Get ua mouse ready,
Wondering what this is? Well, If the Sheik of Arab gets to do his say and the world continues to use Oil, this is how Dubai would look like in the soon arriving future.
This is a simulation of the proposed "Downtown Dubai", another engineering masterpiece only dubai can afford. Just hover over it and click on different parts to see the details. (i worked a lot to make this animation, from the original site, work on the blog post).
Now, just look at that thing in the center of the animation. Tall? I bet my ass it is. Not eeny-weeny tall. Son of a gun, it is 818 m tall.Yea, just a few feet from a kilometer; and what's it called? Nothing fancy, just some old fashioned arabic name, BURJ DUBAI.But check it out people, its beyond any fashion, beyond comprehension, beyond beauty, I think its the sexiest ever structure a human can make, except girls yeah!
Some quick facts

- Worlds fastest elevators at speed of 64 km/h (40 mph) or 18 m/s (59 ft/s) (previously Taipei 101 – 16.83 m/s)
- Highest vertical concrete pumping (for a building): 601 m (1,972 ft) (previously Taipei 101 - 449.2 m (1,474 ft))

What is it for? Never mind, 30,000 homes, nine hotels such as the Burj Dubai Lake Hotel & Serviced Apartments, 3 hectares (7.4 acres) of parkland, at least 19 residential towers, the Dubai Mall, and the 12-hectare (30-acre) man-made Burj Dubai Lake. So I can stay, dine, shop, find girls, have sex, swim and sun-bath and park your car, as if you need to!! I wonder, would there be any need to go out of it!!
