Crazy Arabs

If you had loads of surplus money, where would you put it? In a passion, hobby, charity or maybe all of these. It would probably say something about you and reflect the socio-cultural milieu you live in. In the UAE, nationals who have the money don’t put it in art or collectibles. Once they are done buying cars and yachts, camels and horses, they put it in number plates. The craze here, believe it or not, is number plates. Auctions are held and the bidding is fierce. Last week the number plate 59 went for 2.4 million dirhams. Crazy!
