she just didnt convey her point well i assume. I think she is referring to the excellent marketing that Dubai has embarked along with all the development. If you think about it the hype that Dubai has created is just as equal to the amount of development. People from all around the globe are all about moving to this city now and experiencing the 7 star hotels, artificial islands blah blah ... however people move here and soon reality hits them.. high rents, bad traffic, transient expat culture , etc ....
so ya i agree with you cutie the dubai goverment has done a great job in marketing the city with things like Burj Al Arab and Emirates airlines..

Honestly though, people love to complain, and I wonder if its the high number of UK people living in Dubai that has lead to complaining becoming a national past-time of many expats.
The roads are bad.
It's too hot.
Rent is expensive.
The locals are rude.
etc.
Personally, I love the place. Yes the roads are bad, but not the worst. Of course it's hot, it's in the middle east. Rent is on the rise, but it is following a cycle witnessed in many countries. And yes, the locals are rude, wherever you go in the world.
You need to take the good with the bad. Dubai has a big vision, and part of Dubai growing is selling this vision to the rest of the world to ensure it gets the tourism and the growth.
