wow, some really nice pictures!
I like really like that star tower. It looks very futuristic. A Starfleet Badge instead of that star and it could have been a Star Trek Set :)

Are you a skyscrapers fan? Do you collect pictures of them or models or something? ^_^

Nice collection, quite a few good looking pictures, although i'm more of a fan of military equipment (for some odd reason), these pictures are great.

Well here is the IBC (International Business Center)

It is to be completed in 2009, 580 meters and 130 floors. Quite a beauty but it will be surpassed by the Dubai Tower very soon.. Wow.. These skyscrapers are amazing!

Nope, there are only like 10~25 Buildins surrounding it and they are about 30~55 floors. Well.. South Korea has its own decent Air Force and they're been preparing for a war for the past 50 years so I think the Al Quida will think twice of Attacking Korea

The Central Business Disctrict was greatly impaced by the Korean Air Force, with a building height limit (AAAAAH!!!!!!!) There are only 4 buildings in that area that exceeds 30 floors (AHHHHHH!!!!!) :omg:

Here is a picture of that, That mountiain is the Nam San Mountain and there are hundreds of 15~25 floor buildings surrounding that mountiain. That is the so-called "Central" Business District
