The elegancy seems quite glamorous, luxurious, and fashionable. I would greatly love to travel there and savour the moment. However, it is quite a shock that Dubai has one of the world's worst air pollution and toxicity levels; even though it may not seem like it; and that it is, accordingly, running on debt. It is overrated indeed, but since I love architecture and high-tech buildings, I can disregard - if not ignore - all warnings of expensiveness and misconduct one might encounter in Dubai, and venture into foreign land. After all, sacrifices have to be made for the greater good of humanity.

No, it's were western women get drunk and crazy and sleep with men they meet at the bar who are as drunk as they are. with consent of course. and then wake up the next day trying to blame the guy and call it a rape. And then Dubai police goes like: No bitch, you were both drunk and asking for troubles so both of you will get a jail time and let's make this a lesson for you so you drink responsibly next time. End of story.
