We were quite jet-lagged and didn't think we would enjoy it enough to justify the price. We once went up Taipei 101, when it was the world's tallest building and it was fabulous. I don't remember what it cost but I don't think it was too bad.The Travelling Lindfieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913037078617574735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6754117460183392334.post-18282408713710480542019-07-11T07:42:51.856+10:002019-07-11T07:42:51.856+10:00Haha- if you don't like heights, don't go ...Haha- if you don't like heights, don't go on the London Eye.
