Last I was in Dubai the massage was complimentary at the airport hotel, £85 if I recall for the night. Almost half the LHR sheethole.

Dubai is super rich and it's whole territory size is 4,114 km2 (1,588 sq mi).Originally posted by scooterscot View PostLast I was in Dubai the massage was complimentary at the airport hotel, £85 if I recall for the night. Almost half the LHR sheethole.
That's just 3 times more than London (1,570 km2 (607 sq mi)).
That and their wealth paid every time we refuel our cars make it easy to have good hotels near airports.Comment

I worked in Montreal and loved it.
Would go back in a flash.
Google Wandas Montreal.
Used to drink in McKibben's and Curley's Irish pubs.
Great gardens and parks around the city.
The best bit is the tunnel network you can use when the snow comes down; -seriously.
Never had a problem with the 'language police' unlike the local businesses.
One guy in a pub once pulled me up for speaking English in Quebec so I explained that I came from Northern Ireland and didn't often get the chance to practise my schoolboy french. He wasn't having it so I asked ( in the relevent languages) if he spoke Irish, German, Japanese. I think I upset him when I asked him "tlhIngan Hol Dajatlh’a’" so we resorted to fisticuffs.
There are still great British remnants of Empire around the city.
I tend to walk around cities when I'm working away from home and walked all over Montreal. I remember walking down one street and suddenly found myself in as close a reproduction of Horseguards Parade as I've seen anywhere.
The Old town is great. Stash Cafe Polish restaurant, the Keg steaks.
I was surprised by the number of surprisling young beggars though.
