I had some friends that went there, they had an awesome time. Although I heard you will only have a good time if you have some pretty deep pockets!

Did you read the article?  They dont have that money, all that shit was bought on credit.  Dubai embraced the real estate bubble hardcore and is now paying the price.

Haha this made me laugh... I find a United Nations of tank-tops and bulging biceps, dancing to Kylie, dropping ecstasy, and partying like it's Soho. "Dubai is the best place in the Muslim world for gays!" a 25-year old Emirati with spiked hair says, his arms wrapped around his 31-year old "husband". "We are alive. We can meet. That is more than most Arab gays."

yeah me too, gay capital of UAE! still it's a crime though :shrug:

one of the kids, age 13 said "It looks a bit like Las Vegas" refering to nightlife and entertainment

I didn't say anything because some other grammar mistake came up and I had to clarify it

but it's ironic, thinking about estate bubbles

ah I might do an economics 101 lesson with them next week

Did you read the article? They didn't pay the price, neighboring countries did and the companies that are there... Dubai is still soaking it all in
