Story Weirdest place I’ve ever been to

[lastappleonearth]

I visited the UAE a couple of years ago and it was surreal to say the least. I'd never go there again, but it was an interesting experience. A lot of people probably alr know this, but the cities in the UAE are basically just a shiny facade for a pretty dark system, based on exploitation. Though even the shiny facade is kind of a farce, we were lead around by a German architect working there and he pointed out, how the construction quality on most buildings is extremely low and it's no surprise this high rise in the Dubai Marina burnt down recently. Anyway, here are some pics. Btw there was a mall with a papa johns under the giant marble mosque

German architect...my main man...we Germans again. The best quality in the world. Jk. We have become garbage producers too.

Nice pics but be aware of meta-data. And yes the human right violations in these countries go through the roof. Never been there. Never will.
