If you haven't already noticed from my other posts, the UAE is really into setting world records. In fact there is even a building in Abu Dhabi that claims to be the largest curved building in the world. It is no suprise then that the UAE would also be home to the tallest building in the world....823 meters to be exact. Its called the Burj Dubi and it is definitely really tall. 
Atleast for the next 5 years (according to the news) Paije can say she has seen the tallest building in the world.
We actually happened to visit the night before its grand opening. Even though it would have been cool to see the fireworks, we were grateful not to have to deal with the hundreds of thousands of people they expected to show up to watch the event.
Cool building next to the Burj Dubai

Are you surprised? We walked around it for a while. It had some fun shops including this candy store.
It also had an indoor equarium.
Here we are enjoying some of UAE's famous juices. This particular drink has strawberry on top, mango in the middle, and avocado on the bottom.
I opted for the strawberry mango drink instead. Which do you think looks better? Mine had pistachio and strawberry ice cream on top...ok I guess they are more like milkshakes then juices.

So what did everybody think about the avocado on the bottom? I would have tried it just to say I tried it! Looks like a nice Mall, especially if you've got a lot of money to spend, right? A curved building? That would be interesting!
How can any of the rest of us ever post anything??? No world records, no exotic drinks, no camel races...just the ordinary day to day of being alive. Oh well! I'm just trying not be be envious.
I like your drink best--even just the picture looks quite refreshing!
