Made it to Dubai on Friday - safe and sound - and went and checked out the world's tallest building in Dubai (The Burj Kalifa) yesterday. Here is a short video I shot. 2,717 feet.

That bulding is amazing. I like this picture of it,I wouldn't fancy being the crane driver.  On a lighter note,,,,I hear the government over there have banned The Flintstones film,,,,,,They say that people in Dubai wouldn't understand the film but those in Abu Dhabi do.  Pitbull |

Maybe I don't pay close enough attention  but... Dubai? Do you regularly stop over there, or are you working there now? How about the inside ski slope there? -Mike |

That is the Dubai Mall that you see on the left as the first guy dives and both landed in the courtyard in front of the mall.
Amazing - not very big where they landed.
