meydan, another mega project in dubai

The other day I was strolling in Burjuman with a friend to cool ourselves a little after the whole day of walking under the sun. Fortunately, we found out Meydan LLC has an ongoing exhibit for their mega project – The Meydan.

The Meydan is a gigantic mixed use development that will be home to Meydan Racecourse, Meydan City and Meydan Business Park. This project is being developed by Meydan, LLC.

Meydan Racecourse. The Meydan Racecourse is an iconic and landmark development spanning 76 million square feet and featuring a state of the art dirt and turf tracks, a world class grandstand with a capacity of approximately 60,000 people. It will also include a five star hotel, the Meydan Museum and the Dubai Racing Club. A four kilometer canal will run from Dubai Creek. This will also feature a marina and a boathouse.

Meydan Marina will also be built allowing for berthing facilities for approximately 80 leisure yachts and boats.

another musical feat for Philippines

Two Philippine boys choirs have won the top prize in their respective category during the recently concluded 5th World Choir Games in Graz City, Austria.

The Las Piñas Boys’ Choir and the Kilyawan Boys’ Choir in Quezon City were declared Champions of Children’s Choirs and Choral Acapella Performers of Contemporary Music, respectively, on Sunday, July 13, during the awarding ceremonies of the choral Olympiad.

They have proved again the Filipino’s innate musicality when they bested peers from more than 30 countries.

The two performing groups competed with numerous groups from South Africa, Indonesia, Japan, China, Russia, Spain, Germany, United States, and the United Kingdom, in a series of competitions in their categories.
