Burj Khalifa

And the cost of such technology is also unaccessible to majority of the people, both in Europe and in the Gulf.

In the Gulf, we're, however, seeing more progress with high-rise developments, skyscrapers like Burj Khalifa has more technology in it that supports and still there is a way to go.

Does

it surprise you? I mean, that point on cost, does it surprise you that we're not progressing more quickly? Look at how solar, for example, on a very big picture level, the cost of solar has dropped dramatically, especially here in the Gulf, and exceeded expectations very quickly 10 years ago.

right? Maybe we are both running slavery, slave systems, but they're just more ambitious.

So they built the Burj Khalifa and we built like 900 homes or something like that, whatever

it is.

This is just crazy, the values.

Which pop singer sang the hits Tick Tock and Die Young? Uh, Kesha.

What is the tallest building in the world? Burj Khalifa.

Complete the Hosea song title.

To? To, uh, a pass.

Everyone takes some part of your credit.

I personally feel the person who is actually doing the job, like I would say the guys who built Burj Khalifa with their bare hands and were on like the highest floor and putting the blocks there and doing everything.

And

it's like, I wish we hear their story.

It's filmed in Dubai.

He's on top of the Burj Khalifa.

And his poor little Irish skin, he is basically bright red throughout the whole video from the desert heat.

So this song so far only brushing the chart briefly but its time will very much come on the charts.

As a visitor to Dubai, I know the first time I went to Al-Sakhal Avenue and I am sending friends there tomorrow who are visiting Dubai for the first time.

And I know they're going to love it, but I also know that they'll take an Uber and they'll drive through this dusty industrial area and they'll see the Burj Khalifa on the skyline and think they're going like far, far away from Dubai.

And it's this real disconnect because it's not the polished, shiny Dubai that people perhaps expect if they've never been here before.

It's almost like a subculture in some ways.

Therefore, it's not far from downtown.

It's not far from Burj Khalifa.

So that whole area, and of course, on the same side of the road, just next door to it, is City Walk as well.

So great boulevard shopping, nice, you know, in the summer.

I've said to you before, one of the things that I think you have to do in Dubai, and nobody does this really.

Well, people kind of do it, but I think this should be a bucket list thing.

It's just to go and stand under Burj Khalifa and look up.

Yeah,

Don't want to see any missiles.

I drove past the Burj Khalifa and I'm like, it's quite a bit away from here, but you know, there it is.

And she's like, oh yeah, okay.

I saw it now.

doesn't care about the Burj Khalifa, doesn't want to go see Burj Al Arab, which is fine because it's closed anyway, but doesn't care about the tourists.

Not pushed, not arsed.

I'm like, this is phenomenal.

Like it's a number, everybody has like a specific number to consider themselves financially free and you can stop working and you can live off your investments.

And so that whenever people discover what that number is, we realize that the only way to get there is by you working, but also instead of having your money parked At a savings account, that money also needs to start growing by itself because it's really the comparison that I always make and people really get it is that if you wanted to go to the top floor of the Burj Khalifa, nobody's going to think about taking the stairs.

Everybody's going to look, how can I accelerate my way there? And they're going to take the elevator.

It's like the logical thing to do.
