  1. Orientalism at it’s finest.

  2. Although that is the general trend, UAE is moving in a different direction. They are trying to establish themselves as a business / financial hub since their oil will run out (akin to Singapore which is the hub between US and Asia).

Don't be shy, you can comment too!

 
Some things to keep in mind: You can style comments using Textile. In particular, *text* will get turned into text and _text_ will get turned into text. You can post a link using the command "linktext":link, so something like "google":http://www.google.com will get turned in to google. I may erase off-topic comments, or edit poorly formatted comments; I do this very rarely.
