Dubai

I recently spent 12 days in Dubai, UAE. As with most of my business trips I had very little time to explore the area and do anything close to typical tourist activities. I did manage to spend Friday walking around the eastern end Mankhool Road but other than a lot low rent shops and apartments there wasn't much to look at.

Experiencing Dubai is like walking into a mirage. Construction absolutely ever where with roads changing daily, the light rail system being constructed, high rise buildings growing like mushrooms after a rainstorm and 100+ acre developments springing up like weeds. Still trying to figure out who is going to live in all of those million dollar apartments and lease those class 5A office suites.

More on Dubai later.
