Are those just reflections or are the windows near the top in varying shades?

I'm fairly sure it's a window-washing boom.

By the way, can someone confirm for me the proper way to pronounce "Lujiazui?" Is it "loo-jee-ah-ZWEE?"

Loo-jaz-way

^Thanks, giallo!

That seems a bit confusing, though... ui=way... I blame my American public schooling. There's no emphasis on a particular syllable?

Is that "way" closer to weigh or to the French huit?

It's Pinyin pronunciation, which can be somewhat different from standard English pronunciation of the same letters.

The 'way' is very close to the English 'weigh', but the z sound in pinyin actually sounds more like dz, so zui is pronounced dz-weigh.

:previous: Muppet, that shot is HOT!
