What not to miss while attending an annual conference in Dusit Thani Hotel?
To take photos of Burj Khalifa. From the hotel, it has a nice view of the tallest tower.

Why was the world’s tallest tower renamed into Burj Khalifa?

Find me if you can. No, I didn't see it live.
Talk about five years in the making, Burj Khalifa (formerly known as Burj Dubai), the tallest tower in the world was officially inaugurated last night. The first time I saw this up and personal was few months ago when we checked the fireworks in the dancing fountain in Dubai Mall. It is really, really gigantic that it felt like looking up to eternity from that point. I did not get to see the launching face to face though. I hoped that they would do it during a weekend that I probably might have considered going there to be one of the many spectators, with eyes bewildered, as you can see in one of the photos. (I photographed these from the pages of one of the leading broadsheets in UAE.)
