The SIN and HKG of 20 years ago perhaps. Right now that’s about all the modern day traveller sees. Shopping malls. And if they haven’t had enough of that they can experience their final fix at the big shopping mall, with an airport attached.
Along with that other excrescence. DXB. One big lala land. And they’re about to discover how vacuous and hollow basing ones’ entire economy on that is. Bit like relying on mainland spending power to bail you out of the sh@t.
