300QAR for food, the hr said ok,bec. thats the minimum standard here,.. thats my food allowance actually,..just do simple arithmetic? 300/30 then devide it again by three for breakfast, lunch and dinner? it's how much? 3.33QAR only, yeah right you can buy yourself not even a burger,... but seriously, if your really that thrift you'll survive and you got a loan already,.. so no problem on your part,.. just be carefull in spending your money, mind you i only got 20AED(DUBAI money) when i first arrive here, but am still alive, i guess?
