How could I avoid to show on the first post the tallest building in the World transcribing the audacious endless limit of Dubai Empire?
In My desert, we cannot rely on history, culture or tradition.
However, we're building the City together by mixing anyone and everyone from the World. The result is the biggest Hub for intercultural relations. We are every single day in contact with people from so various places that it feels like Dubai is the reverse story of the Tower of Babel. We don't understand each other, simply we learn to understand each other by growing together and by aiming to accomplish any type of achievements, as the symbolic Burj Khalifa for example.
From some basic assumptions, few people would think only how fake Dubai can be. Unfortunately, most of the time, the media will introduce this region as it appears to be, not as it really is. To better understand what this place means, you have to come here and discover how this Fake Empire works. So many people will never try to experience the journey, but so you should do. Come and see how we do live in a place where every step has to be created by us.
Yes, indeed, there is Life here. Almost two years of mine at least, and certainly more to come...
... in My Fake Empire
I cannot forget that I was listening to the song by the National (Video: Live at Terminal 5, New York) when I landed for the first time in Dubai. It expresses a feeling that I have acquired not so longer after my arrival.
Yes, we're half-awake in the middle of this huge Hub, but we still do our small little things like spending time with friends, enjoying good food, working hard, partying, resting, going to the beach... in a word like thousand, we do live in the City of Life where all our dreams can be true, where we can feel at home far away from Ours...
Faithfully yours,
Vahe (Dubai, July 2011)
