Dubai is crazy

I have seen some of the plans Dubai has for it's buildings… Some of it is absolute madness!
They plan to finish a massive underwater hotel, called Hydropolis (how creative  ::))

The Dynamic Tower, the world's first moving/rotating skyscraper.

Burj Dubai (Tower Dubai or Dubai Tower >_>) tallest skyscraper in the world.

Many, MANY more things are planned. To find out more about Dubai's crazy plans, check out http://www.dubai-architecture.info/ click on the "Dubai is Nuts" Gallery, I cannot believe some of the things Dubai has planned.
I've been to Dubai quite a lot of times, and have stayed in the hotel inside the Emirates Towers (really nice hotel, 5 stars). Great city, lots of fun, playground for the rich.

By the way, reply to this and tell what you think, please.

That's pretty badass.

But I think some of the things on that page are just jokes.

Such as?

I don't think so, because they've already begun building these things.
All of them, yes, the Burj Dubai (85% done), Hydropolis (They've begun building the parts for it), The Dynamic Tower (foundations have been made, parts of the building are being assembled)

It's one of the most (if not THE most) technologically advanced cities in the world.

It's safe to assume that once all these things are finished, it's vacation time for me.

Are you serious about this? That would rock, but why make a rotating tower? :/ It seems pointless (except for the sake of epic win) and energy costing.

One more thing: 56 ERROR, you said you have been to Dubai a few times. Is your family just really rich or did you find any decent priced hotels? I think it would be a unique place for a vacation but it would seem that everything is pretty expensive :/. But I want to go there someday if only it is affordable for us…..

Well last time we went there was about 5 years ago. Back then it wasn't as expensive as it is now. The Emirates Towers Hotel was REALLY expensive though. I'm not sure how much in dollars. In British pounds, it was about… Um… Well I'm not sure really, I don't remember things like that.
EDIT: Probably in the 125-250 pound range.
