Dubai - Pictures

I leave you some pictures of last weekend trip to Dubai. The last one shows a lot of abandoned cars, abandoned by their foreign owners escaping trial and emprisonment as a result of their failure to meet their financial obligations. In Dubai, if you get into bebt and can't pay you go to prison, there is no concept of bankrupcy. There are more lots like this one, like at the Airport departures. In the background stands the famous Burj Al Arab tower, symbol of Dubai and of its neo-liberalism. Ironic...The river shown in the picture, is also artificial, not more than a channel letting seawater go inland.
