Just a while ago during the unveiling of the countdown timer for the ASEAN Summit. The countdown also signals the start of the beautification activities especially for the ceremonial route. According to the newspapers, elegant lamps will be put up.

According to an erroneous newspaper report, this digital countdown timer, which was donated by Michael Lhuillier, cost P300 million pesos... Nyehehehehehe, mas mahal pa kaysa sa CICC.

I'd like to share some photos to all @istoryans in CEBU thread, which I took in Taipei using my cheap SAMSUNG DIGIMAX....heheheheh...see the quality!. As an OFW, I get some perks to travel and get to see real skyscrapers in cities like Taiwan which holds as of now the record of having the tallest building in the world and in city like Riyadh where I'm currently working. Though, Riyadh has few buildings but there is one tower which is the 33rd tallest building in the world. How I wish that one day CEBU would have these super structures.... though, it's a long shot but I'm very optimistic about Cebu's economy. Here are the pics:


This is TAIPEI 101. The base of the tower, about 6 storey serve as a mall called 101 MALL, has all the signature buotiques but mind you, prices can cause you a fortune. Pwerteng mahala, wala gyud ko kapalit bisan usa lang ka souvenir sa 101 Mall.

The following pic which I downloaded from the internet because many places in Riyadh has this sign: "PLEASE, NO PHOTOGRAPHY". Sus, sitahon unya ko sa police or gwardiya kung magpicture-picture ko. Na!, mapriso gyud ko walay oras. Anyway, here are the pics:

This is the KINGDOM CENTER, about 5 minute drive from my place in Riyadh. In late 1999, I had seen when they started building this tower. Now, it houses the 4-Seasons Hotel or locally known as Mamlaka Hotel. It has a mall on the base of the tower and it houses high-end stores such as Marks & Spencer (which we also have in Cebu), Debenhams, Saks 5th Avenue and a branch boutique of Monique Lhuillier (a Cebuana, of course). The topmost floor serves as the viewing deck which gives a 180 degree (each side) breathtaking view of Riyadh City. The deck is open to the public but there is a viewing fee of SAR25 or about 345 pesos but it was worth it and it was really awesome!.....sus, nang-gilok akong tiil kay tan-awa ra gud ng viewing deck kay na-a suspended sa center....feeling nako, mura ko'g mahulog!... hehheheheh! By the way, this is the tower I'm talking about which is the 33rd tallest building in the world.

[socevans]

any building can be attacked by terrorists. What the occupants should just do is to always open their curtains, so that they can see all incoming planes.
