I watched a few show on the stuff they are building there, like the world map islands just like the big palm tree. its freaken crazy, but the funniest thing to me is not one arab engineer worked on anything, they had a ton of guys from various parts of europe and some american and a couple asians doing all the engineering, like the fin who figured out how to break the waves without blocking the view, or the other guy who figured out how to keep the water circulating so it doesn't get stinky.
They may have the money, but they couldn't even come close to building this stuff on their own.

I wen there three times in 08 and it is pretty impessive for a freaking desert. Traffic is horrible and there are more cranes than I've ever seen. Problem is, they're economy is turning to shit and people are bailing left and right. I heard there are over 1000 cars abandoned at the airport, people loose thier jobs and just bail. You go to jail there if you can't pay your bills....
