Dubai Dubai
1. The Transportation Authority is going to build air con bus stops which is really a relief for many...it's part of the campaign to encourage people to use the public transport more often.
2. A piece of good news that brings smile to all expats here..
In the past,if your work permit is cancelled by termination or resignation..you will get a 6 mths employment and entry ban..totally. This is deemed rather unfair to employees. The latest revamped law which was announced yesterday lifted the entry ban.
3. Michael Jackson was (still is i think) in town this week. But I think his days are over. No more screaming crowd. He looks so pale...cosmetic perhaps.
4. Dubai is set to build a Dinosaur World..should be ready next year. Life size creatures...that roar (or is it growl?)...movements too. Over here, either they do it real mega or they wont do at all.
6. Another crazy project in the pipeline..approved. It's called the Rotating City
-twenty towers with revolving floors, as well as floating and "flying" villas
"The whole thing rotates," said the source. "You will be able to acquire villas, apartments, floating villas on water, [and] flying villas [that] elevate in the air. So you have the accessibility to a villa that not only rotates on ground, but it gives you up to a 15 metre to 20 metre up in-the-air elevation. It’s a mind-blowing project."
