Cliffside Pool, Hotel du Cap Eden-Roc, France

The majestic infinity-edge pool of the fabled Hotel du Cap Eden-Roc is forged into cliffs along the rugged Cap d'Antibes coast just outside Cannes. Filled with ocean salt water and heated on cooler days, it looks out on the Lérins Islands and the glassy Cannes Bay, where the gin palace yachts of the celebrities and tycoons who stay here bob on the water. On a secluded cement terrace, hidden among rocks above the pool, cocktail waiters tend to guests reclining in private cabanas on deck chairs under glossy white umbrellas. Almost as spectacular as the views are the celebrity sightings of the likes of Kate Moss, Bruce Willis,
and Johnny Depp.

Tip: A rope at pool level allows you to swing Tarzan-style off the cliffs into the ocean swell below.

Spa Village Pool, Pangkor Laut Resort, Malaysia

This long, narrow infinity-edge pool rimmed by palm and frangipani trees is the same jade green as the ocean beyond it, so you will feel as if you are swimming in the sea. Part of the Spa Village of this exclusive private island resort, the pool and its steep curved edges drop down to a narrow sandy beach that's invisible from the pool itself, so your view is of palms, villas on stilts in the ocean, and the lush forests of Pangkor Island across the Bay of Malacca. Fragrant frangipani and bougainvillea petals float on the water, adding to its Zen calm.

Tip: Running alongside the pool is the Jamu Bar, a snack and juice bar where you can order tropical fruit cocktails in between laps or sessions on the sun lounger.

Rooftop Pool, The Berkeley, Knightsbridge, London

In a city not known for its pools, the heated rooftop lap pool of the classy Berkeley Hotel in Knightsbridge is one of the best-kept secrets in town. Built in the 1970s and framed by handsome Roman pillars and arches, it's set under a retractable roof that opens up to the sky on warm days. You get rare views of the leafy expanse of Hyde Park to the north, and an eagle-eye vantage point of Knightsbridge and flagship stores Harvey Nichols and Harrods to the west. You can't order cocktails from the Blue Bar, but you can sip juices from the spa menu.

Tip: For US $120 (GBP 60) a day, nonresidents can get access to the pool and spa.

Hydropolis is the world's first luxury underwater hotel. It is under construction. Joachim Hauser is the developer and designer of the hotel. He said that Hydropolis is not a project. It is a passion. It has already been compared to both a jellyfish and a sea turtle.

The land on which this project Hydropolis is being built belongs to His Highness General Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai. Around 150 firms are involved in this project. It is one of the largest contemporary construction projects in the world, covering an area of 260 hectares.

The project is divided into three sections. One is the land station. Land Station is the complex where the visitors are welcomed first. It is a large building with roof that dips and rolls like peak of the wave. Second one is the connecting tunnel from which people start their journey to the hotel. This tunnel is 1700 ft and carries a train beneath both the land and sea.

Third and last section is destination, the hotel itself. The hotel is shaped like bubbles. There are curves which are designed to provide maximum resistance against pressure of sea water as well as occasional typhoon. It features a pair of observation domes which allow an expansive view of the water and the creatures that live in it. They are large enough to emerge above the waves, and one is planned with a retractable roof allowing people to be surrounded by the ocean while looking directly into the sky.

Hydropolis reproduces the human organism in an architectural design. There is a direct analogy between the physiology of man and the architecture.

The Palm Islands also known as the Palm Dubai and The Palms. The Palm Islands are the three man-made islands in the world. These Palm Islands are built in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. These Islands make Dubai a tourist destination. The Palm islands are considered as the Eighth Wonder of the World.

The Palm, Jebel Ali is a tourist destination that combines excitement with entertainment in every sense. Featuring a vibrant blend of residential communities, leisure, cultural and entertainment outlets, The Palm, Jebel Ali offers visitors and residents a unique, unmatched and unforgettable experience.

The Jebel Ali Palm is more of an entertainment destination for both adults and children, which caters to both residents and tourists. The island will include six marinas, a 'Sea Village', a water theme park and water homes built on stilts between the fronds and the crescent.

