    It is a great all round city. Everyone will find something interesting in Dubai no matter who you are? how old you are? what are you values/beliefs? I mean Dubai is like a mini world for real :)

    Nope... not the India laborers, there are plenty of them in India as well.

    Hmmm... well I fear those anti-social elements who have their headquarters there.

    The Palm Project is also quite great. Shame I don't have the money to live there. Did you guys know that it's a Dutch company that created those islands?

    That doesn't surprise me, the Dutch are experts at reclaiming land!!!

    Pretty amazing projects when you do that images search. Very spectacular.
