Title: Supertall skyscrapers

Makes New York look like a small Town . They got the old and the new all within an two hour drive . My favorite is the Crown Building at night .
The reason I wanted to go over Singapore on my first Trip is especially because I wanted to go to Kuala Lumpor to see the ... damn forgot the name ... Petronia Tower's ... something like that . I had the return flight booked over Taiwan to see the 101 tower . Love tall Building's and Bridges like the new Hong Kong Stonecutter Bridge , wonder's in my Lifetime .

At first I would start to take pictures of them I realized that there are hundreds upon hundreds in small concentrated areas. In my neighborhood I have this really cool building that has Greek gods bursting out of one side and some other people entering it. Truly unique and one of a kind. I'm enclosing pix of this building and will start posting pix of buildings as I come across them.
