The Tower of Glass

So this is the tower of glass from the outside. It's basically a house, where people do actually live, but filled with glass. There are four floors which you clamor through on a tiny, tiny staircase. The top floor has an amazing view of a cemetery.
This is just one example of the amount of glass items you'll find here. It makes for the most surreal scenery. Imagine relaxing in a room like this, smoking sheesha, and looking out from the fourth floor.

More and more and more glass.

This is what you see from the top floor if you stick your camera out through all the hanging glass fixtures. It's a cemetery, but not like you and I would imagine. These are more like tombs than graves. I'm really excited about visiting "The City of the Dead." It's a cemetery where people live and have created a kind of community.

This is me desperately trying to make my way down the staircase without breaking anything...if you know me, you know this is very, very difficult.
