RE: January 2010
Nice post.

The musical, dancing fountains look like they're modelled on the famous ones in Las Vegas outside one of the massive hotels, where the strains of Frank Sinatra and other crooners provide a schmaltzy, but perfect accompaniment in the moonlight.

Never been to Dubai but it seems to be all artifice. A place built on cannibalised bits of other cultures. Kind of fascinating in its own way, but a bit like a Manchester City, where money is being used to try to build something rapidly that should be allowed to develop more slowly and organically.

The photo of the women in burkhas is hilarious:

Lady 1: "Here's me in front of the fountains in Dubai"

Lady 2: "No, you aren't in that photo"

Lady 1: "Oh yes I am.... aren't I? Oh wait...maybe I'm not..."
