The Burj Opening


Tonight is going to be one of the most exciting nights Dubai has ever seen. The Burj Dubai officially opens- the world's tallest building. If we reflect back to the opening of Atlantis that I may have forced some of you to watch, the opening show cost a mere $32 million. Tonight is going to be bigger. Tonight is going to be better. And we are 10 blocks away from the building.
I am pumped.
They also have a fountain in front like the Bellagio fountain in Vegas that shoots water up in time to the music. Apparently they have coordinated the lights on the Burj to play to the music too.
Our roof is flat so I think we are going to camp out up here and chill and watch the millions of dollars in fireworks they have flushed into this project. If you get bored tomorrow, Google the opening show. I'm sure it will be all over the news.

This place has way too much money.


This is it in all its glory. It is so big you can't even take the whole building in one frame. My camera also sucks at taking night shots. Or I suck at taking night shots. Probably the latter...

For more information, it is on the BBC homepage today:
