“If I can’t pay it off, I was told I could end up in debtors’ prison.”

Obviously she hasn't fully internalized that "all cultures are equal" stuff.

An apartment for $300,000 with a 15-year mortgage? I'd have 20 prime mountain acres with a trout stream and a 3BR log chalet you wouldn't believe..............!

The US Taxpayer has poured $8 billion into this craphole via Citibank. I’m certain the unpaid US contractors will demand the Gov’t make them whole.

Dubai in the last 2 decades, is the perfect example of pomposity, decadence, excess and hubris.



I can't help but feel some schadenfreude...

Reminds me a little of Nicolas Cage’s excessive spending like there is no tomorrow.

Sounds like a place ripe for Muslim Radicals to move in. Ask all these infidels to return to Mecca and strap on the virgin belts.

So, it’s get out of Dubai quick or get thrown into debtor’s prison.

And the NY Times story was written partly by someone in Dubai, but they’re not naming him because they don’t want HIM thrown in jail.

Nice. And this is supposed to be one of the more civilized Muslim countries.

I dunno about you but since everybody wants us to close down Gitmo maybe this would be a great place to build a new Detainee Prison. LOL

And still, not even a story about the mass slavery going on in that country. Look up “Slavery Dubai” on Google.

I’m astounded that so many would go into debt without knowing the laws of the country. Crazy people!
