Feeling Dizzy? Dont fall!

Posted by kylie (Shanghai, China) on 24 October 2008 in Architecture and Portfolio.

Inside the Jin Mao tower looking down. This is the view from the 88th floor looking down to the lobby of the Hyatt Hotel on the 53rd floor. Its quite a drop! Notice the person standing against the railing on the right several floors down? There is only a waist-height railing to protect them from a very exciting but short trip to the bottom. I have to confess my stomach was doing cartwheels, and my knees were trembling when I took these photos. Meanwhile all around me small children fought each other to get a better view and bang their sticky hands as hard as they could on the glass to see if they could break it. The only recovery after experiencing something like this is a lie down and one of those really colourful drinks with all the umbrellas in it...
