RE: Burj Khalifa(Dubai), we climbed to the roof of the world

Yeah, I know but I mean the whole region of the Persian Gulf. Most of those extremely rich countries got rich only because of the oil. No skills, no advanced civilizations, just lucky oil dollars and now they ostentatiously show their wealth . Some of the world´s most opulent structures, luxury ski resorts in the desert, gold decoration everywhere. Not my style. But I don´t judge anyone, I can imagine some people love these places :)

Have a nice weekend my friend!

Yes, we should not judge anyone, but the power of oil has split the world in two, at least that's what I saw on the spot.
There were a lot of rich people, but there was also that part of Dubai where every citizen works from morning till night to earn a living.

I was so financially so small compared to many other people around me that I was almost ashamed to say a word but in the end the experience in Dubai was amazing.

Have a wonderful weekend my friend!

Yes, I know about the extreme contrast between the rich and the poor in this region. You might have heard, for example, about the shocking conditions in which the lavish super modern stadiums were built for the Qatar World Cup in 2022. Absolutely horrible.

Unfortunately, the rich people of the world run the world the way they want, the same happens in smaller countries, and in my city the rich people run the city, they put in political positions the people they like and there are many things to talk about, I am afraid to talk about it.

Yeah, I know, we already talked about it. It sounds both sad and scary :/
