Taiwan - Taipei 101

It's quite challenging to take a great picture of the whole Taipei 101, especially with my limited 'point and shoot' digicam. This is just a picture with the lower floors to get an idea of some details and decor.
One thing I noticed (and very annoying) was, the underground garage is right by the main entrance, and there are 2-3 guys with uniforms organizing the traffic, they were using a whistle (similar to the ones you hear all the time at some San Francisco hotels to summon cab drivers) combined with hand gestures. So walking on the overpass from New York, New York to Taipei 101, about 1/2 miles away, you just heard the noisy whistling all the time.
