005_history is rising


This is the Burj Dubai, a tower planned to be the tallest in the world when finish. (do not get confused with Burj Al Arab, which is a hotel) Drive pass the construction site and you will see a billboard saying, “History is rising at __ storeys”. The number in the blank space changes every time the construction hits a new floor level. By the time this photo was taken it was at the 83rd floor. That was only about half way to the final height. Compare with neighbouring towers to see how monstrous it is growing to be. By the way, I’ve been told that in the next 10 years, more than half of top 10 tallest buildings in the world will be in Dubai. Madness… These people are filthy rich, aren’t they?
