Cninese Drywall

Re: Cninese Drywall

Pack:

Have you been following the economic demise of Dubai? Incredible, first Japan collapsed due to over-building 12 years ago, we have collapsed due to over-building, and now Dubai. With Dubai it's understandable, apparently all they have is sun, sand, and oil, their oil is set to run out in 20 years so they were building a resort destination to keep their economy running for the foreseeable future, that makes since, with us over-building was a political maneuver by the Socialists in this country to buy votes to redistribute our wealth to the third world, that doesn't make sense.

Good video.

I saw all of those things while I was there.

Except the 7-star hotel....they didn't let riffraff like me near it.

I did visit a 5-star hotel, though.

And I did ski on the indoor ski slopes.

Dubai actually profits more from tourism than from oil.

Many people don't know that.

Incredible place.

I flew Emirates Airlines, which is owned by Sheikh "Mo".

Direct flight took about 15 hours from the US.

The "hookah" (or "shisha") was worth the trip.

Rode a camel, too.

I encourage everyone to visit Dubai, if possible.

Uncle Bob and I were planning to join you there if this country collapses, now it looks like we can get some good deals on real estate there to ride out the storm, of course lots of it rests on you keeping the money hidden and available when we need it, we don't have pensions you know.

ConArb,

Stay out of my basement.

I watched them building the sand islands on a National Geographic documentry. I'm still hoping they finish and I live long enough to see a tsunami take them out; like sand castles on the beach.

I hope someone has the foresight to set up video stations around the area.

Uncle Bob
