Wonderful place, Dubai. If it's not paved or watered everyday, I guarantee it is sand. Most of it built by Indians, Pakistanis, and other poverty stricken people, in slave like conditions, passports confiscated, and screwed out of whatever paltry sums they were supposed to be paid.
And if you're a professional expat, you get to go to debtor's prison if you lose your job. Thousands who were laid off during the recession simply left the keys to their car in the ignition at the airport... not possible to walk away from a lease or car payment without mandatory jail.
7 out of 10 people in Dubai are foreigners... Dubai citizens don't touch such downstream jobs like 'hotel manager'. Instead, they hold senior positions, are rarely seen, and are almost always shadowed by foreign talent who actually knows what is going on.
Yes, it is a tall building... and a woeful one as well.
this kinda gives me hope for my dream of one day moving to India and becoming a cab driver
