What I meant to say is, I wonder if two huge cities have ever joined to form a mega city.

I see what you are saying.

I do not think that there's any place in the US that has that type of "money" to achieve what those people over there are doing. Not even New York or L.A. Let's wait a few years and see what happens.:)
 
The middle east is developing a tourist mecca. They know the oil won't last forever, and it will run out this century. Or at the very least, people will start to go towards more environmentally friendly substitues.

Because they know they can't keep selling oil forever, they are building these amazing structures. In time, their source of income will turn from oil, to tourism.

Because without either of those, what have they got to offer? Sand? Dubai is looking after its long term interests.

It's not just tourism. There are many major businesses with plants or headquarters in the area.

i was in Dubai in 1998 and at that time i saw the development that place was having, amazing. By the pics now that is completely insane by now.

And they having plans to build a new huge airport.:wow:

I would like to return there
 
that where i want to retire too....any chance i can get a small pre-construction bungalo for under 250K? :wow:
 
I heard Dubai is a dream world right now! I know a few people from USA and Canada who moved there and they are so happy. I am considering visiting the area to see what the hype is about.
 
You have to admit that Dubai is seriously cool no matter what else is true about it. :mask:

Yeah, America has its problems, but you know what, so does every other nation in the world. Not only that, but they have the same problems that we do or much, much worse. :wow:

Quit your bitchin', vote, do what YOU can in your OWN corner of the country to make it better, or go somewhere else. :P

I predict that Dubai will be the target of terrorism by the Islamist nutcase freaks in the near future. It's just too good of a target. Too much money and people in a small area. They would not be able to resist it. :mask:
 
Oh, and something else.....

USA has too much Top 40, Rap in the charts:unsure:[/quote]


I agree. I don't like rap and hip-hop.
 
Surprising how Dubai has very good golf courses, in the middle of the freaking desert. But yes, it will turn from oil to tourism/business. The guy running the show and probably his two dads are Ivy educated dudes. Smart guys, not just because of the education but because the youngest guy is inherently smart.

I heard Kazakhstan is going under some massive development, too.
