Wow, I had absolutely no idea Dubai was like this. All I ever heard was how it was the "Hong Kong of the Middle East" or a "Jewel in the Desert" and things of the like. The fact that its actually a superficial hellhole built on slave labour and credit makes far more sense.
Now one of the few places I have absolutely no interest in visiting. Hope it dries up and gets washed to the sea... which after reading this article doesn't seem like its too far off.
