I'm so glad to see my prejudices confirmed in relation to my views on that God awful city Dubai read here . A Vanity Fair journalist has apparently written a beautiful polemic against the city of Dubai, and with typical authoritarianism, the authorities have removed the article in the local UAE edition. And with the typical obfuscation that you'd expect from the shifty sheiks that run the country, they're all pleading ignorance.
There's a million things wrong with Dubai, but I think the author sums it up best with this;
"Dubai has been built very fast. The plan was money. The architect was money. The designer was money.... And if you ever wondered what money would look like if it were left to its own devices, it's Dubai".
