Dubai - work around the clock

I woke up at 3 am Dubai time. There is a time difference of 4 hours, so it is 7 a.m. in Singapore.

I went to the hotel lobby to access the wireless internet. I was surprised to find that the lobby was brightly lighted and that several people were busy with work. It seems to be in the evening hours, rather than the early morning. Dubai never sleeps!

In my hotel, there were many workers from mainland China providing front line service. They speak English well. Previously, these jobs were filled by workers from India or the Philippines.
