    My dad has been to Dubai a few times. He has brought back pictures, Dubai owns NYC. They are so wealthy off their oil its not even funny. If you guys have never seen Dubai, pull up google images, you'll be blown away. Their towers are simply amazing. They have those islands....holy shyt, they made one of the world, you can go to each one and it will be like the real place[​IMG]Theres another shot Blaze, thats so tall, idk if I would have the balls to go up there

    Yeah it's incredible how much taller it is then the next highest building, 2,300 ft. is just insane. The view from up there must be amazing.It's that oil, there's plenty of money to go around over there.

    Dubai is not wealthy...they have a lot of poor there, what you see is the fancy western style buildings they are building now. Dubai is a city for rich westerners and thats why it looks so fancy but you never see the <Censored> poor outskirts of the city. I don't care for the building, it's a tiny toothpick which is <Censored>, make it a building like the WTC or something where it's not all style.[​IMG]

    Why? All style is what we want to see, not rectangles. It's an amazing piece of architectural design, I like the look of it a lot.

    Imagine having to be the guy who has to climb up to the top to change the light bulb.

    Imagine being the guy securing the antennae while it's just a steel frame. It must be ridiculous up there, I'd be scared ****less.

    How is Dubai not wealthy? They build some amazing things there.Check this out, Lazy referred to it:[​IMG]<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>The World Islands are a collection of man-made islands shaped into the continents of the world, located off the coast of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. It will consist of 300 small private artificial islands divided into four categories - private homes, estate homes, dream resorts, and community islands. Each island will range from 250,000 to 900,000 square feet (23,226 to 83,613 square meters) in size, with 50 to 100 metres (164 to 328 feet) of water between each island. It will cover a total area of 9 kilometers (5.4 miles) in length and 6 kilometers (3.6 miles) in width, surrounded by an oval shaped breakwater. The only means of transportation between the islands will be by marine or air transport.The World Islands will be located 4 kilometers off the shore of Jumeirah, close to the Palm Jumeirah, between Burj Al Arab and Port Rashid. Each island will be sold to selected private developers and are expected to have pricing beginning at AED 25 million (US$ 6.85 million), for the AED 6.6 billion (US$ 1.8 billion) project.</div>That's awesome.

    Those islands are awesome. They have quite a few more. Ive seen the ones in the shape of the plam tree. Those are pretty spectacular also. My dad told me about them, he asid their pretty much like a real city. They have just about every thing a real city has....hotles, resturants, police stations, fire departments, the whole works. Now bcb you cant disagree that they dont have money now sucker
