It's the tallest building in the city. It's ummm... (goes to look up info) apparently 1.3km tall, and is just amazing inside. Like, it's so huge that people say you could live for weeks without leaving it. (It'd be kinda weird to do that though :-))But they have all these great restaurants near the top - the sweet rolls at the Red Hot Bakery are just fantastic. Ooh, and the 125th floor is this foresty sort of garden. Sooo peaceful." |
