Okay, so I just watched the new Mission Impossible movie, and I happened to notice that a fair portion of the story takes place in, guess where, Dubai. Inevitably, I had some questions about things that happen in there, and I'll try to avoid spoilers as much as possible just in case.

1. First of all, the main place in Dubai where the situation occurs is some sort of hotel-- it's one of if not the tallest building in the city with an entirely glass exterior, and it appears to be a very fine hotel. Do you know what it is?
2. A giant sandstorm rolls in causing an inevitable chase scene that is made difficult because of the conditions. That is, the sandstorm is so thick that Hunt can barely see far at all. Does this sort of thing happen in Dubai? If so, what time of the year does it usually happen?
3. Were you aware that a scene from this movie was being shot in Dubai?

I'm sorry; I can't help but kick in and answer your questions myself considering I watched MI4 and Spirit did not. I believe Spirit will have no problem with this:

1) The building and hotel is called "Burj Khalifa".
2) No, the sandstorm which took place in the movie was pretty unrealistic. We occasionally get very light 'sandstorms' at random parts of the year (especially when it's more windy), but otherwise the movie depicted an incorrect impression of Dubai in this aspect.
3) Why don't I let him answer that now?

Sorry, I just saw your questions. I know I am late, but here are my answers:
1- That hotel is actually a tower, consisting of hotel wings, restaurants and the most fancy shops. It is the tallest building in Dubai and the world as well, actually. Its name was initially Burj Dubai, but they changed it to Burj Khalifa.v
2- We have sandstorms here and they aren't predicted actually. The sandstorms can be annoying, since sand is abundant and you would barely open your eyes. I have not seen the movie, so I don't know what kind of sandstorm they presented, but in these 10 years, there have been two or three occasions in which a sandstorm for few seconds appear so wildly, blocking view to 0%, but that never exceeded the 10 seconds.
3- Of course, I was. Everyone was.

I don't remember, actually. There have been many enjoyable occasions in Victory Road. For example, when I joined, it was due to a merge between a forums I used to be in and Victory Road. We were a lot of members, so we made a big buzz in the forums once we joined. Another occasion is my promotion to Global Moderator, being a Gym League staff and when I planned and make the first yearbook of Victory Road. I think these were great occasions.

Many of my friends, whether in real life or on the net, have certainly become my best friends. However, none has reached a margin in which I can call them a 'brother'. Maybe they did, but since this title is very sacred to me, I can't seem to see someone as one.

I am not that kind of person. My life revolves about going to school, studying, browsing, playing PS3, going to the gym and sleeping. I barely go out, unless there is something interesting out there.

Pizza and macaroni are the best. As for least, they are a lot. I don't eat any food containing garlic, onion and eggplant. I also hate most of the food containing chicken. There is more, but I can't remember.

Silver. I own a number of necklaces that are made of silver and am still planning to buy more along with a wristband. You can say I am addicted to this metal.

This is tricky. I don't have a 'favorite' staff member, but I certainly do interact with some more than the others. For example, I barely interact with VRIM staff, since I don't go there. Plus, new staff are less interactive with me as well. You can say I am used to the older staff, whom I have been talking to for more than two years.

What do you use to counter a Scizor and/or a Heatran?

It has been a long time since I participated in any competitive situation, so I might be lacking some Gen V information. But in general, Scizor was easy to get rid off as soon as you figure out its set.

Skarmory was always great in walling Scizor, unless it held Swords Dance, and in that case I would use Whirlwind. But in order to defeat Scizor, I remember using Choice Scarfed Heatran, and sometimes, Magnezone. In Magnezone's case, I would make sure Scizor is Choice Banded to anything but a Fighting move. Water Pokémon are good as well in walling and defeating Scizor, as long as they are bulky enough, like Suicune.

As of Heatran, it can be more challenging. Heatran runs numerous sets, but luckily, the others sets are rarely used compared to the two most offensive ones. This is due to the fact that the others can be hard to control and manage. In any case, Heatran is hard to defeat if played correctly.

However, priority Fighting moves were the deadliest to Heatran. Vacuum Wave from Nasty Plotted Infernape, or Mach Punch from Swords Danced Breloom are the main options. If not, then bulky Water Pokémon that can heal themselves do wonders. Dragons can also be effective, as long as they are faster, or capable of withstanding a Dragon Pulse.

Sometimes, I get the urge to draw and I do so. The drawings are mainly in pencil and are shaded. They come out to be really good. But this urge comes so seldom, I haven't drawn since more than a year ago. Nevertheless, I appreciate drawings a lot and like to view them. My taste concentrates on shaded and coaled drawings.

As for music, I am not interested. I hardly listen to any.

To be honest, yeah. It was fun; creating and testing teams, and having many challenges. I still feel attached to Steel Pokémon... But taking the responsibility of running the league, I am 100% not applying to any gym position.

Very few ones. I am not attached to any genre (if you call them that) in particular. It depends on the track itself.
