SkinInsite Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 one last thing... I am not saying that people don't have different tastes... I am just saying that once you actually are next to these big ass buildings and think "oh wow that's cool" , and once you spend 2 hours trying to drive 10 blocks in 100 degree weather you may think that well maybe I there's something more to a cool place than what it looks like in pictures. If you like expensive hotels, bad traffic, and big buildings, then yes I admit, you will probably love Dubai And, no, nobody likes Frankfurt Atleast Frankfurt have a good mix of old and modern architechure. And I wish DC had their subway system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's on my list, I'm slowing moving east St.Petersburg(Leningrad )is another city I really want to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find that the further east I go, the more I enjoy myself. I think as the cultures get further and further away from European influence, I find them infinitely more fascinating. That's why my ultimate goal is Tokyo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lots of fine dining in Tokyo, even better than Paris imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sly Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 It's a financial district in the ****ing desert... you can have more fun in New York or hundreds of other cultured cities. Exactly. Like I was saying, I'd love to visit this place.... if only just to be able to go, "hey, I've been there!" But to live in a place like that for an extended period of time? No way. You're on the other side of the world in a desert between Iraq, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. No matter how many crazy buildings or amusement parks or bridges or islands they're building, it's still Dubai. I enjoy seeing my family and friends, and also going to American sporting events throughout the year (like maybe seeing the REDSKINS?!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D'Pablo Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 No joke, Dubai is where James Bond-like villains go to retire with their loot. My uncle has been a developer there for almost 10 years and I can't believe the horror stories he tells me. BTW, my uncle is a despicable man and I doubt he thinks the same way of his stories as I do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
