solopaddler Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Who would have thought that there'd be enough interest to build an indoor ski hill in Dubai of all places? That really is incredible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garyv Posted January 21, 2007 Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 (edited) TJ..just sent you some picture of that place via email about 10 minutes ago. I say keep your freekin ski hill and sell us oil at a reasonable price. Perhaps the next time we have to defend these guys we will have to declare that monument to decadence a sacred site. Oh heck I'm just mad cause I filled up both vehicles today!! Edited January 21, 2007 by Garyv Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TJQ Posted January 21, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2007 Ya gary... Thats why I posted it... lol... Its likely they would say the same thing about our sun tanning booths, strip joints and bars.... I thought just the fact that they sell "disposable socks" was hilarious... but I guess if you wear sandles all the time.. who needs socks??

Just for your info, Strip joints are considered off limits for any attacking force. Their listed as morale boosters in the Geneva convention!.

cisco Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Watched a TV documentary on that country a while ago. The head honchos there have decided to use all their dwindling oil reserve revenues to build the worlds foremost tourist destination. I recall the show saying that an apartment building/skyskraper is completed about every coupla minutes or so. Their even building a connected tourism-focused island complex that is so huge it's easily picked up by satelites. "Build it and they will come". Any idea how many rich/middleclass folks haven't experienced snow? A guy I know just returned from there. He was staying at a pal's condo and different beautiful 'girls' would knock on his door in the morning. Kinda like door-to-door salespersons..... he says their rates weren't bad either! LOL! I bet lotsa big executive types will enjoy holding their annual meetings there due to such perks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaque Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 yEp Cisco, the man made island is called "Palms of Dubai". To see the building of the land mass itself is incredible.
