I'm one of the lucky ones.

I've seen articles about the 130 story buildings, and the artificial island condo resorts, but I didn't know the toll it is taking on the workers. Unfortunately, you have similar conditions in Saudi Arabia where imported Palestinian workers slave away for the Saudi citizens. Holy crap!

Judging by the way in which Dubai grows one would think they pay their construction workers a decent rate. They would certainly make enough. I’m shocked to hear this is happening.

Of course, the extraordinary wealth of Dubai makes the phenomenon even more egregious.

Pay bad for even highly skilled workers from East Europe. A lot of Romanian engineers, doctors and professors work in West Europe for only 500 Euro per month.

As someone who lives in Japan, it's amazing how much poverty is just over *there*... right in our very neighborhood (within Asia). Hell… that’s simply awful.
