Chords Of Life

Just returned from a business trip to Dubai and the place seems different from the last time already. The city is one big construction site. There must be as many (or more) under-construction sites as completed sites. It is said that one-third of the world’s cranes are in Dubai (I presume the remaining two-thirds are in China!).

Apparently the population of the UAE is expected to rise from the current 3-4mn to around 11 million by 2010. Whoa!

All in all, very exciting time to be there for business. There’s a lot of action, standard of living is said to be among the best in the world, etc.
