Dubai
Dubai is a city in United Arab Emirates. This is what Dubai looked like in 1990. My cousin was born the same year.
This is Dubai in 2003. My cousin’s 1st year in middle school. Kinda looks like Tokyo.
This is what Dubai will look like around 2010. If she wishes, my cousin will be going to college then.
You can view here many of Dubai’s architectural majesty, including the tallest building in the making (Al Burj, which will be 3 times the Empire State Building), first underwater hotel (shown below),
world’s largest amusement park, world’s tallest hotel, largest artificial man made islands, largest indoor skiing facility, world’s largest shopping mall and if approved, world’s first Space Port.
I remember drawing space stations in elementary school art class as “your image of the future”. To be able to visit a city looking much like the paintings that decorated my 3rd grade class room wall is astonishing. (Click here for flight infos!)
There is now a slight chance that I will spend time in Dubai, much as I did in Tokyo in 2005 and Chile currently. I am excited! What a wonderful city!

I remember when The Amazing Race visited the city in Season 5. That underwater hotel looks really cool, too!

My ex-boss is there now. He says it’s hot. Heh.
