its amazing.

i spent a few days there last year sometime, was so much fun.

the markets are cheap and interesting, good gold markets and souks.

didnt go skiing there though, little too congested.

parents are planning on going back sometime soon for longer, and do some other stuff that we didnt have time for.

 
half true.

you cant go into a bar/pub. there arent any. nor can you walk into a bottleo and buy some. yet again because there arent any.

you can have alcohol in some areas of your hotel though.
 
Are you for real? No BS, in 2006 I was working at a divecenter affiliated with a hotel owned by this guy. The first time they booked their dives, he and his staff, they didn't show up but still payed for the entire bill, not that it was astronomic but still way more then I ever spend cash on any given day. Damn, tips weren't that good for a guy that rich hahaha

Anyway, been in Dubai once, about 3 year ago, for a real short time but it was an awesome place. Love to go back there one day when I've settled down and don't spend all my money on skiïng and stuff
 
I love this one, those Watervillas are an arabic writing saying something in the lines of:

"Take wisdom only from the wise,

Not everyone who rides a horse is a jockey.

It takes a man of vision to write on water,

Great men rise to great challenges."

wow, quinny is a big jerk! look quinny, i didnt capitolize the first letter or your name. i also spelled "capitolize" wrong and i didnt put an apostrophe in didnt! oh no, please dont make fun of me cuz i dont think that im a fricken genius
 
Look champ...I know you think you're being really clever by calling me out here, but the fact of the matter is that you're a twit looking for a e-fight. I have no problem with spelling or grammar. I do however have a problem with morons that waltz into these threads and make wild claims and assumptions that are so far of base in reality...that you couldn't get a caveman with down syndrome to believe it. I'm also bothered when people ask stupid questions that are either already answered in the thread, or easily Google-able. Just because someone has a complete and blatant disregard for common sense, it doesn't mean they have to be a nuclear physicist. This is the kind of shit that makes NSG suck. By ridiculing the outright stupidity, I feel I'm providing a community service by making NSG suck less. So, as they would say in England, feel free to "sod off".
 
i dont think im really clever, but you do. and if nsg sucks so much, then why bother with it and why bother with the people who post things in it
 
wow bud, i didnt even say anything to you, im sorry if i offended u but i dont think theres anything for you to get harsh to me about
 
yea, well the people that own those hotels probably went to school, worked ridiculously hard and learned a lot, than they went to a good college, worked really hard in college, and put a shitload of hardwork into their hotel business to make it successful. You can't just give that hard earned money away to people who are poor. Don't young people realize that the world is not fair. And just by shifting money from the rich to the poor your not gunna change anything except make people no longer want to study and work hard because they know that in the long run their gunna get their money taken away. It is like throwing money into a black hole.
 
Guess you haven't heard about the working conditions there. Might want to read up on that shit. They make sweat shops look like a vacation.

And there's a chick in my grad program from Dubai. She's actually hot, but she fucking sucks as a person. She's the most unhappy, unfriendly waste of hotness I've ever come across. Maybe the people there are different, but she's the only connection to Dubai I have.

 
hahahah i was watching that on sixty minutes too. i knew a kid from dubai...he was in my chemistry class last year but he moved back. he told me it was sick there....and the indoor ski slopes are amazing. idk about anyone else, but i think i'd rather ski outside...
 
stupid q.yes but im curious: what if you run for a wide ball and miss and fall off the edge? is that possible or do they have something like glass there, im guessing they do but anyone know?
 
Dubai isn't really a city fuled by petrolium revanue... in fact only about 3 percent of its reveanue is generated from petrolium exportation. Dubai is actually expected to be completly dry of petrolium and natural gas in only 20 years. The real money that dubai makes comes cheifly from tourism and other service business. All the hype Dubai gets in the media is actually the effect rather effective marketing strategy.

In addition an estimated 250,000 workers, who live in sub human conditions and are paid almost nothing... absolutely nothing in some cases, build all those cool buildings. So consider that the next time you look at them.

Oh, and Quinny is awesome.
 
i dont think you know how filthy rich people get with oil..... btw, 1 gallon of gas is 3 bucks atleast... multiply that by atleast 500 million and thats a gallon of gas for say a little over america's population.. only 1 gallon of gas and thats 1.5 billion. now multiply that by how many gallons it takes to fill a cars tank, lets take my tercel... so 9 gallons 1.5billionx9 ( assuming everyones driving a tercel. thats just alone 13.5 billion dollars. in like 1 day. And thats just cars, what about planes and boats, and eskimo's.
 
hey fuck you man,, just cause quinny spends a half hour looking up stats on the internet doesnt means he knows whats really going on in the world. Jesus everybody thinks that between fucking television and the internet that THEY KNOW THE WHOLE STORY about everything. The richest guy in the world might be a fucking drug dealer for all you know. You all remind me of the people who read the national inquirer and preach it to everybody like you know whats up.

so ill play yalls faggot spell out the answer game

if you owned 5 percent of the oil in the world

there are 4 trillion barrels of oil left in the world according to experts

thats 200 billion barrels of oil you own

a barrel is selling at 100 dollars right now

you would be payed 20 TRILLION dollars for your oil... eventually

even though you onlly have about a few billion dollars now you have all that oil

these oil people could lose bill gates's annual income and not even fucking realize it

 
is that for real?

We had a little section (just brief) on Dubai last year in world history, I know it has been off the charts in economic development but had no idea it took that kind of transformation in just fourteen years, that is amazing...i hope to go visit there some day it looks like an amazing place.
 
i like how the president of dubai or whatever has the worlds biggest yacht, which has a yacht come out of it.. its like a 500 ft yacht, and inside it is a spare 75 foot yacht haha
 
"Yalls faggot"? Did your mom drink a little too much when you were in the womb?

First, it should be completely obvious that a single individual cannot reap all of the revenue from a company. It's impossible, but seeing as how you have proven you know as much about industry as I do about Portuguese lance making...well, actually thats probably not true because I could tell you what a lance is while you couldn't tell me what a business is. You probably couldn't even tell me the difference between revenue and income.

Second, you also probably don't even have any data to back up any of those bullshit numbers you keep pulling out of your ass. I didn't even need to waste 30 minutes of my time digging any of my stuff up because I already know this shit because I study this kind of stuff everyday.

Third, it's also impossible for the richest man on the planet to hide anywhere. It's simply not possible to sweep that kind of money under the rug, people would notice. But it doesn't matter to you because you have no concept of money anyway. Would you like to show me how/where you got that "hundreds of trillion of dollars" idea from?

Forth, we need to degenerate into gay jokes now? Okay, then please stop saying shit to that retarded pizza delivery guy with the lazy eye and buck teeth. Seems he made a "special delivery" to your mom's door exactly nine months before you were born...yeah, you guessed it, that's why both you and your mom are such "Meat Lovers".
