The gusher of oil money flooding into the Middle East has created an equally gigantic problem .... how to spend it? In the United Arab Emirates, the city of Dubai has found a number of novel ways to piss away this largess ... an edifice complex. Here are some notable examples:
 |
| World's Largest Aquarium |
 |
| Artifical Islands |
 |
| Crescent Building |
 |
| Indoor Ski Slope |
 |
| World's Tallest Building |
 |
| Underwater Hotel |
There are dozens more examples of such eccentric (can I say tasteless?) extravagance. I wonder what will happen to these structures in the not too distant future once this supply of petroleum pelf dries up?
