Thanks very much! I do tend to stumble on some cool places. The library in particular, I had no idea that would be so awesome inside. It really looks pretty unassuming on the outside, but I walked in and was like whoa. :)
Personally I consider heights to be my greatest phobia, but I have no problem (aside from a slight tightening in pit of my stomach!) as long as I'm IN something, or have a railing--something to make me at least feel like I can't easily go over the edge. So the tower was wicked high, but not bad because it's all so enclosed in glass or railing.
There's this glass-floored area which I thought was very cool, of course, though that's probably the one part of the thing that would have been better in the daytime. Kinda dark through the glass at night.
Some people were definitely hesitant about stepping onto the glass. And on the flipside, there were the obnoxious teenagers I mentioned, who were doing the "1, 2, 3.. JUMP!" thing en masse on the glass. Obviously the glass can take it--so it was really just annoying as hell. :)
