Dubai (n) pron. doo-bahy
1. (n) One of the seven Emirates located along the Southern Coast of the Persian Gulf. Estimated population (official figures are not published- so Dubai- see below) 2.2 million, 26% Arab population of which 17% are Emirati. 78% of the population are expatriates of which 63% are from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and the Philippines. English-speaking expats make up a mere 6.7% of the population.
2. (adj) to have the characteristics of something that is typically from or found in Dubai: That is so Dubai, How Dubai was that? (see also bling-bling)
How do you explain some thing that is 'so Dubai'? In its purest form, the photo to the left summarises it all. Yes, that is a fusse ball table, yes that is covered in diamantes and yes, it does cost $150,000. I did have a few stories of the experiences I have had, but thought I would leave those for the dinner parties. Instead, I thought I would post some photos which may help paint the picture or thread together the Persian rug as would be more appropriate in these parts of the world.Paris, London, Rome, Dubai...and a jade bathtub
Like the cows in Austria- now the blingbling camels of Dubai...
An outdoor airconditioner
A gold car, all gold
Diamante car badging- a badgers dream...
