Dubailand

We are in Dubai and it is crazy: a shoppers paradise, a building bonanza, a jumbo suburb on steriods, a hyper commodity world, a 5-star hotel explosion, a capitalist oasis in the desert, a sink for surplus petro-dollars, an architect's wet dream, a heaven on earth where lots of money seems to beget even more money. Incredible skyscrapers are going up everywhere and there are more malls than you can count. It makes you want to shop...or to go snowboarding in the indoor ski-resort in the Mall of the Emirates.

For background, read THIS.

Jerome forgot to mention that he really likes it all! We've been to Starbucks twice already today.
