B) I'll probably be living in Ramat Gan, i.e. to the East/North-East of central Tel Aviv.
C) I'll be serving in a base that's 10 miles away.
D)thus, Teh trainz0r.

I spent a couple of weeks in Ramat Gan. I was working at the Uni in Ramat Aviv, and had to change buses at the side of some big boulevard, just across that sorry excuse for a river (well at least in summer)

Sorry excuse for a river is right - but it fills to the brim at winters, flooding the surrounding expressway.

That must've been Jabotinski Blvd., and I plan on living there.

I am not sure about that.

There are a bunch of them residental complexes here, each with a whole bunch of residental buildings, a shopping arcade, bunch of shops, some open space, etc. Yet, there is no vision to any of them as far as I can tell.

They do comply with Feng Shui though?

But given the proposed scale, I wonder how much the thing would cost.

Wouldn't Tokyo's Sky City be a Godzilla magnet?

[FrostyBoy]

Yes, the Sky City, I had forgotten about that. That is what I would call a mini-arcology.

Also the Freedom Ship, another amazing project, which can hold 40,000 people, the ship will travel to all major ports around the world. (from south korea)

Just thought I'd share some interesting pictures I have come across.



I had never heard of the eye of the sky tower building, here's a picture of it:

Two words: Alien dildo.

Edit: Hell, that's refering to the Oakland thing. Here's two more words for that 10,000' thing: Alien butt-plug.

GODDAMN MOTHER****ING FREEFORM ****ING ARCHITECTS.

****ing hate them. They can shove their Sydney Opera styled buildings up their ass. It was good. as a singular building in a city. Maybe two, if it's a real big city. But not skyscrapers. not these Alien turds. (Ultima tower my ass)
