ON TOP OF THE BURJ DUBAI: YEAH, NO THANKS. I’LL PASS.

So the Burj Dubai is the new tallest building in the world, it’s 160+ stories, and good lord that video is going to give me nightmares. When the station was in downtown Boston, we worked in the Pru, and I avoided all opportunities presented to me to go on top of that sucker, and that’s only 50 or so stories tall. It just freaked me out. I’ve never been all that good with heights, and this thing, while awesome, scares the living crap out of me. It doesn’t even look real. That first video is straight nightmare fuel.
(By the way, I don’t think I’d ever want to live in Dubai. I know it’s some sort of booming super city with all this crazy architecture and stuff; but really, dude: the desert is still the desert.)
