A DCC Project manager came in and presented to us on Construction Drawings! I really enjoy looking at construction drawings. After spending some time around construction drawings you really begin to get a good feel of how the buildings will look in its final stage.
We only had a half day of work! The internship had something fun planned of us…yesss. A tour of Dubai! Our stops are listed
- Souk Mandinat Jumweirah (indoor fine goods market)
- Burj Al Arab (sail looking building, has tennis courts on exterior of top floor!)
- Old Dubai and Old Dubai Museum
- Gold Souk (locals try to pressure you into buying fake Rolex watches) – I found a carpet store and bargained a little with the owner to drop the price 50 dirham…but I didn’t buy it. Was a fun experience none the less)
- Visit the Dubai Mall (Biggest mall in the world – a lot of high fashion)
- Dubai Mall Fountains
- Top of the Burj Khalifam which is the tallest building in the WORLD!!!
Back home for dinner at the mall. Mike, Katelyn, Rachael and I went to PF Changs. I ordered egg drop soup. Mmmmm… Thanks for following.
Burj Al Arab - I was easily the hottest I have ever been while taking this picture. The heat from the pavement and sun reflecting from the water made the temperature around 115-120F. I'm glad that I can provide you the picture without experiencing the intense heat.

Burj Khalifam - view from the 124th floor. Fun fact the elevators went about 23mph and building stands about half a mile tall.
The view was unreal, especially looking straight down

Hey Sean,
ReplyDeleteQue paso? I have been practicing my Arabic and reading up on Dubai's Old City. I thought that your friends from LAU could translate my sophomoric attempt at Arabic. I can't be sure how well my sarcasm translates to other languages - it doesn't translate that well in English. Haha.
I remember when we got down on the playing field of the Oakland Coliseum when you were a kid. You brought back a vial of outfield grass and dirt from the field - you probably still have it. From Dubai, I would like a vial of high-grade crude oil, a few milliliters of the Persian Gulf and a tennis ball that Mike drops off the top of the Burj that you catch at the bottom. It would be great if Rodrigue would videotape this for us. From a group of engineers, I would expect to see some calculus referencing terminal velocity that accounts for the nappy fur on the tennis ball, the air currents circling the Burj, and slip stream frictional forces on the attack face of the tennis ball. That would be a very tough calculation, so it's best left to the ladies, Katelyn, Erin, Sherel and Rachael. Haha - you, you, you . . . on you! Love, Dad
مرحبا شون، كنت أقرأ عن المدينة القديمة في دبي والتسوق في السوق القديم. لم تجد أي سحر السجاد أو مصابيح السحر مع ثلاث رغبات تزال نشطة؟ في الميناء ، لم تجد وسائل النقل إلى إيران؟ رأيت صورة لأحد أبراج الرياح للنظر في إنشاء متحف في المنزل السابق الشيخ مكتوم بن حشر آل مكتوم. ويبدو أن عرف القدماء شيئا عن تكنولوجيا الرياح. أنا أفهم أن أحد معارفه القديمة من الألغام ، والشيخ مكتوم، عاشت في القلعة القديمة. لم تحصل على فرصة لزيارة؟ وآمل أن نتحدث معكم قريبا. الحب، يا أبي
