Project Dubai
Dubai is one of those places in the world where you can escape from at any time but at any time is no time ever that you can find it again.
Ach yah: Dubai. Sprinkling of white-distached and Ghuttra’d Arabs, a custom built lambo Murcielano, a Ferrari Enzo or two – one red, the other one – RED of course. New cars, Indian faces by the trillians, British faces by the millions, modern viceroys galore. Petrodollars may have driven this econ dev 100 % to its present state but it ain’t necessarily a petrodollar that fuels the growth of growth and progress of profgress from ‘ere on in. Diversification is the order of the day and the 10 percent richest of the rich fling and grab, African-country-sized-GDP portions into and out of the fledging UAE exchange with just the sort of regularity you would attribute to emerging growth fledgling exchanges wherein the majority of stocks are held by a minority rich elite. Havoc thrivers.
Faces of Americans, Canadians, South Americans, Europeans of every kin & Klan dot the miasma. Faces of lesser Arab nations lend their olive hue to the grand canvas. Chinese, Nepalese, Vietnamese, Malaysian and all the more East Asian Faces meld with “-istan faces, too many to name or list, but certainly, mostly, bearded.
Mother Russia’s default spills its steppe-dweller citizens, the ones with the means, the ones embracing the sound philosophy of business-driven, profit-driven economies run by merit-driven “-tocracies” into this area with a steady and increasing optimism.
Even deepest darkest South Africa pushes out of its nest its only fair-haired ones left. “Fly!!!” they’re commanded. And they do, being distantly Dutch and white and not afraid of hard work and not averse to success built in tough environments they fly and find their flock ever more firmly intrenched in this metropolitan metropolis of Dubai. The sensual Persians have their cake and eat it too here in Dubai. The flowing river of Farsi and its accompanying wealth finds a wide delta here.
This is Dubai. It’s being built, very very fast. And still, like its main beach road project – the Jumaira beach road project, it seems Project Dubai will never be finished.
