And for further info on the madness that is this speck of a place, check Dubai is F-ing Nuts. The site has great illustrations and describes how Dubai currently employs 15-25% of the worlds tower cranes, has the only “7-star” hotel (whatever that means), is building a building 40% taller than the 101, will have the world’s largest theme park, is building the world’s first UNDERWATER hotel, and so on. Guess they’re getting ready for when the oil runs out…
Either that or they’re trying to make it run out faster…
Actually, I think I’d prefer an island on me own mansion.
