Falcon City

Psst, buddy!

You want to live in a city shaped like a falcon, which features replicas of the Eiffel Tower, the Great Pyramids, the Taj Mahal, and other wonders.

No, I’m not talking about Las Vegas.

I’m talking about that place that’s even more over-the-top.  You know, Dubai.

Lots of pictures are available at the Falcon City website.   I don’t know whether to be amused, disturbed, or needing to contact a real estate agent.  (I promised my wife that our next move would be to someplace warmer.  Dubai’s warmer than Connecticut.)

At the very least, it makes for good surfing, once you get tired of all the political fuss.

(Hat-tip to Treehugger, both for the link and the memorable post title “Dubai Jumps the Shark”.)
