About a year or so, a friend of mine convinced me that the smart rupee (or whatever the hell they use) was on real estate in Dubai. Apparently, the very mention of the emirate was an ear-perker amongst the suit and tie/cigar shop-types. People were clamoring for land to build the next Las Vegas!
Y'know, the real estate business has always put me off. Too much money exchanging hands...too much robbing Peter to pay Paul. I'm just not that saavy or that interested.
I find it interesting that in such a short time since it's re-development, Dubai has had to really combat corruption. The irony is so thick you could build a city with it.
The most recent casuality of this monarchy/oil-city had her throat slashed by a hotel-tycoon.
Just interesting.
