Starting the new year .

I’ve not posted since  before the new year, I’ve had these photos sent to me from my son in Dubai, where the worlds tallest building opened recently.
According to one article I read over Christmas Dubai is the Las Vegas of the middle East.  It’s definitely a place that buzzes with life but in my honest opinion the recession has had a powerful impact there like everywhere else.  I’m told the number of tourists has dropped and many ex pats are returning home due to the recession.
