    hmm.. i know how much a meter is but i still can't imagine the size of the building. anyone can scale it down and compare it to something else so i can at least kind of visualize the building? seeing as i've never seen the cn tower or anything else that tall?

    Take the rotating resturant from the cn tower and add it on top of the cn tower and thats what you'd approximately get for the samsung tower at dubai. These guys didnt set out to beat us they set out to make a point. Bastards! The next big tower/building is probably going to be a kilometer high 1000 Meters

    jus search for the tallest building where you live.. and compare it that way. the tallest building in spore is only ard 220 metres due to height regulations.. and thats ard 50 floors. so 800 metres is ard 200 floors?
     
  4. i thought there was another tower taller than the CN Tower....didn't know we were STILL the talllest. -lol

    i saw a documentary on Dubai... the city looks like something out of a fairy tale book....it looks awesome.
