What's with all the hate for Dubai? It's not like Shanghai, or New York were beacons of virtue and great places to visit when they were being built on slave labor.

Anyone who doubt about it, should make some research about tourism in Dubai. It remains what it si, a vain attempt to make something of nothing, in the middle of nowhere

definitely good time to start this flight!

Asshole should've just been sentenced for 20 years in a Chinese prison cell then directly deport his ass back inside California's San Quentin Correctional Facility and sentence him to another 40 years.

He looks Aryan to me.

He should have gotten a firing squad sentence like everyone else in China who deals drugs of that amount. Why waste money on a prison cell. What a disgrace to Americans.

drugdealing, arson, faked papers and known terrorist associations. Seems like a swell guy.
