High things you can “climb”
There is something with high buildings in which you can get up to a point where you have a view of the surrounding area. I first realized how much more a city means to me if I’ve seen it all in one “picture” when I went up the “Euromast” in Rotterdam after living there for over a year.
In the moment it took me to see it all I was amazed by the fact that there was:
a. so much more city than I ever imagined, realized or knew there was.
b. that I could get to most of it within 30 mins. traveling.
And ever since that moment I like to be high up in things when it enables me to see a city or area as a whole, thus I was excited when one of my (ex-) employers took the company up in a hot air balloon to see the area to which our office had moved and I loved it when I could see most of Berlin by going up into the “Fernsehturm” and now I’ve had the same wonderful experience with Paris after going up the Eiffel tower :)
Thanks Deckardt for the patience! ;)
