These days, I go shopping in the web for anything - I mean - ANYTHING! Even when I need a piece of information like ‘where to find free giveaways and product samples‘ or children’s educational toys, fence installation, reviews of 3G cell phones…etc, I head to the web!

What would you choose for a 10th year anniversary gift, if presented with an option between a luxury cruise or a designer watch of any watch brand? A close girl friend sought me for my opinion and for a moment, I found it hard to present her with an answer. Needless to say, I could [...]

I could still remember my first luggage travel brand was a Delsey, bought in the early 90s. That was also my first international trip and I was traveling to Hong Kong with my boss. It was quite an experience, those days.

A few of my business acquaintances are talking about job opportunities in the City of Gold. In case you don’t know which city I’m referring to, it’s none other than Dubai, the jewel of the Middle East.
