Ahh....astonishing isnt it?...Not just the tower....but also pace it is getting built with....dubai is going crazy..(compare the sheikh zayed rd. in 2003 and 2005)..Reminds me of those early ages where kings used to hire craftsmen and labourers to build monuments.....Something like the pyramids or the Taj Mahal.....:).....pretty much of a similar thing is happening in dubai.....a great king (a.k.a sheikh) importing thousands of labourers from india, pakistan and bangladesh and stuffing them in inhuman labour camps (conditions back home arent too great either...) to build a monument (The world's tallest tower) which the world will watch with their mouths wide-open......
No matter what happens ....the dubai bubble bursts or not.....Shaikh Mohammed and dubai will always be remembered for the audacious projects......Dubai is definitely one place where you think to dare and not dare to think...
Hope the shaikh does something about the labour camps....

Hey Glenn Danthi,
I really have no words!!!
These pictures are awesome!!!
It is hard to realize that some years ago there was nothing on the place where the most highest building is situated.
I am really astonished. Dubai is the city of wonders, Dubai property the most unique properties in the world.
This city came from no were to be one of the most important cities in the word. Dubai has many projects that seem unreal, but they made it real.
