Such things are total no-brainers, right? Who wants to pay a fortune to stay in an artificial environment like this unless you don't have a choice? The moment the airconditioning stops running, you're in deep shit!
But then, what's the point of me talking after the fact? Anyone can boast about wisdom based on hindsight! I have therefore decided to demonstrate to you, ladies and gentlemen, that my ability to look into the future of a country like Dubai was not just a fluke. I will now attempt to make a few predictions of events that I see happening in the next five years! If what I say comes to pass, you will return on Christmas Day 2014 and declare me a genius. Deal? Now gaze deeply into my crystal ball!
Prediction 1: US troops will leave the Middle East for good. In fact, many of the American military bases overseas will be vacated and closed down.
Prediction 2: The US dollar will go down much further against the Yen and Euro. According to the BBC, 1 US dollar today is worth 0.6936 Euros and 91.185 Yen.
Prediction 3: Gold will continue to go up and up. Again, from the BBC website, gold is currently worth US$1104 an ounce.
Prediction 4: The world will NOT end in 2012!!!
Prediction 5: BN will lose big in the next general election. They will no longer form the Federal government.
Further into the future, I foresee Brunei joining Malaysia once the oil runs out. Remember, you heard it here first! :)
