Billyazprospector Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 A little off topic but I got this email from a friends that said Oil Money The city I never heard of called Dubai. They are building a huge city with the money and is said to control over 15-25% of the world cranes right now for large buildings! It also stated they are making large man made islands like palm trees and island resembling the map of the world you have to Use GOOGLE Earth this to believe it! They are using large dredgers to move the sand up. Type in Dubai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paseclipse Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 People from cities like Dubai wipe their butts with $10,000 dollar bills (if there is such a thing). I live in Los Angeles and you should see how filthy rich some of these people are that come over from there. Let's put it this way, a brand new Ferrari is chump change to them! I believe Dubai is being built up for tourism because the government there is trying to get away from heavily relying on their oil production as an economic stablizer. Gotta pay the bills somehow right? :shrug: Personally I think it's amazing to think that humans are capable of such a great engineering feats. That city is an engineering marval! My god, they've built a ski lodge out in the middle of the desert! Good for Dubai! I hope their economic plans work out for them. :whoopie: It makes me happy to know at least one place in the middle east is starting to prosper.