It will consist of residential property, marinas, shopping malls, sports facilities, and clubs. The residential area will be located on the fronds and will contain 8,000 two-storey town houses in three distinct styles - Premier Villas, Grand Villas and Vista Town Homes.

Burj Tower




Burj Tower is the largest skyscraper in the world which is currently under construction in Dubai. Burj Tower is the centerpiece of the Gulf regions most prestigious urban development, entitled Downtown Dubai.

Burj is an Arabic word which means 'Tower'. So, Burj Dubai means 'Dubai Tower' or 'Tower of Dubai'. Its exact height hasn't been disclosed but it is suggested that it will be over 700 meters tall. Its design was influenced by the six petal desert flower as well as incorporating patterns found within Islamic architecture.

The design of Burj Tower was originally proposed by Skidmore Owings and Merrill for the Grollo Tower in Melbourne, Australia. Burj Dubai is being constructed on Sheikh Zayed Road which will be surrounded by a man-made lake. It will also be surrounded by a combination of residential, commercial, hotel, entertainment and leisure outlets, along with open green spaces, water features, and pedestrian boulevards.

Its shape will be integral to its impressive size. The design is intended to reduce the impact of wind and to reduce the need for a stronger core - allowing for more space - as it ascends.

The Burj Dubai has been designed to be the centre piece of a large-scale, mixed-use development that will include 30,000 homes, nine hotels such as the Burj Dubai Lake Hotel & Serviced Apartments, 6 acres of parkland, at least 19 residential towers, the Dubai Mall, and the 12 hectare Burj Dubai Lake.

Like the six-petal flower, the base of the tower blossoms as it reaches skyward, tapering gracefully into a spire at the top where visitors will be able to enjoy panoramic views of the city from the Observation Deck. The dome shaped plan accentuates a series of steps that lead up the vertical height of the building.

International real estate

The term international real estate is a relatively new phenomenon, which implies a post-Globalization real estate, or property sector. The term encompasses real property development and sales/leasing transactions between nations; and the enormous amount of legal, design, urban planning, engineering, financing, and construction work that follows from developmental transactions. International real estate is, by definition, influenced by fluctuating market value in various sectors between counties, as can be evidenced by the 2008 global credit crisis. International real estate is best subdivided into two categories: commercial and residential.

International commercial real estate has been a natural consequence of business' evolution toward multi-national business operations. Often, International commercial real estate transactions require the formation of corporations used to purchase or lease real estate, when freehold ownership is not permitted.

International real estate, as it involves the purchase and sale of international residential real estate, is often limited to the "luxury" sector of the real estate market, usually defined as the top 10% of sales prices in a given market. This is because international home purchases are usually buyers' second homes, although marketshare exists in "affordable luxury" holiday homes. Within the international residential real estate sector, great emphasis is placed on property marketing.

International real estate may have been aided by modern media such as internet or international media, as it catalysed globalization and aided in the communications necessary for transactions to take place. It is not true that international real estate did not exist before the World Wide Web, but it is certainly true that it was not as effective and accessible as it is nowadays.

International real estate is one of the most dynamic branches of real estate encompassing experts from many different fields, including law, civil engineering and construction planning. Its main aims include infrastructural development and augmentation of the tourist industry.

The recent construction of international real estate directories and forums in which the interested parties can communicate and exchange information has been a major breakthrough resulting in major development in the field.

The foreign exchange market or better known as FOREX is when one currency is traded for another country’s currency. It is an alternative form of business where the goods to be bought and sold are money itself using money.

In the past, people would normally engage in stocks and pool their savings in the money market to build up their investment portfolio.

Nowadays, with more than 1.5 trillion USD of FOREX being exchanged on a daily basis, even the “small-time” investor can participate in the FOREX market. There is leverage in the FOREX market where a minimum amount of currency can have access to

a large deal of money.

A lot more advantages to study and dive into FOREX trading include the following:

Why FOREX?

24-hour trading

Compared to stocks, FOREX trading is twenty-fours. A FOREX trader can trade right away once they spot an opportunity to buy low and sell high. Remember, money has time value. And a lot of factors in the economics and politics of a government affect how low a currency will drop or how high a currency will gain. It is fairly easy to say buy low and sell high. But the trick is to know when to do it. With twenty-four trading, the FOREX trader has the ultimate advantage already. Since, after all, time is money.

