Today, I'm going to talk about some stuff about Dubai. Haha...I know it's so random to talk about this. Seriously, one day I'm gonna make a trip to Dubai!
Dubai is just so crazy with their development. You'll see all kinds of crazy but awesome architecture over there. They are coming up day by day. This is what happens when a country have lots of money and don't have a better place to spend it.
Dubai is NUTS!
I'm going to post up some photos about Dubai...
Dubai in 1990 prior to craziness. As you can see, it's desert!
The same street in 2003. See the difference? In 13 years, so much changes can be done!
Last year. Developing fast man!
The madness. Dubai is said to currently have 15-25% of all the world's cranes. Seriously happening!
The Dubai Waterfront. When completed it will become the largest waterfront development in the world. The night lights are awesome!
All of this was built in the last 5 years, including that island that looks like a palm tree. Brilliant and creative idea!
The Palm Islands in Dubai. New Dutch dredging technology was used to create these massive man made islands. They are the largest artificial islands in the world and can be seen from space. Three of these Palms will be made with the last one being the largest of them all.
Upon completion, the resort will have 2,000 villas, 40 luxury hotels, shopping centers, movie theaters, and many other facilities. It is expected to support a population of approximately 500,000 people. It is advertised as being visible from the moon. It gonna be a city itself..ahaha!
The World Islands. 300 artificially created islands in the shape of the world. Each island will have an estimated cost of $25-30 million. Another crazy thing but who cares? They even want a 'world' for themselves.
The Burj al-Arab hotel in Dubai. The worlds tallest hotel. Considered the only '7 star' hotel and the most luxurious hotel in the world. It stands on an artificial island in the sea. It's said to cost about RM2000 per night. Damn expensive but awesome. I'm so gonna stay there one day!
Hydropolis, the world's first underwater hotel. Entirely built in Germany and then assembled in Dubai, it is scheduled to be completed by 2009 after many delays. Extreme engineering! I will also go there if possible.
The Burj Dubai. Construction began in 2005 and is expected to be complete by 2008. At an estimated height of over 800 meters, it will easily be world's tallest building when finished. It will be almost 40% taller than the the current tallest building, the Taipei 101. Wow...another skyscraper!
This is what downtown Dubai will look like around 2008-2009. More than 140 stories of the Burj Dubai have already been completed. It is already the worlds tallest man made structure and it is still not scheduled to be completed for at least another year. I think they're the richest city on earth!
The Al Burj. This will be the centerpiece of the Dubai Waterfront. Once completed it will take over the title of the tallest structure in the world from the Burj Dubai. One tower not enough? This is super tall! Another extreme!
Recently it was announced that the final height of this tower will be 1200 meters. That would make it more than 30% taller than the Burj Dubai and three times as tall as the Empire State Building. They're already the top, how high they wanna go? LOL!
The Burj al Alam, or The World Tower. Upon completion it will rank as the world's highest hotel. It is expected to be finished by 2009. At 480 meters it will only be 28 meters shorter than the Taipei 101. Again...they're the tallest! Nice building...
The Trump International Hotel & Tower, which will be the centerpiece of one of the palm islands, The Palm Jumeirah. Wow! Look at the building...extreme architecture and engineering!
Dubailand. Currently, the largest amusement park collection in the world is Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, which is also the largest single-site employer in the United states with 58,000 employees. Dubailand will be twice the size. Haha...a theme park in a desert. Don't mess!
Dubailand will be built on 3 billion square feet (107 miles² ) at an estimated $20 billion price tag. The site will include a purported 45 mega projects and 200 hundred other smaller projects. So much money but too little to spend. All money goes into this!
Currently, the Walt Disney World Resort is the #1 tourist destination in the world. Once fully completed, Dubailand will easily take over that title since it is expected to attract 200,000 visitors daily. Good idea. But well...let's see how it goes...
Dubai Sports City. A huge collection of sports arenas located in Dubailand. Dubai might be the main attraction for sports events in the world! It's a 'city' itself.
The Dubai Marina is an entirely man made development that will contain over 200 highrise buildings when finished. It will be home to some of the tallest residential structures in the world. The completed first phase of the project is shown. Most of the other high rise buildings will be finished by 2009-2010. Haha...gonna be much better than the Marina Bay in Miri eh.
Some of the tallest buildings in the world, such as Ocean Heights and The Princess Tower, which will be the largest residential building in the world at over a 100 stories, will line the Dubai Marina. Great! I wanna stay there!
The Dubai Mall will be the largest shopping mall in the world with over 9 million square feet of shopping and around 1000 stores. It will be completed in 2008. Great! Hope that there will be people to fill up the place...ahaha!
Ski Dubai, which is already open, is the largest indoor skiing facility in the world. This is a rendered image of another future indoor skiing facility that is being planned. Skiing in a desert...how cool is that? Haha!
Enjoy!
The UAE Spaceport would be the first spaceport in the world if construction ever gets under way. Haha...even US have no chance for this.
Some other other crazy shit facts...
- The Dubai Metro system, once completed, will become the largest fully automated rail system in the world.
- The Dubai World Central International Airport will become the largest airport in size when it is completed. It will also eventually become the busiest airport in the world, based on passenger volume. I'm actually wondering how many people go to Dubai everyday...
- There are more construction workers in Dubai than there are actual citizens. So yeah, it's impossible for you to find a job there.
WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON OVER THERE?
Who would thought a desert will become so advance? They're going to have the tallest, largest...and whatever the best stuff in the world! They're so rich and can do whatever they want. Civil engineers, architects, interior designers...I bet you will certainly find a job there. But yeah...be professional!
Shall we go?

In the world of comics Polianco Dè Chickens has got Dubai from year 1995.
I'm the sort of guy who loves to taste unused stuff. Presently I am manufacturing my personalized solar panels. I am managing it all alone without the aid of my men. I'm utilizing the internet as the only path to acheive this. I came across a really awesome site which explains how to create solar panels and wind generators. The internet site explains all the steps involved in constructing photovoltaic panels.
I am not really sure bout how precise the info given there iz. If some guys over here who had experience with these works can have a see and give your feedback in the site it would be awesome and I would highly appreciate it, cause I extremely like [URL=http://solar-panel-construction.com]solar panel construction[/URL].
Thanks for reading this. You people rock.
I been there several times ,its exactly as you say , you will get amazed once you go there ,
but unfortunately its such an artificial city that you cant stand more than 10-15 days ,
