Last semester, my Middle East teacher, said that when he was there 6 months ago, trying to get anywhere was impossible. They did not have the streets named. All directions were based off of relative locations to monuments.
Crazy shit. I wonder if they improved?

Nice pics but you forgot to mention this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burj_Dubai.

Sure is a shame doing 4 years for a joint tho..

Haha... pretty impressive, lets just hope we arent so oil dependent in the future they are apparently planning so much for. Hopefully they put westerners that bring minuscule amounts of marijuana in equally luxurious quarters

I'd still rather spend a week in NYC than that Arabic shit hole. I've never heard of anyone getting 4 years for a joint in the city.

Yeah, they jailed some dude for having a speck of weed on the bottom of his shoe! How the fuck?!
It looks awesome, but that's one of the last places I'd like to go. Even just the off-chance of getting jailed in the United Arab Emerites, is not worth the trip!

When the Singapore Flyer makes its debut this month, it will be the world’s tallest, at 541 ft.—at least until late 2008, when the 607-ft.-high Great Dubai Wheel opens. In 2009, the 682-ft.-high Beijing Great Wheel will surpass both.

they're going to have to be a little more lax on drug laws or turn the other cheek for them to attract tourists, thats for sure.
