Dubai is like...

Dubai is like what would happen if Las Vegas REALLY let go of its inhibitions.

Dubai is like what would happen if architects acted out their fantasies, rather than their dreams.

Yeah, this place is pretty crazy. The downtown, old part of town is a nice little Arabic town. Its in the new part of town where things get cooking. My hotel is on a street/highway? that is lined with 40 or so towers (with more on the way). There is an inverted-Y shaped one, the tallest building in the Mideast, and nearly every color of glass imaginable.

Best part though, tomorrow I've got reservations for the bar at the top of the Burj al Arab, the world's only 7-star hotel. It's the one out on the island shaped like a sail.

But before that, I'm going to a bar that overlooks The Palm. Woo hoo. And with flight at 2 am tomorrow to boot!!!
