Just so ya know..

Unlike Emirates pilots who I suppose would just flake a few diamonds off their jewel-encrusted hats (that they never take off) should they elect to forgo irrevocably their room in the company palace.
As well in Canada, wood is viewed as a superb construction material. Strong, inexpensive, easy to work with and available in abundance. Alas, it is flammable and would likely be less suitable for use in a desert climate, where it would have to be imported anyhow. Houses are constructed from pure gold ingots, as are the streets I imagine, in an oasis like Dubai. I dunno, never been. Will go one day if I can scratch up enough pennies, by the grace of my royal overlord the Queen of England.
I mean, I literally just laughed out loud from reading this gem.
