And did we laugh at some of the descriptions ... probably blocked for resident, but a hoot for the rest

I don't agree with everything he says but it is well written by A.A. Gill who writes for the Sunday Times. In all the years I've read that paper I don't think I've ever read a positive thing about Dubai.

An interesting read, the article is just one of many written by a reporter who basically knows nothing about Dubai or how it works.

Got a bit tired at times of the endless flowery language, but I can agree with a lot of what was written.
Although the biggest laugh I had was seeing that it was written for "Vanity" Fair, which I am proud to say, is a magazine that I do NOT subscribe to. :wink:
