Dubai,
Love it or hate it, I cant decide. Their are times when i love Dubai, and other times, when i can not for the life of me see the attraction, high rise buildings yes, amazing arcitectural projects, YES, lots of nightlife, drink, and all the rest-Yes, Tradition (NO) I guess I hate the fact that when you walk around in Dubai, it is a rare site to actually see Emirati people, but instead an array of multinational, overtakers, races from all over, is this a good thing, well yes, a multinational nation does make for eduacted, open minded citizens who can learn from each other, but if all countries were to open their doors as UK or America has done, then you loose your identity, your heritage and your exclusivness. UK is just like a small version of the world, every nation has an area, or town, or somthing or the other, you are no longer coming England, you could be anywhere, just choose, in China, India, Egypt, Sudan, Spain, you name it, we have lost our touch, and as long as the UK keeps giving out passport at Heathrow it will never change.
Racist, not at all, I find different nationalities, and different races intriguing and if my country can give opportunities and better standards of living to less unfortunate people then good, but their is a limit, and you have to look after your own people first.
Look at what the Gulf Region does, the GCC countries, they do provide many opportunities to Expats and so on, but they hold the right to development to their own people, they still keep their rights for their own nation. With Dubai at hand, they are changing, their idea is to open their country, allowing expats to buy property and atain feehold rights, e.g an open Residence Permit. This creates a multinational country.
What do you think, let me know........................................
