What is your opinion on this?

Dubai seems to be exploding with new buildings. I think the Burj Dubai is absolutely stunning, along with the "Jewel of Dubai" and a few other surprises....

Oh man I am still blown away by the Burj Dubai. That hotel is absolutely amazing. Those man made island things are also very cool. Just overall, Dubia definitly is impressing me.

Look at the rotating city!

Wow! Everything turns, and there are floating villas that actually rise up a tower and allow you to turn any direction from any height!

I've been following that Burj Dubai since it was announced. It sure is stunning, just like the rest of Dubai. More than the half of all cranes used for skyscrapers are stuck in Dubai now, that's ridiculous.

They have a frigging indoor ski in the hottest place on earth.

I just got an email from my sister today... after reading this yesterday. About how stupid we are in the US for paying $3 a gallon for gas... and for what... So they can ski in the hotest place in the world! haha...

But, i still think Dubai is such a cool, innovative place. Would love to visit to see the buildings. Love the idea for the rotating towers!
