Lakes and Springs finally a reality

They spend weeks moaning about their swimming pools being closed, and the minute a beautiful, natural lake arrives right on their doorstep, New Dubaians still can't stop whingeing:

Dubai: Residents of some of Dubai's newest developments reacted angrily after their homes were flooded following yesterday's heavy downpour.

Some people are just never satisfied. They should be thankful that Emaar isn't charging extra for the privilege of having this lovely water feature.

Outside Cell Block G the rain-lake is so extensive that windsurfing and other water sports are taking place, with one resident catching a 25lb turbot earlier in the day.

Isn't it nice to hear from people who spend > half a mil. dhs on a house to find themselves teleported to Venice for a day. And even those buckets in the mall, what a sight to behold!
Truly a minor inconvenience, as said above.

balushi: what goes on in your head is just astonishing. Apart from all the marriage guidance stuff, though, would you not agree that when you pay a ton of money to rent or buy a new property, you do have a right to expect that it would be waterproof?

it's quite sweet and ironic that justice has to come from above.. first the pools are closed then they drive through a pool to get home :)

hope it's fixed though.
