 |
|
I'm moving to the UAE with a stop over in Hong Kong.
Is there anything that I should buy in either Korea or Hong Kong (price/avail) that will be more expensive/not available in the UAE?
(I haven't found anythig in Korea (aside from desktop computer parts) that is cheaper...) |

| alcohol? but seriously watch what you take! The Middle East is tricky about meds, booze, books, alot of things, UAE tends to be cooler than say...iran, but BE CAREFUL! |

| The UAE, like in Dubai for example, has become quite famous as a shopping hub, much like Hong Kong used to be but not so much anymore. A lot of Europeans go to Dubai to shop. I think anything you need will be there, with the exception of culture-specific items. |
