*gasp* another entry so soon joy?
well, let me tell you. it's a week of hell for me, and i'm procrastinating...with no tv. AND I saw this article about the new mega-cool bridge Dubai is building, and wanted to share with you all:

(no fancy linkie thing for me!)
So, another architectural feat for the small middle eastern country which apparently has money to BURN building awesome shit like that. (I really want to go to their "7" (YES "7") star hotel:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burj_Al_Arab
heh, saw this on a site that mentioned it:
"With your chauffeur driven Rolls Royce, discreet in-suite check in, private reception desk on every floor and a brigade of highly trained butlers who provide around-the-clock attention, you can be assured of a highly personalised [sic] service throughout your stay at the Burj al Arab Hotel hotel in Dubai, which is in the United Arab Emirates. www.Burj Al Arab Hotel.com
Apparently, it’s $50 just to enter the lobby and look around…..
Of course, this place is just for tourists. Saudi Arabian women can’t visit, at least by themselves." (http://www.360digest.com/category/middle-east/)
OK, so now off to study for my tests and lab syntheses!
