This building I'm obsessed with is the Burj Dubai, the world's tallest building that just opened in Dubai. I have as my desktop picture, I constantly show any new picture I find, and wishfully plan a trip to visit one day.
Anyhow the Burj Dubai is much taller than all those structures. By a lot:
Back from vacation I missed this video of the grand opening that took place on New Years. Oh this happened today (er yesterday our time) Here is the full 6 minute opening celebration/fireworks below. The long shot of the building exploding in fireworks would have been amazing to see in person. I especially love the blasts shooting out the very top from some sort of rotating cannon.
i'm totally freaked out by heights. the mere thought of taking an elevator to the top of this building makes me want to throw up. i will live vicariously through you when you go there. that will be more than enough for me.
