United Arab Emirates Wrap Up

Amazing... Need I say more? Free healthcare, no taxes, good quality education, high-class luxury, international business, and good looking women. You can check everything off your bucket list in Dubai or Abu Dhabi, except for something that requires you to go to another country. Tallest building in the world, largest mall in the world, ice skating, snow skiing, sky diving, own an island that is a country, race cars, race camels, play polo, see formula 1 racing, the list goes on. I have seen every luxury car in a matter of two days. These cities are founded on oil money. Talk about entrepreneurs for the people.

I will say that I question the speed of their construction. Even now, there are cranes everywhere. I wonder if it is really necessary. A possible commercial and residential real estate bubble? Maybe there's something I don't know.

I truly fell in love with Dubai. Everything about it is amazing. Also, coming from Columbia, where there is not a shortage of homeless people, and to be in Dubai, where there aren't any (at least that you can see), was really nice. Poverty doesn't seem to exist. Both Abu Dhabi and Dubai are very international cities. People working there are from all corners from the earth; not many people are really "from" Dubai or Abu Dhabi. The cities also caters to its young professionals, plenty of extracurricular activities to engage in!

Always wanted to go, and now I've been; can't wait to go back. They should be a must do on anyone's bucket list! What to check off next?

Only time will tell and anything is possible.
