Childe Ben to the Dark Tower (Giant Bottle Opener) Came



This evening marked an important moment in Ben Simon history: I made it to the top of the Shanghai World Financial Center!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The 100th floor of this enormous bottle opener stands as the highest man-made point one is able to reach. Period. Taipei 101 is the only finished building that is actually taller, but only because it has a crazy spire on the top.

The Burj Tower (Dubai), which is scheduled for completion in 2009, is apparently going to absolutely dominate both the SWFC and Taipei 101, standing over 800 Meters tall! Wow!

Alright, more updates with pictures coming tomorrow! Stay Tuned!
