So when is the skyline battle scheduled to continue?

desu should have started it today but I forgot : ^ )

They are building this to Tampere

Thease to Pasila Helsinki

brety god

imagine if japs didnthave so many earthquakes


their cities would look radical

Considering how "young" Taiwan is, there's some pretty nice temples there.

Maybe, some day. I sort of hope not, they're kinda ugly I think

I do believe there at least would be thinner and far more towers. Not necessarily much taller, as they would still have airport regulations and such. Seems like they're pretty tied on being experimental too.

I really wish there were any good documentaries on Japanese skyscrapers.

yeah absolutely gorgeous

I wish mainland China was into preserving it's own culture like that ...

>tfw you'll never live in ancient Finland

not bad for a country like that

They've also got pic related awaiting construction atm. Who knows, maybe the Mongol empire is rising again beneath our noses.

>I wish mainland China was into preserving it's own culture like that ...

Haha great meme user topkek

They are currently collapsing economically

About to go begging to the IMF. China should step in and cuck them back into their orbit.

But a nice city overall. 1 million people

kouvola architecture :D

Well, it's Lotte who are financing that tower, so it's not like that would go out of Mongol salaries to begin with. Interest from the South Korean's might be lost now, though. Mongolia had a pretty good and steady growth until just the past year.

It was in 2011 11.2, 7.6, 4.5, 3.2% in 2015 and recession this year.

Mongolia is just a mine for China/America.

If I was China I'd use this as a way of getting Mongolia permanently aligned with China over Russia or America.

...

Seems like they were in worse economic turmoil in 2010, and they recuperated just fine then, so who knows about tomorrow.

Rate

Nice/10

How strong are those glass bricks, though?

That as because of the 2008-2009 recession.
They recuperated because the world grew 4% that year.

Thoughts?

I'm the Portuguese flag who posts OC (now living in England). How's the skyline competition going? Has it ended? Who won?

I'll just be leaving some original pics, hopefully some I haven't posted yet.

Pic is Zhangjiajie

Zhangjiajie

I missed it if it ended. Koreaboo seemed to have died for a week

Wow that background is amazing! S

So it's still on? Maybe I haven't missed much.

Pic is Guilin

Zhangjiajie is the most beautiful place I have ever been to. It's also the place I hold the dearest memories.

Guilin.

I guess the glass bricks have the save as normal bricks, so I guess they are strong enough..
