Dubai? I just said Hello

...I know, just killing it today.

But really, about 3 years ago I'm pretty sure everyone had it in their heads to visit Duabi at some point in their life. I mean, PGA certified courses, that whole man made island thing, tallest building in the world, generally everyone being rich... whats not to like about this? Dubai was basically advertised as the Vegas of the Middle East. Like I'm pretty sure Aladdin was chilling there with some genies and a pile of gold.

Apparently , 40% of the buildings in the country? city? (don't kill me) are vacant. As in, forty which by my calcuations is close to 50, fitty, whatever. Consequently, they keep building things and prices keep falling.

So this is supposed to dicourage people from going there? I mean " last year Dubai office space was the fourth most expensive in the world, at $1,214 per square foot per year." Is that a joke? 2 square feet of office space is the same as a crappy Boston apartment?

Good things come to those who wait... now as long as the pats keep losing I can afford to rent out some space in Dubai to chill in after I go to foxborough.
