WTH!?!?!?!
Come on man,
Why is the world going to beat a path to Duubai to spend way too much money to buy a condo on some assclowns dream of paradise?
Bunch of man made islands that appear from space to be trees or earth?
I like my airpark. I like Florida.
Fools.

Just have a squint at the planning that went into this one. Here’s the latest from Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum. “Our intervention in Dubai World was carefully planned and reflects its specific financial position,” declared the chairman of the grandly titled Supreme Fiscal Committee. “The government is spearheading the restructuring of this commercial operation in the full knowledge of how the markets would react.”
Sadly, the Sheikh did not spell out all the careful planning that went on. First, work out when the 10-day Eid religious festival falls this year. Then, just before you close the markets for the duration, slip out a request from a state-backed company reeling under $60bn (£36.4bn) of loans for a six-month debt standstill. Getting the whole farrago to coincide with America’s Thanksgiving holiday was, it must be said, genius.
At the same conference, Sheikh Mohammed declared: “I want to tell those people who nag about Dubai and Abu Dhabi to shut up.

something is rotten... We are being robbed and the money is all being sent overseas....
I just don’t get it....
It’s almost like we lost the a war and are paying reperations... but I don’t remember losing any war.
Our treasure is being looted right in front of our eyes in broad daylight, and no one is saying anything about it.
