I’m going to Jakarta & Bali over a two week period in May for my brother’s wedding (and then vacation while I’m there). I have the option of scheduling my return flight so I have a 16 hour layover in Dubai on the way back. I was wondering whether I should take the layover and try to squeeze in a day of sight seeing or just use that extra time in Bali. Thoughts?
If your into big building, a fish aqurium with 30, 000 fish, basiclly anything oversized, check out dubai… Its not a place worth spending days in, but def worth to look at
Worse than Lebanon then…? 
I’m looking at a beach holiday in Dubai next month. People seem to be quite polarised about it. Indoor ski centre, sand buggies, beach, russian ho’s, shopping, heat, beaches, banging parties, grand prix, horse racing, half built glitz, death penalty for public display’s of affection, bottled oil. Bring it on.
"Worse than Lebanon then…? " You would me a million times happier apon landing in Dubai… But once you start spending much time there you realise you have no freedoms and that gets anoying. For me that was four days. My country has a million cons, but here you are free to do whatever you want. Sometimes way too free, ie mostly no speed limits, almost no trouble for fighting, public drunkness…

lebanon, you would have a blast if you have money
Ahmadmadoff, don’t mess with me here, so seriously, no speed limits? And could you elaborate on the no penalties for getting drunk and disorderly as well as fighting please? Because I will seriously go.
the first rule of lebanon: there is no lebanon
No speed limits in a destination where you could probably BS your way into some princes Veyron or McLaren F1. Black Swan, GO!
recently we got speed radars, about 10 in the country fine is 30$, no record of your driving so if you can pay 30$ drive at 400 km/hr any time you want if you kill someone in a car accident, you pay 15, 000,000,000 LBP, about 10,000 $ and that settles it no matter how fast you were driving or if you were even drunk. plus if you are from “better” country it is very unlikely that you would ever be touched unless you murdered someone and put it on youtube. Say an Indian would get beat everyday for a month for looking at a cop, an Italian would beat up a cop and walk away. It all goes back to how feared your country and embassy are.
^ I like Lebanon. Now I understand why my Lebanese friends used to party like there’s no tomorrow.
When you see Dubai, you’ll hate where you live, no matter where you live. Fact.

I agree with marcus… I thought Dubai was heaven when I was there for four days. But my friends who lived there explained to me that that would only last a couple of weeks. After your done seeing the buildings, car, fishes, malls, etc… No SOUL
Well it is practically a slave state.
see the trick is to take your soul there with you.

Ahmadmadoff, Just before I buy tickets, would you please share with us the list of countries which are considered “better than Lebanon”, or which embassies are “feared”?
Why was Ahmadmadoff killed?
