    I'd go to Dubai.

    Not only does my dad live there, but it's one of the richest resort places in the world. Like a first choice destination of the celebs and people with enough money to afford such a place.

    Not to mention, the waters are beautiful and the place is just.. awesome.

    Oh, that's right, Dubai's getting crazy!! They talk about it a lot on Diggnation; aren't they planning on building the tallest building in the world or something? I also heard about the first space station being located there o_o Don't quote me though, I'm not completely sure on any of this

    Amsterdam to, y'know, smoke up...

    Seriously, New York for the shopping, and Australia for the scenery. And also Hong Kong.

    I already wrote an A* grade essay for this. But it was by hand, so none of you will get to read it.

    They are building the worlds tallest building, and then there is this one tower under construction that has like individual rotating floors. Here's some fun concept art of the tower!

    UM WHAT. That is freaking insane. I'm moving to Dubai, and that is that Wouldn't you maybe get motion sick though, with the floor itself moving?

    Dubai is just absolutely nuts. It's like the city of the *~FUTURE~*.

    If I could chose one place in the world, it'd probably be San Diego, CA. Great weather, amazing beaches, friendly laid back communities, great food scene, etc. What more could you want?

    Not really, they have a tower in san antonio that is like.. WAY off the ground and the whole floor rotates. It's basically a resturant, but the floor turns so slowly that you only notice because the scenery is changing other than that, you don't feel it what so ever. I'd imagine the same idea would be taken into consideration for this mega-tower.

    My cousin lived in San Diego for a while, and totally loved it. From what she's said, it's one of the best places she's ever been and will ever be.

    Dubai is a city for people to flaunt how rich they are. Take a look at the hotel rooms and stuff. More money than taste, imo.

    You mean, THIS HOTEL?








    Mind you, the Burj Al Arab is the ONLY SEVEN STAR hotel in the world.
    My dad said that he wanted to check it out, but if you're not staying you actually have to pay about 300$ per person just to walk in and look around.

    I'd sell my soul to the devil just to be able to stay in the Royal suite for a couple of days.
