Interesting thread this. Shame to hear about small town Oman losing its atmosphere.

Here's another article about the money culture: http://www.vanityfair.com/culture/features/2011/04/dubai-201104


Quote:
Dubai is Las Vegas without the showgirls, the gambling, or Elvis. Dubai is a financial Disneyland without the fun. It�s a holiday resort with the worst climate in the world. It boils. It�s humid. And the constant wind is full of sand. The first thing you see when you arrive is the airport, with its echoing marble halls. It�s big enough to be the hub of a continent. Dubai suffers from gigantism�a national inferiority complex that has to make everything bigger and biggest. This includes their financial crisis.


Yes, the *beep*, infertile ass of a *beep* of Disney and Vegas. Gotta love Dubai- till you look too close. It is the Joan Collins of cities.
