Just came back from Dubai this morning from an investment seminar ...wish I had some time to visit the airshow and look at the static displays. Dubai always makes me gasp in wonder ...taking a drive through the Sheikh Zayed road even makes New York appear thirdworld ....the place is an architectural wet dream (not to mention the very weird realization that one can ski at the Mall of the Emirates ....snow in the desert. Ha!).

Anyways, I wonder if the Pakistani pilots will get debriefed by their Chinese masters after the dact?

Wet dream or not, I cannot bring myself to admire a place where the poor are treated like vermin. The same poor who’ve built the place into what it is today.
