42 Days - Sunday Off..
















World Financial Center - the third tallest building in the world. I paid 150RMB to get to the highest floor, which has a glass floor. There is a large cutout at the top of the building and the highest observation deck is at the top of that cutout. You can walk along the glass floor. Most people paid to go up there, but were afraid of the floor. Even by the windows there was glass areas, so most people were afraid. There are a lot of pics. I will try to explain them. The one of the expo site you can see the chinese pavilion the upside down pyramid, well look across the river, you will see a white bubble looking thing (not the flying saucer). Well further right you will see the wooden conical building and right above that one is our building. The pictures with the white observation deck, some of them you can look up and see the higher glass walkway observation deck.

The pictures near the top show the Oriental Pearl TV tower. I have a shot of the bottom and one of the baubles (yes thats how they spell it). Pretty gaudy looking thing.

There is also a video of the elevator ride. Pretty trippy lighting. Notice the height display. Pretty cool. You should be able to enlarge all pictures and maybe the video. If you cant see the numbers in the video it got up to 435 meters.

So since it was nice out I decided to do something touristy. It wasnt nearly as fun by myself. I hope I will get to go back with Terrie. It will be so much better with her. I miss her dearly. I love you Terrie!
