No matter where you come, the first day in a strange country is the most difficult. Nothing is understandable, you cannot even cross the road correctly. Money is flying away with extreme speed as you understand yet nothing in the local currency. These were my first thoughts and impressions of Dubai…

Dubai is a big construction site: a lot of things are erected at once. That is why movement around this city resembles scenes of the military chronicle - among the trenches and hollows with no guarantee that the road in front of you is not dug over.
If you think that Dubai is an Arabian city you are wrong. This is a Hindu city – the city is colored with Indian workers in overalls: one place gathered all red overalls, another one is seen as a blue spot and the third one is completely green because of them. Some of the Indians in addition to the overalls are wearing turbans.
And you know the main peculiarity? Everybody, wearing costumes from uniform to Gucci, are all clerks, not worth attention. The main guys have national clothes on, this confuses a bit, I must say.
Moreover, the Italian architectures will erect a sky-scraper in Dubai. This building will be peculiar with the fact that every its floor will be revolving on its axis. It will be the first construction in the world with all revolving parts, before the world architecture knew only revolving elements, usually on top of sky-scrapers.
I will definitely visit Dubai by the moment of this building unveiling!
