i am amazed at how many ignorant assholes come on this forum... Dubai has gone bust, no doubt, but Abu Dhabi, another state which is part of the UAE has promised that they will repay the debts on Dubai's part if need be, it is part of the UAE constitution... Dubai's economy was never built on an economy from Oil, Dubai never had oil to begin with, it was Abu Dhabi that always had/has oil, and has reserves to last up till 2090 at the current demands....
Yes, most of them are curries, but they are labourers... unlike Australia, labour is cheap in the UAE... they don't take 2 months to make a frikkin bus stop, they make a 20 floor building in 2 months... And so what if they're defaulting? hasn't most of south america defaulted in the 80s/90s? hasn't most of east asia? and look at the development they had and look at the development in Dubai... their one side of the road is bigger than both the sides of Anzac Parade... be mindful of what you say...
