Damn this is sick.. this is a new project for the island that is awaiting approval. 
The Da Vinci Tower, where each floor can rotate 360°. And entire tower will change design every 90 minutes, gradually rotating the floors. Everything is possible, from straight to crooked:

You're looking at the next center of world commerce. Companies are already planning to move there (including Halliburton). It's geographically the perfect link between the West and the growing East |

yea Computer i actually watched that, what Dubai is doin is very impressive. This is the perfect example of what happens to a country when they actually sell there exports, albiet oil lol, instead of being locked to for all eternity to free trade agreements. |

Holy fucking shit. That is insane. I'd like to go visit there sometime. Probably the only Arab place I will ever visit. I'd like to stay in that 7 star hotel. And wtfunderwater hotel. I like the idea of the rotating building. Some Harry Potter shit. |

It's location is kinda iffy lol. It's surrounded by countries filled with people who would love to decapitate an American. I imagine there will be plenty of those people living there. |

what's weird is the pictures my dad has from when he was there almost 30 years. mostly shanty houses and tents and blackmarket bizzares, nothing over 3 stories yet. |

lol, I thought that. Among other things: Underwater hotel. omfg. the rotating building. omfg. the entire layout. omfg general prettiness and interest-ness... Just wow. It leaves me speechless except to think one thing: Tssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssunaaaaaaaaamiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii! Other than being childish, heh, I'd rather visit this place than Europe or Australia. It rivals my want to see Tokyo. (Side note, for anyone that thinks New York is huge, I hear Tokyo is like 3x that size. Never been myself, but I wanna do New York > Tokyo and see what it's like. ) |

i can tell you that country is something else man.. and yes, surrounded by countries that hate amercians, but they could really care less. they are fucking RICH.. plus. dubai and abu dhabi is just a tourist spot for europeans anyway.. so its really diverse. this is my first stop for vacation once i get out of school. i still got some of the currency from when i was last there. its fun. |

Is alchohol legal there? I know in some middle eastern countries it isn't. I can't imagine that place being fun at all if you can't drink lol. |

I imagine the UAE is a secular state like turkey and not an islamic theocracy. religion isn't very conducive to that kind of social progress. |

Social progress in Dubai? No. Economic progress? Yes. |

Very wonderful and clean cities, at least when I was there. Most Middle east cities are very clean, but frown on alchohol, so yeah.....not great places for a Sailor to go =P I like the highways there, I was never stuck in traffic. |
