Visit the Burj Khalifa!

The awe-inspiring Burj Khalifa

Are you an acrophobic? Afraid of heights? I don’t suggest you visit the Burj Khalifa anytime soon. I actually did know about the Burj Khalifa before my Physics teacher mentioned it during class but I never thought to look it up on YouTube. I know this is old news and many of you know about this already. But seriously, play the video below! (The video was taken on December 31, 2009 but the official opening was January 4th, 2010.)

The Burj Khalifa in Dubai is the tallest structure in the world, with an incredibly impressive height of 828m and well over 160 floors! It is superb designing. When you’re at ‘At the Top’ (the observation deck) you could see the horizon! I mean, I’m not an acrophobic myself but if I were to go on top of the Burj Khalifa, I’d probably have a heart attack.

Hiya! My name is MJ, but not MJ as in Michael Jackson, not MJ as in Michael Jordan, not MJ as in megajoules, but MJ as in Min Jung! I attend Western Canada High School and my favorite subject is Biology. I especially relish in the smell of formaldehyde fuming through the hallways after a dissection lab. Random fact about me? I can bend backwards until my hands are locked around my ankles and my nose touches the ground. How's that for head over heels?
