Almost all flights leaving Asia
heading west, must go through Dubai. The time of arrival is at some ridiculous
hour and the layover is hours long, usually in the double digits. This was the
main reason we decided to hang around for a couple of days and see Dubai, the
commercial capital and Abu Dhabi, the political capital.
The UAE is an extremely wealthy
country, so everything is extremely expensive and extremely clean - there isn't
litter anywhere. We were told by a guide that the people of the UAE are so rich
that they need to find new and extravagant ways to spend their money. They have
the world's tallest building. The world's largest mall - a place so big it has
3 or 4 different zip codes. They make islands out in the bay to look like palm
trees, a map of the UAE and a map of the world. They have Ferrari school buses,
the servants have maids, they regularly travel into space - on the backs of
unicorns - without the need for oxygen! All of this proving that you can do
anything if you have enough money.
The entire country is made up entirely
of desert, early settlements popping up around whatever fresh water source was
available. These settlements are UAE's cities today and were only created in
the last 25 years or so in an aggressive development plan that is a model for
the rest of the world. Everything is built according to plan and the plan
includes a vision of what will be needed 50 years from now. So it is more than
what is needed now, but what will be needed later. It made me think of so many
different things the US could do to be more responsible in developing, but I'm
not going to go into that here.
Wow, your travels had to be fabulous since this is one marvel I would like to see live, let alone go inside
