I visited Dubai in the summer after 7 years. It has changed a lot. I was born and brought up over there. Lived 17 years of my life in UAE. Beautiful country, with lots to do. Going back over there after 7 years, it didn't feel like the same country i once lived in. It has become very expensive to live in. Rents there increase day after day. If you were to buy a condo for US 1 million in the pre planning stages, you could sell it for double the price once it was actually built.

It is true, the lifestyle over there is lavish. If you have a degree, your life there would be splendid. my dad worked for HSBC whilst in the UAE. car allowance, free dental and health, home allowance, education allowance, one free trip per year for the family. It was good back then, now it is far too expensive to maintain the same lifestyle.

I also forgot to add this, while on my trip from the airport to my relatives, we crossed the Burj Dubai and the driver was telling me that a lot of workers have died. A lot have fallen from the crane that is on the highest level currently. And since working up there on the crane has such a bad track record, a female crane operator is currently employed, she wanted the job. The second tower that Nakheel wants to build might have started laying its foundation, but getting workers to go that high will be a challenge they will be facing very soon.

I just read the link regarding the woman facing upto 6 years of jail for public adultery. Dubai is a muslim city, it has muslim laws and they must be followed. Such public acts anywhere in the world are punishable by a fine or some jail time and Dubai is no exception. Laws are strict over there. If you want to live somewhere and reap the benefits, you have to respect their system. Just because you can not afford a room to make out does not mean you complain about being caught on the beach.

Precisely.

Thanks Seb.
