Not to offend those who live in Dubai city and may love it, I just see this place as one big shopping mall where everything is placed in a show case, glittering and shining, like advertisement portraying life as one never ending euphoric moment an nothing more. You should have lunch here and dinner there and every place there serve you more than you can eat for a lot more money than it should be, or, they serve you too little with their grand brand name that alone costs you the world. Ordinary clothes placed in extra-ordinary shops who give you an identity with their own name. Though everything looks the same and everything tastes the same but yet I am looking to taste and experience something different that would change me somehow, probably I wont find it here.
Big buildings, small buildings, round buildings, square buildings, under construction buildings, more under construction buildings, luxury flats, super luxury flats, ultra luxury flats. Artificial lakes, artificial beaches, artificial land, artificial islands, artificial life that lives in artificial houses and flats looking for reality mostly in their own than the life in this city. You should have money, more money, lots of money and then some more. We will give you experiences at home. Order food, go to movies, do shopping, go skiing in the desert, splashing in water at the Wadi and then go to the desert for an adventure drive. What more do you want?
Do your work, live your life. In the five days, go out there and work for apparently only money that you will spend and spend a lot on things that have no meaning themselves and give you no meaning. Fake smiles, fake enthusiasm, fake purpose, eat fake food having fake variety in a city that has no culture or life of itself. Air conditioning in homes, air conditioning in cars, air conditioning at offices, air conditioning at malls, air conditioning at mosques. Don't experience the natural weather, don't step on the sand, don't eat the local food, don't look for the local culture, because there is none left. This I would say is worlds most man made place on earth. Some might say there are more fake places around the world but I think I am staying at one of the best.
