand Case


Gingerbread Gallery Marigot


You really need to go downtown to Philipsburg or Marigot and walk around and you will find many unique type stores. There is a flee type market in Marigot every Wednesday and Saturday.


good luck

Reply:OK for art supplies go to Van Dorp Edine in Simpson Bay it is located close to the Shell gas station. and for fabric try Idris Fashions on Cannigieter Street it is just before you reach the Chippie Cafe or you can also go on the Bush Road at the Upholstery store Pete's Upholstery .





Also: Danielle B Diffusion in Bellevue, Marigot


Minguet Art Gallery Rambuad, it is on your way to Grande Case via Marigot
