The show and show off

There are too many companies participated in Big Five but apparently not so many business around the fair as it was supposed to be! The world wide crisis affected the business in Dubai and a drop of 50 percent on value of the houses, create problem for the people who invested in construction business with the hope of a sharp increase and got some loans!
There are some families that bought a flat in Dubai to enjoy of their vacation in Emirate and obtain the residency in order to facilitate their trips to other countries ! And now the Emirate government changed the rules!! I believe that within next months the situation would be worse than now, if we consider that day by day the oil price is going down as well! It means less business from Arab states to Dubai!
Anyway, for my own business I had some meeting with my Italian clients who were supposed to come to Iran after the show, and they canceled their trip up to spring time! It's so clear why! Although I received some calls from those who didn't come to Big Five and business is almost acceptable up to spring tome!
The owner of an Omani marble factory who was wishing having a Lebanese meal encouraged Andrea to look for a Lebanese restaurant to be not far from the Fair and he recalled the one in Emirate Mall where is Ski Dubai!




It claimed to be the biggest indoor ski resort all over the world buy in any case it is artificial and seems to be a show off as you can see all around this show off!



On the way back to the fair an incredible traffic jam showed another face of the Town and later on when the time of the fair was over, fights of the crowd to catch a taxi, greedy drivers who were asking more than 2/3 time for a normal route, streets full of the car and some other non pleasant scenery were not match the show off!
