Well I kinda got lazy again.. sorry... I am going back to Edinburgh in a couple of days (Yay) though I would catch up on all I have been up to (not that much) before I leave.I have been to the kingdom tower.. see picture. Its about 70 ish stories high. It looks very impressive but I still think it looks like a giant bottle opener. Google the “Kingdom tower” and you will see what I mean. The view from there is nice, but it drives home the point that there is nothing in Riyad. Even the centre around the tower there is huge blocks of land with nothing... just flat ground.
There is shopping centre in the bottom but the pound is very weak and its not realy any point in buying anything its so expensive here. We tried walking around the area but got fed up after 30mins and went back home :p

Guess they got the design from http://www.ubergizmo.com/photos/2007/9/idrink.jpg
I wounder how big the bottle will be.
I wonder how useful a bottle opener is in Saudi..So far I've only seen cans..
And what on earth would they want so much liquid in a bottle for? It's not like they booze it up! I mean, it could lead to one hell of a night out, but in Riyad? hmmm...
(sorry, I feel like I need to comment, or the blogging will stop..but I don't really have anything to say about this... :P)
