Skyscrapers in other countries

[Awauphi]

That's great that you are into natural phenomena! I sometime watch discovery shows. My dad loves to watch it every night. I usually watch it with my dad when I visit them in Oregon. I don't watch telelvision much.




LOL! I grew up with big time redneck family. Surprisely, I'm too high maintenance to be redneck! LOL! I know what redneck lifestyle is like. My family that considered themselves as rednecks but they live in nice homes but they loves to dress sloppy, eat big meals with trans fats, watch rodeos and footballs/baseballs, big trucks/SUVs, love to chew the toothpicks, always wear farmer hat caps, farmer tans, always order Salmon or Lobster with fries (no, I'm not kidding) and my grandparents are big time white trash... They left very old vehicles parked at their property... Saved furnitures and clothes from 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s. So yeah my family are crazy people but I love them! I'm nowhere near them and I considered myself as "black sheep" LOL! They always pick on me for always dress up very nicely, the way I walk (I walk like a runaway model), being snobby, being fussy about dirty, show off my egos, refused to eat foods that have trans fats inside and refused to order meals with fries on it. I got used of it.




Yeah

lol my mom grew up in california but she became red neck when she moved to Arkansas. haha.. no wonder she is a strong redneck.. hehe.. i may be a redneck but i dont kill animals! and i dont carry a gun like them rednecks do lol

Naw you should stick to your hobby that you enjoy! You chased a tornado when you was pregnant?!?!? WOW!!!!! You're crazy and awesome at same time! What it was like to chase it? Now I'm very curious!

Many countries have an international codes but not all of them have it... I am not sure if South Korea have that codes too. I think they might have since they kept buildng more and more skyscrapers to meet its growth needs.

haha yeah if i change hobby.. i prolly would be boring by minutes and will miss natural phenomena.. lol.. yes i did chased a tornado when i was preggy.. heh.. scary and wild.. but then feel high rush whoooooooooo heh... but it was fun yet dangerous.. i dont care .. my sister told me to get my butt back in the building.. she said think of your baby which i did so went back in.. sigh.. ha.. thats what everyone said im crazy but still awesome!

thanks for sharing the picture of little rock's skyline. it looks decent, not bad looking but could need a few more buildings to make it look filled out.

You're welcome. ur right it need to fill out with more buildings.. maybe it will later? who knows..

Anyone heard of Bellevue, Washington?

Bellevue is just across the Lake Washington from Seattle. Bellevue only have around 117,000 people but already have booming skyline... Over 16 skyscrapers under construction right now. I can't think of any city around the world that have similar size as Bellevue with booming skyline like that!

Here is the pictures of Bellevue... They're little old. (pictures are not mine)

No i never heard of Bellevue. that name look pretty.. and the pic of Bellevue skyline look so beautiful! I should have gone there and visit the city. I am not finished with visiting places.. the places i went to was Vancovuer, Mt. St. Helens that it.. we were suppose to go to Seattle and visit Mt. Rainier but didnt go.. wahhhhh... I hope to go back and visit again! my aunt read my palm and said i will live in NW of USA? i was like thats interesting so who knows... heh

That tower in Japan is called X-Seed 4000. Yeah it is too crazy, it is alittle taller than the Mt. Fuji!

I just found info about it, it's Sky city 1000 which looks like this:

It's about 3,200 feet tall.

Haha, your aunt thinks you will live in the NW of the US? That's interesting.

Bellevue is a rich city and it used to be a rich bedroom community for Seattle/Redmond so it's grown up to become a real city. Bellevue had only under 2,000 people in 1950. There was many farms and rural homes with Bellevue Square shopping center as a neighbor. In around 1970's, it boomed with a few lowrises and midrises and then the 2nd wave in 1980's added some highrises....now 3rd wave adding even taller skyscrapers and it's becoming a high end shopping center of the Eastside with high tech corporations and so on. They're expanding Bellevue Square mall with new higher end retail with a hotel. That mall used to be an outdoor mall until they put the lid on the roof in 1980's. It currently has 200 stores with 2 levels. It attracts 16 million visitors annually, one of the busiest shopping mall in the US. Bellevue is evoluting very quickly!

This is my favorite tower:

Rendering of this tower:

It is currently under construction, almost topping out at 1,614 feet tall with 101 floors. It is in Shanghai, China.

Be sure to visit Portland and Bend, Oregon. Both are beautiful Oregon cities.

You should visit Seattle and Bellevue, Washington too!

I am not sure if I resigtered on SSC, but I am member at SSP, at the same PuyoPiyo.

You should join SSC, its much better and more international than SSP.

Close.

Bellevue used to be strawberry farm town and home of many horses. Bellevue haven't experienced any growth until early 60s when two new floating bridges got completed. Seattle ran out of the lands to grow so they looked at Eastside for suburban developments to meet the growth. Once both floating bridges get built... Bellevue started to grow from farm town into suburban community that serves for Seattle. In the 80s, Microsoft came to Bellevue and became world's largest software company that attracts wealths to Bellevue... Bellevue became upper middle-high income suburban community. In late 90s or early 2000, Bellevue councils decided to become an independant city from Seattle so Bellevue became a city instead suburban community. After that, Bellevue started to boom out of control by building so many skyscrapers, building a several shopping malls in downtown area. Also Bellevue attracts big name companies such as Google, Eddie Bausers, Microsoft expanison, Nintenbo USA, Epedia.com, possible to be home of At&t/Cingular, and many more to add on... Everything in Bellevue is all about money.
