Behold the Dubai of the future!
George Costanza: "You know I always wanted to pretend I was an architect."
As long as we're talking about architecture this week, here's one more set of pictures to set your little George Costanza hearts
a-flutter.
Inside Dubai's palatial malls, you find lots of things: DKNYs by the dozen, fashion runways, and of course, miniature horses. This website will soon feature a very colorful horse show, in fact... though maybe we'll wait until Jen M. completes the bar exam.
But you find even stranger things in the malls, like giant model cities. This model -- as long as a school bus -- represents some development they want to build in Dubai, as if what this city really needed were more giant buildings.
In any case, I give you... the Dubai of the future!
Though I think this city's constant lust for more, bigger, richer is a bit unattractive, the little boy in me thought this model was totally... freaking... awesome. Look at the little people! Going about their happy little business! I'm sure it's just a coincidence that they're all adorable little white people.
The itty-bitty cars trundle happily along the itty-bitty streets. In their tiny little world, a cool breeze blows in off the Gulf, rustling the precious little trees. All seems peaceful in the world of the happy little white people... They are totally unaware of the terrible giant lurking on the horizon...

Hey Eric, looks like you are having a great time. Where are some pictures of you? Starting to forget what you look like!
Gee, what with all those white people, one could almost mistake the Dubai of tomorrow for Minneapolis of today!
'Sup Klein, this is DoBias. I've been meaning to drop a line and say howdy. I'm lovin' this blog. And by 'blog,' I really mean 'weblog.'
The problem that most ppl arnd here face is that they have lotsa money, but nowhere to spend it.
So they bring in the most expensive thing they can in a mall to help such ppl out! :)
