The more avid readers among you may have noticed that Hal’s posts have disappeared. It would appear that he was too honest for his own good, and he has chosen to self-censor rather than offend those who inspired him. We’ll all have to look forward to the book.

If Walt Disney were alive today, he’d build a brothel there (we’ve had numerous visitors stumble upon this very site searching for prostitutes in Dubai). Home of the new New Urbanism, and the biggest bowl of spaghetti, Dubai is where the end begins.
