and wow, am i so overwhelmed! covering across 4 halls just means that there are a lot going on
in this field in the region. some even call it madness! crazy! well, i couldn't agree more. the fight for the 'est' has always been the name of the game... the biggest, the tallest, the gradest, the finest, etc... i even read in some chatroom how they find the dubai developments very fake. well, matter-of-factly, it is indeed fake. coz they do not have what the other countries are blessed with. but they did not take this sitting down, instead achieved it to the most extreme. knowing that in the near future, their main source of living will be depleted, oil that is, they have long prepared by opening other souces of living-- tourism.they have the Palm, not only one but three. also, The World, reclaiming lands and shaped it into
world continents. Burj Dubai, the tallest building in the world. Ski Dubai, the biggest indoor skiing facility... in the middle of a desert! there are concepts of doing Eiffel Tower, Taj Mahal, and all the other wonders of the world. the underwater hotel is rumored to be underway. weird architectural buldings were displayed in the show. and the list just goes on with completion of projects happening every year...but on the other hand, if you've been here for a long time, and have heard of the other projects being launched but never reached groundbreaking event after many years, you kinda become uninterested and worse, sarcastic about all these grandeous concepts. after all, it's never a done deal, until you see the development built.
one thing positive i know though... in all stages, whether project is completed or not, thousands of jobs are always created.... and so the exodus of the pinoys may not yet end in the near future, sadly leaving behind many families hoping for a better present and future.
