I have to say, I love their ambition. They build the coolest stuff over there. I just doubt they will be able to pull this one off. Even if they somehow were able to build one, I dont know if it would have the effect they were looking for.

Can't wait for the environmentalists to go over there and protest.

I used to stay at a hotel there on the beach with a nice water view. The last time I was there, my view is now of a hospital that they build on an entirely new island. They did this in like 12 months.

The UAE is one of the few GCC nations that understand that oil will someday be gone. They've done a really good job of modernizing their economy and creating other business sectors outside of oil.

The first time I was there, Justin Timberlake was performing on Yas Island and Black Sabbath was the following week. It was surreal.

And they are celebrated for their expansion but funny how the UN looks the other way on their human rights issues.

Set aside land for massive land fill. Ours in Cocoa is starting to look like foothills.
