It might be the worst global economic crisis since the 1930s and global and
local share prices might be plummeting - but still the Burj Dubai Skyscraper
keeps going (now 818 m).
Visited Dubai in July (2009) and took some pictures and video of
the skyscraper that you can see here:

Including pics from the Sheik Zayed Road:

Certainly has that 21st century feel to it!
And a zeitgeist like nothing you see anywhere else?
The way/wave of the future?
How is it (economic theory) - money builds skyscrapers or skycrapers bring
in money?
Anyway, Dubai will certainly be one of those hotspots on planet Earth that
it
will be interesting to follow in the years to come.
