    Yeah, the reporters scrambling to get the next story about the 'other side of India', are missing some of the more interesting stories about the still-racist rich Middle-East (ask about paycheck ceilings. Even for corporate jobs. With the explanation being that they're paid equivalent to the value of their home currency. Even though everyone has to deal with the same prices and rents.)

    Doha, the city I grew up in, is a little quieter and a lot less flashy than Dubai, but has to deal with the same things. (Labourers aren't even allowed in the malls on weekends!) Maybe a little more 'real'.

    Its sad that with majority of men moving out to Dubai and other Gulf countries, they are treated badly and at times even worse.

    don't know about you...it's a bit like Singapore isn't it? the crass materialism, the elitist attitude towards foreign labourers...you know what I mean.

    Nice post. I'm planning to move in Dubai and I would like to ask for your opinions on where is the ideal place to live at.
