Do not mention anything related to money during your first interview in other words do not mention about the bonus etc , just talk about your achievement.
what u were making , bonus pay etc etc in abudhabi is mute here as u might be making 1 million there but here what ever market payscale is that is what u will get hence study how much people make in yr field and bring money mater during salary negotiation which is usually in the second interview.
He asked some stupid quetions too.
Never respond a stupid question with a stupid answer. Take them seriously. The interviewer may be looking how you deal with a stupid question.
For your previous interviews, you can contact the interviewer and ask for few minutes to talk about your performance of the interview. Sometime, they will tell you what they like and dislike.

I would say don't bring up the bonus thing until specifically asked something related to that.
You can ask questions about the company & the job profile after the interview to show that you're interested in the profile & the company.
Do you get to the point where they ask for your references ? or haven't reached that state in those interviews ?
Thanks to all who responded to this post.
I will be careful hereafter in addressing the bonus issue.
The stupid question was a technical question about testing of a particular electrical equipment. I answered it correctly and he agreed to that. Apart from that stupid question he never asked any questions. lol.
I did not give any reference, neither it was asked during interview. May be it will be done during second interview.
What i fail to understand is why the interviewers dont ask many questions.
It should be their duty to ask right questions and get right answers to confirm that they choose a right candiadate and a better candidate.
I feel the interviewers are not capable enough to ask questions and they blindly follow the rule of "hire some one who is locally educated and experienced"

Morning rain,
As i said in my second post, the first interview was good, b'cos she asked me questions, though she was HR personnel. It went on for 90 minutes. I too was very happy with t he interiew b'cos there was somebody asking questions and i was enthusiastic to answer. She said she will check with the higher managers for face to face interview, and did not come back. Her managers would have told her "hire some one canadian educated and experienced"
The second interview, as i said the person is not knowledgeble enough and asked one stupid question but generally allowed me talk. I dont know how he can asses a candidate in this way.
The third one, HR was better she asked few questions, but the technical guy refrained from asking any questions. During the talks i asked the technical guy if he has any specific questions. He said he just writing whatever i told. !!
I think they go by " select some one who is locally educated and experienced"
And they may be interviewing people like me ( new ones ), jst to show to the management that they conducted several interviews and hiring a person who has local knowledge.
I would suggest you to call interviewer and ask for feedback ... after you receive rejection email.
Make it lil friendly conversation ...
And before starting Interview Q & A, I would suggest you to get into some sort comfort discussion which will calm your nerves. It may give you lil insight of the interviewer. You may hit some chord which is common to both of you and hey, you won't complain that he didn't ask you enough questions before hiring
