"Hey, let's make the tallest tower in the world, and make the actual height a secret, a lot earlier and taller than expected tallest skycraper in NYC, Freedom Tower. Sure.. Money is not a problem."
"Hey, let's build the tallest hotel(s)! Please don't make it (them) look normal!"
"Hey, let's buy the top athelete names to name our buildings. Pay them as much as they want!"
"Hey, let's build a snow park in the middle of desert! You got it!"
"Hey, let's make the biggest mall in the world, no matter who would occupied it. if Zara wants to build 4 stores inside, we'll let them!"
"Hey, let's make a cluster big island that can be seen from space! Oh wait, make four of them!"
OHHH PUHLEEAASE!!
And the this first cluster of the man-made island is done and just celebrated the grand opening. Let's meet all the celebrities who was coming for the event!
Fireworks in Grand Opening of Palm Jumeriah, I hope it's not fake as Olmpic opening in BeijingI hate hate hate the fake buildings, islands (Yes I hate Pulau Sentosa, but somehow it works well with Singapore, that is also has lots of fake beaches, lakes, etc.) and everythings that so unnatural. But now I'm realizing that between hate and love sometime has only a very fine line.
I thought that I will have no interest to visit this city. Maybe if I would probably because I did involved in some projects in Abu-Dhabi for my ex-company and some design proposal and competition works in Dubai (especially one in Palm Jebel Ali). But now I'm starting to think to come if I have a chance. Well done Dubai marketing team!
