Very well crafted piece, Johann. You've dug out quite some dirt from below the soft, golden cushion. Being an Indian and having spent about three weeks in this city, I've figured out quite some facts to be true, as pointed out quite aptly by you. But I feel in the end, it's a decision an individual takes. I wanted money, I am here to make money and go back home one fine day. Others who come here without proper contacts or information, or the uneducated worker class are exploited, and it is quite heartening, but there isn't much you can do. It's not in your hands because they have strict rules and its not a democracy. And this economic divide has been present since ages, it is nothing new. The poor work, the rich make money. The pyramids then, the Burj Khalifa now.. same story, different eras.
