EdgeWalk at the CN Tower

EdgeWalk at the CN Tower is a new extreme attraction for thrill lovers. It looks scary but I would love to give it a try. You will be able to walk on the edge of one of the world’s tallest buildings, 356m/1168ft (116 storeys) above the ground.


People have tried similar crazy actions without a rope, why not try it with a rope. It costs around $200.

My US Visit Experience

I've been in the US for the past month and I just got back to sweet home. We had a wonderful time and I would love to talk about the best places to visit in the states.

Our visit started in Philadelphia, then moved to different places including Miami, Los Angeles, Las Vegas and a quick visit to NY, Washington DC and Atlantic City as they were near philadelphia at the east coast.

Philadelphia:My only visit to Philadelphia was to see my brother Barmait as he was studying at Temple University. Abdullah if your reading this please excuse my honesty I know you love Philadelphia so much. My only bad remark concerning Philadelphia is that it is not a clean city; streets are somewhat dirty and at night the place becomes a city of ghettos. However looking at the bright side, I found Philly rather interesting as it had lots of great places to visit. They have many interesting spots like the City Hall and Rocky Steps.

They have the second biggest shopping mall in the US called King of Prussia Mall only 20 minutes away. I loved their restaurants, if you visit Philly I would recommend you'd go to the first Philly steak ever made called Pat's Cheese Steak, we also went to a perfected version of Pat's which is called Geno's Philly Steak. Lorenzo is a great pizza place, they only sell a cheese pizza and it's famous for it's huge size of pizza and good taste, it's located at south street. Philadelphia is a great place to visit. Even if you think about going somewhere else, it's only a few hours away from great cities like New York, Washington DC and Atlantic City.

Miami:
If you love the beach then Miami is your #1 place. Miami's south beach is considered to be one of the best beaches in the world, not to mention that the sun in Miami is hot for a sexy tan. If your going to Miami then you have to have a hotel at the south beach for the best experience.

The best place to visit for Miami at night is the Lincoln Road Mall and it's only a walking distance if your at south beach. They have many shops, restaurants and coffee shops at this road. What I love about them is that they close at 12am some of them close at 1am too.
We've stayed in Miami for 5 days and I think it's enough time for Miami as a small wonderful vacation.

I'll talk about NY, Los Angeles and Las Vegas on my next posts.

My First Experience With The Police

Last night, I was at Hawally with my friend in Ibn Khaldoon Street. We were going for a quick stop to buy a flash memory. I parked my car, went to the store and bought my things. As I returned to the car I found out that there's a car parked behind me which blocks my exit and nobody was inside it.
I assumed that the person who parked his car behind me wouldn't take much time so I didn't mind waiting 1 or 2 minutes. My friend and I checked on every near-by store and asked them about the car's owner but without any results. 15 minutes have passed, I kept getting more and more angry by the second.

I decided to call the police hoping that they would do something about it. I explained my issue and gave them my exact location. The woman from the call center told me that they will be there as soon as possible. Later on, I got a home call from the police department asking if my car was still blocked and I told him yes.

After 35 minutes of waiting, the car's owner arrived to his car, started the engine and was about to leave like nothing has happened. I ran towards the car and stopped him. I furiously asked him to stop the engine. After the anger I had to let out on him, he started apologizing stating that he's new here and didn't notice the time. I told him that you aren't going anywhere until the police arrives. I noticed the time and realized that it's been almost 20 minutes since I called the police and they still didn't show up. After struggling with the syrian guy I decided to let him go.
An hour later, I got a call from the police asking whether or not my car is still blocked.

This experience taught me two lessons. Firstly, I shouldn't call the police if my car gets blocked because they wouldn't take it seriously. Secondly, always have a baseball bat placed in your car so that you can have the pleasure to smash the car into little pieces if someone parks behind you.
