It's sad that the menacing-looking Jin Mao Tower will lose its China's Tallest Building title in a few more months.

I don't want to open a can of worms here, butTaipei is not in China (the People's Republic of, that is), much as the communist leadership believes that it should be.

Taiwan is a 200-mile-long country off the eastern coast of China.

^That's about six floors in 24 days.
Therefore, the current rate is roughly one floor every four days.
The progress of the core looks slower though.

Hehe. Stop riding my coat tails, peterliu!

This big one is for you, Fabb

Fabb · #**1076** Posted **Aug 5, 2006, 2:12 PM**

Thanks !
I'm ecstatic. I realize I've kept watching it for about six minutes in a row.

This tower is beautiful! But its hard undestand how this could from the same architects that build nothing but pure crap garbage in NYC.

505, 5th Avenue, Lehman Brothers, 5 Times Square, not to mention a couple of failed projects. Their work in NY is not so bad.

Fabb · #**1080** Posted **Aug 7, 2006, 7:15 AM**

That's ... massive !
The core is ahead by only three floors.
I'm starting to be worried about that.
