** I apologise to everyone trying to watch the video I posted here yesterday – I didn’t know the owner suddenly disabled public viewing. Here’s another video, still queasy! **
For those not in Dubai – that means, MOST of the readers in my blog: here’s a video taken from the top of the world’s tallest tower, the Burj Dubai standing at more than 800 meters above the ground.
The Burj Dubai is set to open for the public tomorrow, January 4th, timed to coincide with the celebrations of the fourth anniversary of Shaikh Mohammad’s accession as Ruler of Dubai in 2006. There will be a grandiose fireworks display tomorrow. I hope to be there!!
Meanwhile, back to the vid, I don’t know if I can stomach standing on top of that skyscraper without getting sick (I don’t like heights) so this is as close as I can imagine of how the world down looks like.
All together now: Queasy!!

I couldn’t watch, but I’m posting a hello! I hate heights and get very ill at the mere thought.

Aw, the video is not working 😦
I’m with you-I probably would get vertigo just being up there >.<

I guess someone didn’t want us watching. It’s been marked as “private” on youtube.
As for heights, if I scream I tend to feel better about them. LOL
I’m sorry for that! It was available for public viewing yesterday so the owner must have changed his mind and made the private setting…I’ve replaced it with another video..not that you are obligated to see it. 🙂
BTW, I’ll take the advice on the screaming part…

Ugh. I think I almost threw up. That view is just WRONG! No building needs to be that high!

Wow…it makes me sick just watching the video…it’s too high! I get a tingling sensation in my feet just looking at the video! Ah well, I hope the Burj is able to get Dubai out of their financial mess!

I did watch the whole thing through partly closed eyes… 🙂
Like I said before… if I ever make it to Dubai, I would HAVE to go to the top!
If I fly half-way around the world, I’d have to go up to the top of the highest building in the world, I’d look over, then throw-up! 🙂

What a beautiful building and view, you can see for miles! They have certainly outdone themselves. I don’t like heights either, but one day I will go to there and hopefully stand at the top, that will help me get over heights! LOL. Congrats to the UAE
