In another world...

I arrived in Dubai 5 days ago. To be honest, it's not what I expected it to be... IT'S EVEN FUCKING BETTER! The skyscrapers, the restaurants, the people, the malls, Burj al Arab and Burj Khalifa, the nightlife, my hotel, the metro, the burgers, the innovation, the pools, the airconditioned bus stops, the Iranian restaurants, the Hindu restaurants... Such a beautiful place. But, lemme tell you something, Dubai is a fast-evolving city, during the world economy crisis, which is also expanding. Dubai lives thanks to the many people that work in it, without them, the city would still be in the same condition as it was 30 years ago, a desert. All of that requires money, so the city is safe and comforting for visitors. The money is gained by tourism, but since less and less people have money to visit Dubai, smaller amounts of money will come in. So, where does Dubai stand now? Probably one step from it's biggest glory, but also 20-30 years from its downfall. Laters.
