I go to Iraq
I am welcomed by this man:
And this woman.
The entrance to Iraq:
And right next door… Russia!
This is Dubai's Global Village, a sort of Disney-World-Pavilion-Meets-QVC. Every country puts up its own little station, where it sells its local foods, crafts, and in the case of Japan, little statues of the Eiffel Tower. For example, in the Russia building you find precious tchotchkes like:
and
It's the ultimate in the "under one roof" retail concept:
Dolls and ceremonial knives. Bring the whole family!
Other countries included:
Kenya!
Japan!
Germany!
Somewhat disturbingly, Germany, Japan and Italy were all clustered together at the entrance to the park. I half expected the France and Poland pavilions to be smoking rubble.
Australia!
Egypt!
Morocco.
This photo of Morocco Sleepy Head will stand in for Morocco's façade, which sucked.
Sri Lanka!
Britain!
What the hell is the guy doing to that cow?
And this woman.
