Discovey channel had a profile on how they were built....old dredgers pumped sand to form the shapes....they were done WITHOUT gps which is amazing

Slightly off topic - Dubai is supposed to something else.
A lot of new RE going up as well.
Mix of old and new.

ah well...

It's fucking insane, amiga. The cities they're building are totally surreal.

i was going to go there for my honeymoon till i saw it was like 1500 a night for the worst room..

Oh, to have that kind of money...lol.

Is it just me, though, or does anyone find it so surreal that it is creepy. It just creeps me out. It is like nothing is real, sort of like Disney World. I would half expect the Stepford Wives to be milling about or those guys from the matrix. There is no history to the place. It is so artificial.

interesting from a novelty standpoint but not all that impressive.
