The huge Damper ball !

To keep the building from swinging, a huge damper ball hands in the center of the building at the 90th floor...

Taipei 101 building

the tallest building on the planet (until that one in Dubai is complete)... It was really cool to ride the world's fastest elevator !

Sailing the northern islands (Mauritius)

The rough seas were a lot of fun for those daring enough to sit up front on the Catamaran !
