First of all, "thanks" secretdubai for the invite. I've been blogging over the past few months about the Dubai Marina--specifically about one of those new high-rise towers. Here's my plug... MAG 218 Community. It's a site for anyone who's already bought or interested in getting a flat in that tower. But it isn't just about that. There's a lot of info relevant to the Dubai Marina and property ownership in Dubai in general. So, I hope any property buyers or those interested in the subject check it out.
Dubai is so much in the news these days, and deservedly so. Here's a great link to a special feature about Dubai in the New Yorker Magazine. (You'll need a Flash player plug-in in your brower to view it.) Check it out.
BTW... my Webmaster moniker is the ID I use with the MAG 218 site. I'm not the master of this website! Cheers.

I met the guy that wrote that article, but I can't get a copy of it. A friend may be bringing one over from Canada, in which case I'll scan (and maybe transcribe) it - at least anything juicy that relates to internet/censorship/hot gossip ;)
So you met the writer of the article. Can you give us a little background? It would be interesting to know about his personal impressions of Dubai. Was it his first time here?
He had no preconceived notions - he seemed to come here with a really open mind. I can't really tell until I see the article what he thought, but the usual things - massive construction etc - obviously caused an impression. I think it was his first time here.
