Alright getting back on my migration topics, do you know that the worlds tallest building is in Dubai, UAE? It’s called Burj Khalifa, I won’t go with the calculated height of it, it’s easy to google anyway, I will just show you how it looked like on New Year’s Eve courtesy of my Michael Jarabelo’s persistence on this night.

Burj

 

Though according to CNN the next tallest building will be built in 2014 in Saudi Arabia, Jeddah to be exact and will be 1kilometer in the skies. I’ll wait for the pictures.

 

Before Burj Khalifa out shown all hotels and tall buildings in Dubai there is Burj Al Arab and they have an amazing evening for couples where you have 1 bedroom suite and an adjoining parlor that you will share with another couple to be served by your own butler for the night. Now, how’s that for a memorable night. I’m unsure if they have that offer still, that was in 2011. Has been awhile.

 

Now if you are envisioning having dinner in the tallest building in the world, there is this nice restaurant  that I personally recommend, try the At.Mosphere, Foie gras to start and veal as main, you won’t  be sorry. Schedule the dinner as soon as you can in 2014 before Saudi snatches the Guinness record title 😉

As promised I am bringing in your midst the sights and colors of my migration.

opp La Plage

Speaking of migration, these are migratory birds, often a common sight during winter season. In case you were wondering where do the birds from your place go during the freezing winters well here are some of them. This shot was taken by Michael Jarabelo, 4 years ago at the back of my previous office in Jumeirah 3, Dubai.

It was a beautiful day then, but aren’t all days? hmmmm

Not to be out done, here’s a burst of color last winter in Vancouver,IMG_1549

 

I took this shot, its almost evening. Isn’t life glorious?

 

Life the tent ladies days, there are colors, represented by the untoward happenings to her life that made a surprising turn of events when she was crowned queen. Her grays turned into gold. Things happen for a reason. No one can explain why (I can definitely argue with you endlessly but I could never confirm nor can anyone does) it just the way the universe works. We can perceive and receive. The best advise “en garde” and don’t delve. Life is too short.

This is a typical sunset in Dubai, very rare that doesn’t appear. Sunset could be from 5 – 7 pm only. For all seasons, by the way, the seasons there are hot and hotter remember? Predictable, short spanned, sunset times.

Now let’s talk about Canada, image

This is whistler in summer, thank you Michael Jarabelo, another great shot! It’s like a dream. The brilliant sunshine and amazing temp comes almost predictably between July to September, unless global warming starts challenging my statement, this is the time to enjoy.

Vancouver is indeed beautiful. I’ll be posting some more pictures in my next blogs, so stay tuned. Feel free to ask. I’ll be pleased to reply. Have a great weekend!
