Monday 14th declared holiday thanks to Bush

Postby root on Sun Jan 13, 2008 5:01 pm

At least something good comes out of Bush's visit to UAE.
The government has just announced (atleast rumoured so) that monday 14th is a public holiday.

Apparently a lot people had a hard time getting to work today due to the security cordoning off.

Tomorrow it is rumoured that SZR is closed from 06:30 AM onwards for the whole day.

What does this cost the economy of Dubai?

Why could'nt they just take him on a helicopter to the Burj or one of the World Islands and boat from there. Could have been good sightseeing for him as well!
