Several days ago, CBC had a small piece on Dubai |

showing the city. I was flabbergasted. The place oozes a futuristic feel. There's a mall with, get this, a skiing facility built in it and people can watch people ski from inside the mall. Yep, that's skiing in the middle of the desert. This ski facility is top notch and amazing, I couldn't believe it. Makes sense I suppose in that there's nothing but buckets of money in that part of the world, but :wow: ...and lots of tourists too. Sorry no link..but the CBC website probably has something about there.
Of course, I'm not saying this port deal makes sense, cause it doesn't *a duh* - just wanted to mention what I had seen on CBC since Dubai is all over the news right now.
