We visited Dubai two weeks ago and finally got a good look at the city. It's an amazing place in that it seems to appear that over 65% of the tall buildings are still under construction. There's so much development that driving is always adventurous to drivers who say that sporadic street openings, closures and detours are very common.
Here is a photo of the tallest building in the world under construction. How would you like to be the crane operator of this one. If you notice the base of the crane, it doesn't dare to touch the ground and instead rests on a small perch.

Very cool. One of my dreams is to visit Dubai because of it's architecture. I hear they are constructing a building that has floors/segments that rotate independently of each other. Is that true? Did you see it?
