This is amazing from the tallest building in the world, you can pan around and zoom etc etc.

It's a bizarre city set up for tourists and investment. Looks very hotchpotch and a bit toy-like really.

When I get too high I get a tingling sensation in the boys - no idea why but has happened ever since I can remember.
