Naplex and Dubai


After many weeks of intensive studying, my lovely fiance took the NAPLEX board exam yesterday. Although she said it was hard (what board exam isn't); I'm sure she passed with flying colors. She has another exam to take next Tuesday then she can officially relax and not worry until we return from our vacation. Speaking of vacations, I just found out my dad will be visiting Dubai in mid-September. I am personally fascinated with Dubai; it is a desert in the middle of nowhere yet has become one of the premier destinations for the world's rich and famous. And what makes me more jealous is the fact that he will be staying one night at the Burj Al Arab; the world's most extravagant hotel (and self-proclaimed 7-star resort). It is currently the tallest hotel in the world (soon to be surpassed by another hotel in Dubai) and also one of the most expensive; one night will set you back $1,000+. Their royal suites are $25,000+ a night. I hear they shuttle you into the hotel in a Rolls Royce. Dubai in general is just amazing; the Burj Dubai has already surpassed the Taipei 101 in height; upon completion it will be the tallest man made structure in the world. Dubai also boasts the world's largest shopping mall. And if you haven't heard of 'The World', google "the world dubai"; you will piss yourself silly. And just for good measure, go ahead and google "dubailand"; I'm speechless. What a lucky dad (though much of this stuff won't be completed for another few years).

I can't believe ur dad is going there. that is fantasy land. Someone must have asked those people: "What would you do with 1 trillion dollars" and that's what they came up with, lots of crazy buildings.

I want to go there once in my lifetime to see all this in person.

anyways, Good Luck K on your last exams.
