Hi Mike,
Thx for the sharing above.

I was just watching a bunch of youtube videos about Dubai and Abu Dhabi; abandoned luxury/exotic cars, plus the rules, the worker's conditions (the ones building their skyscrapers), how much money you need to get by, reports from people living over there, ...brief everything about how to behave @ the beach to drink permits to what not photograph to what not to wear...no showing of shoulders (women), no mini skirts, to no drugs or you could be executed, to riches of the riches, prices per night for a cheap hotel room, to stuff that most normal people living in America, UK, Ireland, etc., should be aware of before they visit, to who is controlling from top to bottom, to no street musicians and dancing, to no forests, to no doing almost anything outside, to no outdoors, to everything inside buildings and hotels, to the extravagances, to the richest oil magnates buying anything they want and having their own laws and controlling everyone else. This is the last place on Earth I want to visit. It's like a super ultra luxurious concentration camp. No ghetto blasters playing the Blues outside, anywhere...not on the streets not on the beach. With over 100 degrees @ the beach no bikinis and men need to wear a shirt. Zero tolerance for a joint, and everything you do that they don't do will get you arrested.
The water (ocean) is clean though, from what they say...and they have swimming pools. Some of their laws would be good for here in America, and some Canadian laws would be good for them over there. When you drive in Dubai no finger showing and no dispute whatsoever with other drivers. It is illegal.
The opulence and diplomatic arrogance are @ their best. The money showing with buildings and cars and gold and horses and building islands and higher skyscrapers is number one prime attitude, and secrets and hiding and covering....
And same sex unions (gay) is strictly prohibited and never use your left hand...tra-la-la are just some of their don't do or it's in jail behind bars.
...No kissing no hugging in public, no nudity. Everything has to be inside where no one can see...in total privacy. And don't talk about it.
Anyway I simply got lost in their laws and ways of life. I just don't understand why people want to live there...there are no mountains in the background, no forests, no jungles, no large trees, no wildlife, no outside life, just sand and ocean and no pleasant view from your cell.
If I want to play Blues over there I can only do inside of one of their buildings, not outside not @ the beach, in the street...how boring.
In contrast to the multi billionaires check the conditions of the construction workers...six to eight per small room, living in outside the city walls in like barricades type and earning less than a dollar per hour!
Yeah, Dubai and Abu Dhabi they take good care of people and human's rights. Jeez...poor billionaires with restricted visions and narrow minded on things that are superficial and of zero value. It's like falling in love with a gold wall and getting buried under it. And no Blues music playing when they bury you in the desert under the flying sand.
