Notes Of Amazing ness!

• Sheikh Mohammed is one of the richest people on
  earth! 300 billion worth of projects At 58 years
  old, he is one of the richest people in the
  world, a member of the Maktoum family which has
  ruled here for nearly two centuries. He is a
  former air force pilot and an avid horseman who
  competes in grueling cross country endurance
  races and is one of the largest breeders of
  thoroughbred race horses in the world. Dubai only
  had 60 miles of coastline and so ordered Sultan
  Bin Sulayem to create more. Business consultants
  told him the project was unfeasible, but with no
  environmental regulations to stop him, Sultan
  began dredging a hundred million cubic yards of
  sand from the Persian Gulf, along with seven
  million tons of rock to form a man-made Island in
  the shape of a palm. It more the doubled the
  coastline of Dubai, and created waterfront condos
  and homes for 150,000 people, not including 35
  hotels. Three more off-shore developments are
  underway, including a chain of 300 man-made
  islands, some of which will be private. They are
  shaped and situated to resemble a map of the
  world, which is what the project is called.

More Notes!

• The people love the idea! They enjoy one of the
  highest standards of living in the world with
  free healthcare and college tuition and no taxes.
  European, Indian, Russians, Iranian, and Saudi
  -- and they are coming at the rate of 25,000 per
  month. They are developers, architects, middle
  managers, domestics and busboys, all united by a
  common goal to make money. Five years from now
  you're going to see towers on your right, towers
  on your left. You're going to see a
  kilometer-and-a-half garden where you can
  exercise. And if you're bored of that, you can go
  underneath it for a kilo-and-a-half shopping
  mall," Bin Sulaiman explains.
• "Kilo and a half, that's more than a mile?"Yes.
  And it is not the largest shopping center in the
  world. Because that's next door!
