LOUISE VAN DEN DOOL in Dubai
South Africa is a great place and it will always be my home but Dubai is out of this world they are making the impossible possible. They will have the two tallest buildings in the world and the tallest hotel in the world and who would have thought of creating islands in the sea in the shape of a Palm let alone in the shape of the world. The infrastructure and development will blow you away. Social life is n ...
