The East Mountains And The Longest Tramway in The World

Last weekend me and a group of friends wanted to do something different other than watching movies. So we thought we might ride the world longest tramway the is conveniently located in Albuquerque.

Albuquerque’s elevation is 5500 feet the air is very thin here, it really gets hard to breath as soon as you start doing anything, especially if you live at almost sea level all of your life. The tram took us another 5000 feet to 10600 feet in 15 minutes.

The best idea we had is to take our jackets with us to the peak. it really was cold and windy. The temperature was 7 degrees when we arrived a the top, and it started to get colder as the sun was setting.

We spent a total of two hours walking in a narrow and slippery walkways that we didn’t prepare for at all. We also snapped a ton of pictures. After that we decided to head back.

There was also a restaurant up there at 10500′ we really wanted to try it but we didn’t have any reservation and the waiting time was 2 hours and there was no way that we were just going to stand there waiting for a table. Will go back up there just for the restaurant maybe.

Some Dubai Pictures

During my last visit to Dubai I managed to take a few photos on the first day there. There where some clouds that made “Burj Khalifa” look amazing. I didn’t wander off taking pictures all around Dubai, no, I just strolled around my hotel which was located very nicely close to every thing.

Here are just some of those pics, will upload the rest to my Flickr account later.

All pictures where taken using my Sony A350. Click on images for a larger view.

Guess What…..!!?

The weather is not that great.

How Civilized!!

A Jewish settler throws wine at a Palestinian woman in Hebron in the West Bank. Holy to both Jews and Muslims, the city is often the scene of violence. Castelnuovo captured the attack while photographing a celebration of the Jewish festival of Purim.

Miniature New York

An artist by the name of Sam O’Hare created video by compiling over 35,000 pictures taken in a single week last August. Using tilt-shift photography, O’Hare managed to make New York city look like a miniature model.

Mind Your Step

That’s one amazing view, just like the beautiful weather we had the last couple of days

The BBQ

Last weekend we had very nice weather hear, so we decided to have a BBQ. I usually do my own patties, but because this was sudden we decided to try the Kobe Burger.

So my wife picked up a dozen burgers from Sultan Center. It was a very nice burger with minimal effort. The burgers were so juicy and tasty. need to find a better bun though.

I would love a real burger at the moment.

GulfRun – The Finale

The end has finally dawned, and GulfRun 5 at the Bahrain International Circuit was over. I think everyone who participated or went to the event enjoyed it, as there was all out safe action and surprises down the way.  Last night was the closing ceremony in Lenotre, and GulfRun with their sponsors, handed out the timings of all the drivers and events and their awards.

Info Connect 2010

Yesterday we passed by Info Connect at the International Fair Ground to see what’s new. We weren’t expecting much from there except for some new DSL prices but we still had to wonder around checking stuff out before ManU/Arsenal – Egypt/Ghana games.

To our amazement we found a cleaning solution in an Tech/IT expo.

we ended up buying 3 of this AMAZING Kleaner :/

Also when walking around we noticed an unreleased Android mobile device on display in a protected glass case.

Yes it is the SonyEricsson’s upcoming X10. it will be the company’s first android device that should be available as early as next month.

Zidaneoo was also looking for a new laptop. So, we had a quick look around and saw an i7 and an i5 HP laptops that had a very good price. cant remember the exact pricing and specs. but I should have the up soon.

We took our time there wich made us miss both game’s kick-off. and when we got to Showtime’s booth i saw this.

Of course they were watching the Egypt game.

And when it was time to leave, it was raining and we were greeted with a lightnings show.

So, not much to say about the Expo. With the exception of semi-good ADSL prices.

Gulf Run 5: Day 3

Yesterday was the third and final day of the GulfRun. The whole day was drag racing only. The disappointing thing is that not all the cars participated in the event, but it was still a lot of un. Took some cool pictures.

All good things must come to an end. Thank you GulfRun you were wonderful.
