Truth Speak

If u haven't read it theres some interesting stuff

heres a taster on what they published about Dubai

To add balance, the reasons they leave is the stifling heat of summer when you can't survive without air-conditioning, the crazy roads, and an overdose of hedonism.


The author knows his stuff!!!

I remember speaking to someone one night who said that Dubai was like one big film set... looks realistic and convincing........until you scratch at the surface then it all falls apart.

My first impression was that it's like Disneyland for grown-ups (a comment which appropriate on more than one level as well )

You can OD on this place though.
It is a playground for the rich and shameless.

Yes - my comment was about superficiality, outward appearance and the sinister evil underbelly which sucks you under.

Hmmm...where's the evil laughter smilie?

Oh - and also a comment on workers rights

very true....

the fakeness seems to be supported by the entire cast (or population) though... no one actually stands up and tries to real-ify things, if there is such a word, which there isnt, but I guess its okay to use it in Dubai.
