with my baby peanut

A night view from the tallest building on Earth- Burj Khalifa!!

I just got back from a night view from the tallest building on Earth - Burj Khalifa!! It was just awesome! I have been in Dubai for 2 years now and I can finally say that I made it to the top. I can cross my "to do list" in Dubai before I leave this country! I never thought to go all the way to the top to the Burj Khalifa because No. 1 - I'm afraid of heights No. 2 - I thought paying AED 400 just to go up is so expensive and it can just wait. My friend, Balee was in town for a few days and we were bringing him around to "tour" Dubai. He suggested that we go all the way to the top and he found out that it was only AED 100 instead of AED400 for the normal admission. yay!!!

Our Ticket to the top!!
