the world's largest building

Global Center in Chengdu, Sichuan in western China, is so big that it’s got its own artificial sun. Indeed, at 500 meters (1,640 feet) long, 400 meters (1,310 feet) wide and 100 meters (325 feet) high, it’s massive enough to hold 20 Sydney Opera Houses or three Pentagons, according to local authorities. source www.ibtimes.com Yeah, I've been there many time. In fact, it is so big that you can rarely see the whole building due to the fog that's common in Chengdu. The indoor beach is only a small part of the building. A large shopping mall with many stores of all sorts, a food mall, many floors of restaurants, an ice hockey rink, a number of movie theaters, a hotel and offices occupy most of the space.

sometimes you simply have to

Nrew York is a strange city when it comes to public toilets. They almost doesn't exist. You have to sneak into restartuants, stores, hotels etc. And what's worse, the public ones are in worse shape than in many third world countries. This is the one in Washington Square Park. Right in the middle of NYU land and a place where many tourists visit. One of the finests parts of Manhattan. The upkeep seems to be limited to painting over the old grime once a year. Makes a great impression, doesn't it?

music under new york: ron gibbs

This is New York. If you can make it here, you can make it in any subway anywhere. Ron Gibbs. Jazz and Funk guitarist. Part of the program Music Under New York. A brilliant musician. I don't know if I should cry or laugh. I love music. Getting this quality of music for a dollar in a hat is amazing. As a listener. As a father of kids with extra-ordinary talents for music I'm not sure. Got to rush, got to rush. Can't miss that train. That's what keeps the kids in clothes. That's what keeps the kids off the street and above the ground. But, please, stop, for a second and drop, a dollar, in, that, hat. And don't forget to listen to the music.
