Cool...
I wonder when they'll bring their people out of the dark ages to properly share in these oil money trinkets and bling.
Oh well, as long as their airlines remain cheap, I'll continue to humour them.
Welcome to future-world.
Sometimes you're flush and sometimes you're bust, and when you're up, it's never as good as it seems, and when you're down, you never think you'll be up again. But life goes on.
The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It's the passion that she shows to the outside world.

Probably one of the most modern cities in the world!
Oil makes up 5% of Dubai's revenue, 50% comes from tourism and financial services and that doesn't include travel which makes up a further 12%.
We could learn a thing or 2 from those that live in the dark ages.
Yep, 10-15 years ago they were very backward, lots of deaths in construction and people treated badly. Nowadays it is very different. Sheik Mohammed is really moving things forward, a bit more cautiously since the 2009 crash but Dubai is booming compared to most other places in the world (its just not booming like Dubai used to ... unsustainably). Don't act drunk in public, insult anyone or have unpaid debts and you'll love life (IMO those things are big negatives in our society).
I still prefer living in Europe though...
Not sure I want to take a drone taxi though, or the hyperloop they are building. Someone else can be cannon fodder for now :-) But then being in the technology business I know better and avoid anything too 'new' - I avoided flying on the A380 and 787 until they were a year or two into service as well ;-)
Obviously I'm referring to their religious nonsense.
Silly me, I didn't realise their religion was based on oil, money, trinkets and bling
I don't know any any poor Emerati's...lI wonder when they'll bring their people out of the dark ages to properly share in these oil money trinkets and bling.
