I'm from Brazil and in all of this stuff about world-wide crisis I haven't heard about it has been faced in middle-east countries, in my opinion this crisis didn't affect these people's life, in dubai, for example... but has anyone something to tell about it?



texklaus, whose family life are you asking about? yes, the crisis is affecting Dubai mostly in the real-estate sector, it is more difficult for developers to sell off the buildings they constructed...
there are some people affected, especially those working in Advertising and PR (of the people I know), Recruiting staff is also not very happy these days.
things are fine in Dubai, and the UAE, we were assured by His Highness Sheikh Mo a couple of days ago (it's rare that he speaks out like this,but having in mind the barrage of journalistic vitriole that came from the UK and other media, i guess it was the right thing for him to do)
