I have to be honest, I didn't fall in love with Dubai itself. It was far too pretentious for me. But that isn't to say that there aren't a lot of great things about it . . .

I wanted to see this crazy place where everything is possible, where the local population is almost minute in numbers and where foreigners don't rule. Local customs reign, rules are strict, and experiences are incredible.

Visiting friends, my wife, Pam, and I work hard to enjoy this reincarnation of Hong Kong in the desert. We are partially successful. This is a good news-bad news review.

Ten years ago or so, Shaikh Mohammed Al-Maktoum of Dubai stated publicly that he wanted Dubai to become the "new Hong Kong." This was no idle boast. This tiny emirate on the Arabian Gulf coast is fast becoming just that. It has glitz, glamour, and extraordinary panache.
