Yeah, it's not often you see a shot that incorporates Abeno Harukas into the rest of the skyline

So when is the skyline battle scheduled to continue?

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.

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.
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..
