World's tallest buildings

I visited the 5th tallest building in the world, yesterday - the Lotte Tower in Seoul.

At night, during sunset, and from just the right angle, the sun falls between the two prongs on top, and it's totally the Eye of Sauron.


Standing next to it, and looking up, was astonishing. Nothing prepared me for how tall it really was.

Here are our feet on the glass-floor observation deck - you can see the traffic down below!

And I had no idea so many buildings had heli-pads. It's wild.

(I'm sure there's a metaphor for success in here somewhere, but mainly I wanted to share cool pictures.)

Oh, and residences in this building sell for around 25.7 million a pop. That's A LOT of affiliate marketing :)

those are tall buildings! I don't think I would have the nerve to stand on the glass floor, though

Great pics and great story but makes you wonder where the mentality is when a person is charged so much for a place to live !!!

It's insane - at some point, you have to ask what on earth justifies the expense? In this case, they're buying the address. And probably 80% of these units are being sold to ultra-wealthy Chinese people, if I had to guess.

Such s pity when people are starved to death

My world keeps expanding thanks to WA members. Thanks. Debbie

From the backside of the villa where I live we can see the Burj Khalifa (I guess hard not to), and during fireworks we always watch them from the rooftop...

We are closer to another unusual building here, the Burj Al Arab Hotel...From the front side on our front steps, we watch the hotel facade change colors at night...Kinda cool...

During the New Year festivals and again from the rooftop, we can see not only these two features and the fireworks, but also along the beach up and down the coastline.

What I like about this place is that the people are always looking for the biggest, the best, the most, and have a 'can-do' attitude about life...

Having said all that, it is expensive here...People coming for vacations typically spend 3-4 x what I would spend in Spain, Italy, and even more for places like Thailand, the Philippines, or Turkey...

You can have fun here though, no doubt...More live bands than I have seen anywhere, and there are plenty of events and musos coming in always, etc.

Korea is a place I have always enjoyed as well (and China, Hong Kong, and Thailand)...The food is fantastic in all three places, and the culture and people so interesting to meet and talk to...

Thanks for sharing and have a great Sunday!

Cheers!

Thanks Dave! You should post some pictures of the big 'un, and the other interesting buildings, I'm sure we'd all love to see them! I've never been to Dubai but would love to see it and all its splendor eventually.

Not a problem, I will have to dig a little to see what I have on pics...Most include people and parties and such...Not interesting maybe for the masses hehe...

Yes, I would definitely add a stop in Dubai to your bucket list...Emirates has these great deals where you can do a stopover here for 2-3 days en route to somewhere else...

If you plan a bit you can find a hotel that will not break the bank but still have clean sheets and a proper bed with a hot shower (you may need a cold shower if you come in the Summer!)...

Cheers!

very cool, thanks for the tips!

Pretty wild! Very impressive! Thank you for sharing.

glad you enjoyed!

Nice post, and quite impressive thanks. I am still looking forward to one day visiting Burg Khalifa in Dubai, the worlds tallest.

Yeah, that building is insane. I've never been but it's hard to believe it even exists!

Yep, it looks like the building in the "Wizard of Oz"

This is so amazing! I would love to see this!

It was incredible!
