Dubai or is it the aplocalypse?!!

Crikey 2 nights in Dubai over my trip were certainly enough. we were entertained by the lovely Ramin there who showed us round, and hosted with a generosity of spirit that can be relied upon.
It is a city that was built for the car not the community.
The false economy and materialistic and impersonal society leans heavily on throngs of people from Sri lanka, Pakistan and Southern India who work really hard doing menial tasks, whist the bankers lord it up with over indulgence on food, drink, consumerism and cleanliness.
Everyone we spoke to said they hated Dubai and next year they were going home, watch and see how Dubai crashes when this mass migration takes place!!
Man-made environment that feels like a film set, I felt surprised to see birds flying around, when they don't conform to the plastic feeling environment!!
" I saw a $12 million diamond table football- only in Dubai!!"- Ramin
