The tower
Yesterday evening I had been to the tower.
Left office on time and reached there by the subway…
Got the ticket to go up the tower…paid 135 yuan…
First thing…they gave e a free ticket to the museum below it…if u go on top I guess u get to se the museum for free…
This is the same history museum that I already visited on Saturday paying 60 yuan…irritation..
Then I went thru security check. Since I had gone straight from office I was carrying my laptop and they asked me to leave it in the locker room. I left my bag and just took my camera.
Went up…it was a round thing fully glassed….city looked nice with lights and all…but not very interesting..
Saw some shops and all…thought I’ll have coffee…went very close to the shop…then I remembered…my purse was in my bag which I left in the locker room. I dint have a single penny….increased irritation…
I understood that I was at some middle level and I had to go further up with my ticket…so went into the lift.
I had been to the Eiffel tower 2 years back. It was too cold at the top. So this time I was prepared….i had my thermals on…I had gloves …muffler…my ears were fully closed…jacket totally zipped up…I got out of the lift almost like a buffoon…and that’s really what I think I looked like because……….
This place was not like Eiffel tower top…it was an enclosed place. not open. I was not very happy. The glass was not too clear. Could not take fotos.
The city looked good…one can draw a map looking at it…but still…I was just not impressed.
Maybe I had expected too much after having been to the Eiffel tower…which was wrong…I should not be comparing…
However…I dint like it…decided to go down after 5 mins….that was a long wait…they made sure people saw some robot stuff that they had kept…we had walk thru some places to go down…this was constantly increasing my irritation…
Finally I got to the ground floor…picked up my bag and went for a taxi…
Dint get any taxi for quite sometime as it was the rush hour…started getting a little tensed. Finally managed to get a taxi and get into it. Reached home…finished pending office work…made calls to India and went to sleep a little disappointed….
