    What the ****, you've never been then to say that, or you must have acted like one hell of a **** to entice them into anything. I've been already and the experience was fantastic. Obviously, if you're living in some slum area in some slum hotel then you can expect a **** experience, but I don't know where you got that feeling from.

    mate he does have a point, there are loads of migrant workers who live in slums and paid a pittance, it happens everywhere in one way or another... surely you must feel bad for them

    Never been there myself but I think he does have a point. Loads of stories of south Asians and Fillipinos being treated in a disgusting way, but I'm talking about workers, so I'm not sure about the tourist experience.

    As shite as it is, it's still better than where they are from.

    Dubai, get caught with a cannabis crum on the bottom of your shoe, spend 10 years in prison... lovely place.

    I've heard this stuff before. While that may be true, the tourist experience was certainly a good one for me, and many who I've known and have been have always said it's been a great experience.

    you do the crime expect to do the time

    Dubai is good but not great. I like it as a nice relaxing holiday but there is no culture over there

    i dont think Alexander is a threat to khan. he doesnt have the style to rough house khan or the skill to hold him off. Good fight for khan. It'll be a nice win

    dont understand this. a law is a law. just coz it sounds ridiculous compared to the laws here doesn't mean you don't respect the laws of the land. you know the score when you go there.

    laz to be fair mate arab countries do NOT like our kind. As a tourist and with a british passport they're fine and in khans case too coz there's a lot of money at stake. But inherently speaking it's definitely true

    Even though the laws in Dubai are ****ing pathetic I can appreciate if you knowingly break their laws you have to suffer the consequences, but if you're mum unknowingly stood on some cannabis that isn't even visible to the human eye and got 4 years for it, are you saying that you would agree with that outcome? If so, you're a piece of ****.

    As for the fight though, I think it'll be a good one. Would of went with a Khan UD a year back without hesitation, not so sure after his last couple of performances though.
