Irina, what is your favourite city? Please describe your favourite spot in that city.
Each city i visited and experienced so far in my life has its own special spirit and individuality to like, however one city I discovered for myself to become a special one and almost favorite, during all the season times, is small city in Finland – Jyväskylä! Hospitable, comfortable and functional city where I currently live and enjoy my student life! Why I like it? Probably first of all is related with my personal experience gained here, and wonderful people I met!! But in general city impress me by its internationalization and tolerance to all the nationalities, active social and night life both for its residents and visitors, and beautiful natural surrounding that provide a lot of space for various recreational and outdoor activities to enjoy in fresh air and clean nature!

Designed by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill, the Burj Dubai in Dubai is about to dwarf other projects. The Burj Dubai is likely to be the world’s highest tower - and it will be a city within a city on a 7000 square meter big base area. The actual height is not published yet and is treated as a secret.