High liquidity

A market or business is considered very liquid if the assets involved can enable the person to directly meet his payment obligations. In other words, if cash is at hand—immediately. What is a more liquid market than the FOREX market?

FOREX has high liquidity, because it can be traded swiftly, without considerable loss of value, and anytime within the trading hours or in FOREX trading’s case—24/7.

No commission

FOREX trading need not have brokers in between to facilitate. With other forms of money market ventures and stock trading, brokers come in handy; because they are able to handle varied forms of portfolios and company stocks for the investor. Even if FOREX trading is involved with multiple currencies, it is a very direct business where the trader himself can act on his own; thus no commissions are leaked out and all profits are kept!

Steady market availability

In all businesses, businessmen strive for a steady market, if not an increasing one. Why spend time in a trading scene when it is short-term?

Because FOREX trading is all about the buying and selling of currencies, it is a continuously moving market. Money make the world go round, as the cliché goes.

The market will always be there. The trader only has to be aware of the rising and falling of the currencies. When is the currency starting to be weak? When is it going strong? Is there a trend?

Taking action

This benefits and advantages all the more make FOREX trading a very attractive business venture. For first time FOREX traders, why not inquire now at your home bank on how to start making your money work for you? FOREX trading is the way to go.

How did the taipans and billionaires get so filthy rich?!

Besides the more obvious hard work and diligence and always saving little by little in their piggy banks, the really rich guys know how to work up the foreign exchange.

Basically, foreign exchange trading or simply FOREX trading is just the buying and selling of the world’s currencies. Money today is not the same as money tomorrow. Money has time value. The worth of a currency can go up or down.

There is one secret that FOREX traders live by. And it is buy low, sell high. Don’t ever forget that rule.

However, the trick is to know when to buy and when to sell. In FOREX trading, everything is by speculation. Sure, there are graphs to aid decisions. Business pages also give out strategies for the day. But the next step is always a guess based from the previous actions.

FOREX traders like to call their speculations as smart guesses. Usually, patterns on the currency values can be derived from how the politics of a specific country is running.

For example, if there is a plan to oust the president, most probably the value of that country’s currency will go down—how low, we don’t know. Usually. Because there are still a lot of factors to consider why a currency is going strong or not.

Improvement on the tourism sector can mean more foreign investments. This will be good for a particular currency, but this may affect how the other countries are doing.

These are just trade scenarios. As the cliché goes, one man’s medicine may be another man’s poison. One country’s good tidings may be another country’s, well, downfall.

That is why in FOREX trading, another secret to live by is to be aware of the national news in the country concerned.

Current events have a say on the economics of a country. Money makes the world go round, so to speak.

But, if one is truly serious in earning their first million in FOREX trading, another secret is—it might be a good idea to invest in a FOREX trading training school. Learn from the pros and conquer the world afterwards.

Let me leave you one last secret I learned from my father. If everyone is going in this direction, go the other way. This applies to FOREX and other areas of life. You won’t ever get rich by following the crowd.

Besides buying low and selling high, follow that last secret and you might just join the ranks of the taipans and billionaires.

What is Forex (Foreign Exchange)?

Foreign Exchange (FOREX) is the arena where a nation's currency is exchanged for that of another. The foreign exchange market is the largest financial market in the world, with the equivalent of over $1.9 trillion changing hands daily; more than three times the aggregate amount of the US Equity and Treasury markets combined. Unlike other financial markets, the Forex market has no physical location and no central exchange (off-exchange). It operates through a global network of banks, corporations and individuals trading one currency for another. The lack of a physical exchange enables the Forex market to operate on a 24-hour basis, spanning from one zone to another in all the major financial centers.

Traditionally, retail investors' only means of gaining access to the foreign exchange market was through banks that transacted large amounts of currencies for commercial and investment purposes. Trading volume has increased rapidly over time, especially after exchange rates were allowed to float freely in 1971. Today, importers and exporters, international portfolio managers, multinational corporations, speculators, day traders, long-term holders and hedge funds all use the FOREX market to pay for goods and services, transact in financial assets or to reduce the risk of currency movements by hedging their exposure in other markets.
