Here is a picture of my Lobby at 2am… It’s REALLY CALM! i actually loved the hotel, loved everything in it, a great view to the park, really friendly staff and also a fast service in everything, the bar was loud but it was a bit far so it didn’t disturb the guests but why did i dislike the hotel ? is because it’s really calm with nothing happening in it, no events no nothing just normal people either checking in or checking out.. i don’t want to stay in hotels like that! see Atlantis.. it’s reallllyyy Amazing!!! everything was cool & the lobby wasn’t always calm it’s always loud with people going in and going out! i like those kinds of Hotels!

My Respect To the other Religions has Grew stronger with Respect and Courage! Thank You For the amazing Wishes, We Loved It.

فتتح في لندن وبالقرب من كاتدرائية سانت بول في وسط المدينة بناية برج شارد  الذي يعد أطول برج في غرب اوربا حيث يبلغ ارتفاعه 310 مترا ,ورغم جمالية هذا المبنى وتميزه المعماري الا انه قوبل ببعض النقد من الصحافة التي وجدت في ارتفاعه الشاهق تأثيرا سيئا على بعض البنايات التراثية  التي تجاوره والتي تعتز بها المدينة وتشكل بعضا من ارثها الثقافي كما ابدى الأمير تشارلز ولي عهد بريطانيا عدم ارتياحه لهذه البناية التي وصفها بمملحة الطعام العملاقة  لكن عمدة لندن قابله برأي مغاير واكد بان هذا البرج ليس انجازا معماريا كبيرا فحسب وانما هو تجسيد لقدرة لندن على التغلب على مصاعب الركود الاقتصادي.وتعود ملكية البرج  الذي بلغت كلفته حوالي مليارين ونصف المليار دولار إلى  دولة قطر ومجموعة (سيلار العقارية)  وقام بتمويله بنك قطر الوطني المبنى ويأمل مطوروه  أن يتحول إلى مدينة عمودية تضم فندقا ومكاتب وشققا سكنية ومطاعم تتوزع على 72 طابقا ومن المتوقع أن يبلغ سعر الشقة في أعلى المبنى نحو 30 مليون جنيه استرليني

@FAlWhuhaib , i’d love to dedicate this post to Mr. Fahad Al Wuhaib, Cause He’s a UK Fan.

At first sight it looks as if a graffiti artist has been let loose on Buckingham Palace but this art project has the royal seal of approval. But have no fear, this is a projected montage to help celebrate the Diamond Jubilee and Olympics. The images, which feature a giant portrait of the Queen, are made up of 200,000 small self-portraits by children. They will be displayed on the front of the palace tonight and tomorrow night.

Legendary Italian fashion designerGiorgio Armani has reportedly become the proud owner of one of the world’s most beautiful and expensive private island – Skorpios (above). In closing the deal, said to be worth about $190 million according to reports in the European press, the designer faced stiff competition from rival bidders including Bill Gates, Roman Abramovich and Madonna. Located in the Ionian Sea off the western coast of Greece, the island formerly belonged to famed Greek shipping billionaire Aristotle Onassis and was the site of his wedding to Jackie Kennedy in 1968. It was sold to Armani by his granddaughter and heiress Athina Onassis Roussel. There is a lavish villa on the island known as the Pink House which Onassis built for Jackie, along with tennis courts and plush gardens, though most of the island remains undeveloped and pristinely beautiful.

The United Arab Emirates celebrates the coming of 2012 with a dramatic fireworks display centered around Dubai’s Burj Khalifa skyscraper.

North Korea has warned South Korea of “unexpected consequences” if it lights up a Christmas tree-shaped tower near their tense border.

The North’s state-run Uriminjokkiri website said it would amount to a form of “psychological warfare”.

Seoul’s annual tradition of lighting up a Christmas tree tower was suspended in 2003 following a warming of ties.

However, the South lit a tower last year as relations deteriorated between the neighbours.

The Associated Press quotes a defence ministry official as saying the South has agreed to allow Christian groups to light a further two towers this year.

The official says the towers will be located in the western, central and eastern parts of the border and security will be tight during the 15 days they are lit, beginning on 23 December.

North America’s beauty spreads from sea to shining sea.

When wanderlust strikes, there’s the tendency to picture oneself overseas. My personal fantasies bring me to deserts in Morocco, beaches in Goa, hole-in-the-wall salsa clubs in Havana. I tend to forget the bounty of natural beauty that exists right here in North America. These pictures showcase the stunning vistas, cultural relics, and breathtaking natural phenomena that exist right at our front doors, or at least within a few hours drive.
