My mom wants me to write about a current event in my blog, so here it goes!
Wow! The world's tallest building is going to be completed by 2009! Towering over the rest of the buildings in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, the Burj Dubai skyscraper (with it's over three thousand laborers) completed construction of it's one hundredth floor on January 16th! When finished, the Dubai tower will be over 2, 600 feet high! The tower was designed by American architect Adrian Smith. The construction division of South Korean electronics manufacturer, Samsung, is building the tower. The tower is progressing at an amazing rate, the workers finishing one story every three days! Plans have been made for the tower to include an indoor mall, an amusement park complex, and private apartments and offices. Italian fashion designer, Giorgio Armani, has co-developed the Armani Hotel. I'm sure it will be very expensive to stay in!
