Dubai is the Tetsuo of cities, expanding so fast it’s on the verge of creating of its own universe. And architecture that looks like it’s from the 22nd century only adds to the sheer grandeur of its growth—this bridge, envisioned by NY architecture firm Fxfowle, will be the largest and tallest arch bridge in the world, at one mile long and 670 feet tall. Construction starts next month and is due to wrap up in 2012 after running some $817 million dollars. World’s first vacuum tube mass transit system will launch in Dubai shortly thereafter.

Americans in general, have a hard time figuring out where the terrorists are, so we pretty much bombed every Middle Eastern country in the last few decades.
This picture describes it best.

the wind up there would make it absolutely impossible to play. I’m sure the people that thought of this are the same people that put basketball courts on cruise ships… don’t work so well

Well they did make an artificial island in shape of a palm tree and a ski resort in a dessert. (Sp?)
It’s hard to keep coming up with crazy stuff.
That hotel, IIRC is the only hotel to get 6 starts on a 5 star point scale :confused

who rated it, fellow Dubaians? Thats just as lame as people having above a 4.0 GPA in school. A scale is made for a reason, there is a limit, do not go above it!
