I was watching a show about Dubai, on the Discovery Channel the other day, it was so amazing, some of their buildings are the highest in the world. And, it's all owned by one singel person, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, he is basicly the king of Dubai, his family took charge back in the mid 1800s.
This Island, is doing nothing but getting bigger and bigger, they have several other Islands, all these islands were made by Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, with billions of tones of sand to make them, so that way more people can live there. This is basicly a world of its owned, they have indoor ski mountains to ski on, and all the snow is fack. A hotel and restrant that everything (as far as dishes go) are glass, it was weird watching about Dubai. Everything is owned by one guy, and everything goes through him.
I wonder what causes him to do all this, its like simcity for the average person, do you think it's just something he enjoys doing, making some of the worlds most awesome buildings? And they are amazing, here is a link, so you can see some of them, http://images.google.com/images?hl=en&q=dubai&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=N&tab=wi

I don't care how safe they claim Dubai is, who wants to travel to the middle east to vacation or even live, especially with the turmoil going on in Dubai's neighboring countries.
wow i did not know about any of this stuff. that is so so cool. a wise man onece said, only thing the man with power want is more power and controlling the world is like ultimate version of the accomplishment. this actually reminds me of the true man's show by Jim cary.
