[quote=jsarno;339946]Honestly, I am impressed with your geography. I have an excellent sense of where countries are, and US Geography, but no one seems to know anything about that.
Dubai also has built what looks like a palm tree out in the middle of the sea. They built luxury homes out there so everyone can have ocean front property![/quote]


Yeah, I had no idea about Dubailand. Those home are probably to expensive for either of us. The Saudis and Kuwaitis have alot of money. I was in a recreation center located outside of Camp Doha, that we refered to as the Marble Palace in Kuwait. I went to the snack bar to get a burger and a soda and it costed me the equivalent of $11. That was back in 1998.

Since 2001 soldiers have not been allowed to go off of the compound. I even believe that Doha has been closed. Although I am not completely sure.

WHAT? That should be wrong...nothing wrong with some good ole fashion porn!

By the way, I was looking at real estate on the Palm islands in Dubai, and a 3 bedroom will go for around 1.3 mil.
Totally affordable for those that live in the DC area! :D

I bet you that EQ is still waiting in line for a copy of Madden, or he is playing it already.

Apparently the Palms were so successful that they are going to build 3 more, including 1 called the World.

It's not on sale here for another 35 minutes.
But I can't buy it anyway. I need my money for this trip to Denver. I can't justify buying a game.
