I really don't know. But considering the guy got 12 holes-in-one on his first round of golf in his life, architecture does not seem to be beyond his capacity.

You've got a point. I wish he would show us how a REAL championship golf course should be designed, I'm sure he could put guys like Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus to shame.

"couple of hundred US dollars a month" for a shift of "eight to 10 hours" a day, six days a week. "

Our future if the Globalist free traders have thier way. The few very rich the many many very poor is what they want.

Cool, the ragheads blow up our skyscrapers and we respond by building the lame Freedom Tower. Meanwhile they are busy creating a building with real balls. And this ignores the fact that skyscrapers make sense in Manhattan, which has the most expensive real estate in the world, but not in Dubai, petroleum-less desert.

Sounds like they're right on track for a Great Depression.

Good grief people! Dubai is actually trying to separate itself from the rest of the Middle East by building great public buildings, golf courses, ski resorts, etc., instead of palaces and madrases. Yet we complain!

I say: more power to them! The sooner more countries like Dubai start investing their oil profits in an intelligent way the better. Buildings like this help the West because they show the people in the Middle East that there is a better way, even in the Middle East.
