I can honestly say I've never seen anything that impressive in real life. You win!

There is a bar in Amsterdam, though, that's pretty cool. It's all squiggly and wavy or something.

Not as impressive, but have you seen any of the Gaudi buildings in Barcelona?

You should see those from the bottom. They are huge.
Each tower has Hindu Gods on them.

There are 12 temple towers(Gopurams). The outer towers are the landmarks of Madurai. They are:

1. East Tower (Nine Storeys). Height 161'3". This Gopura has 1011 sudhai figures.
2. South Tower (Nine Storeys). Height 170'6". This Tower has 1511 sudhai figures.
3. West Tower (Nine Storeys). Height 163'3". This Tower has 1124 sudhai figures.
4. North Tower (Nine Storeys). Height 160'6". This Tower has lesser figures of sudhai than other outer towers.

Its mind blowing.

I think his Sagrada Familia (sp?) is waaay cooler than that, even only half finished. Anyone got a pic?
