I like reading your posts and I hope that I will be able to cooperate with you as much as you can.

Sidrerias por aqui? ni por asomo! Este es un pais musulman. solo hay un bar pseudo espanol que tiene como plato un chorizo plastificado al sucedaneo de Sidra. Si vienes por aqui avisame y quedaremos para hacer patria.
Saludos
Sidrerias? You must be joking mate This is an islamic country. There is only a short of Spanish restaurant where they sell a sort of plastic chorizo with sidra subsitute. If you are coming over just let me know and I will meet you up one day

welcome/bienvenidos
Hi granda, welcome to the forum. I can't imagine how isolated you must feel over there in Dubai. But, at least here at the forum you can almost feel at home.
A word to Is.... Dude, I think you're gonna have to pack your own sidra for that trip! Pack a little extra for granda, too.

Hola granda, bienvenido al foro. No me puedo imaginar lo islado que te debes sentir en Dubai. Pero, por lo menos aqui en el foro te puedes sentir casi en casa.
Un comentario a Is..... Oye muchacho, me parece que vas a tener que llevar tu proprio sidra, y tambien un poco mas para granda.

Bienvenido Granda! Qué suerte tuviste que te tocaran los Emiratos, anda, que te podría haber tocado uno de esos reinos fanatizados - y no voy a decir nombres - donde en los hoteles te dan el Time Magazine con las imágenes de mujeres censuradas con rotulador o arrancadas páginas enteras.
Aprovecha la experiencia como algo positivo, ya tendrás tiempo de volver a la lluvia.

Welcome Granda! Aren't you the lucky one, though, getting sent to the Emirates, it could have been one of those fanatisized kingdoms in the area - I won't name any names - where the hotels will have Time magazine available, but with the images of women censored with felt-tip pens or full pages torn out altogether.
Just enjoyyourself and take advantage of the experience as something positive, don't rush back to the rain.

Thanx for the post.
who told you that this doesn't happen here? it is true that it is the most relaxed country of the Area but here we got get the images of Time censored.
In fact I cant access to the site www.asturiasnatural.com as ...
QUOTED
We apologize the site you are attempting to visit has been blocked due to its content being inconsistent with the religious, cultural, political and moral values of the United Arab Emirates.
??????
I think that everything comes from Pelayo y Covadonga

Quien te dijo que aqui no lleva el Times censurado? Es verdad que este uno de los paises mas relajados de la zona..
Pero de hecho no puedo acceder a la pagina www.asturiasnatural.com
por que es incosistente con los valores morales, religiosos, politicos y culturales de la UAE ??
Creo que el origen esta en Pelayo y Covadonga

Vamos a tener que resucitar a Pelayo! A mí me habían dicho que los Emiratos y Qatar eran los más "tolerantes", ya veo que todo es relativo. Que tengan bloqueado el acceso a Asturias Natural por los motivos que citan muestra lo paranoicos que están. Pronto nos bloquearán a nosotros. En fin...allá ellos.

We're gonna have to revive king Pelayo! I was told that the UAE and Qatar were the most "tolerant" countries, but that is obviously a relative perception. The fact that they have blocked the internet access to Asturias Natural for the reasons listed shows how paranoid they are. Soon they'll block us too. Oh well...they're none of our business.

Nomenon, Daysi, diba de cuoña eso de la sidreria en Dubai! Si nun sou pa mercar sidra asturiana ou vasca eiqui en Washington, nos Emiratos inda menos.
It's still nice to dream with a refreshing culin at the edge of the desert. Btw, whenever I've managed to smuggle cider into the country and pour it at friends' barbecues on 16th St, passersby stop dead in their tracks. They think it's a new kind of drink acrobatic by the college crowd...
Enfin, Granda, Time Magazine tampouco paga muitu la pena l.leelo, asina que nun te pierdes nada. Maybe you can take up falconeering, los ferres que tan entrenaos pa garrar outros paxaros?
